- Title
Amour et Gibelotte, ou l'appétit des titres.
- Authors
Tortonese, Paolo
- Abstract
In the Salon of 1859, Baudelaire wonders about the title of a painting he had not seen: Amour et Gibelotte, and formulates hypotheses about what it could represent: An idyllic scene? a caricature? an allegory? This painting being lost, we can carry on the interpretation of the title after Baudelaire, with the help of the available information about its creator, the painter Ernest Seigneurgens, and the practices of the time in the use of titles. The outcome is a dossier that prompts a reflection on the modalities of representation and, particularly, on the relationship between comedy and realism in Baudelaire's literary thought and practice.
