Le Cabinet de Monsieur de Scudery (1646) est le musee imaginaire d’un poete renomme, une serie de 110 poemes commentant plus de 110 tableaux, reels ou fictifs, de peintres, connus ou obscurs, Italiens, Francais, Flamands, Hollandais et Allemands, des XVe, XVIeet XVIIe siecles. Catalogue de peintres calque sur la disposition des cabinets reels, l’ouvrage est aussi une promenade, un riche repertoire de genres et de sujets. Mythologie, portraits, nature morte, tableaux de genre, Scudery se pose en connaisseur et en ” critique d’art “. Cette ” ekphrasis ” (texte commentant des oeuvres d’art) du XVIIe siecle est enfin un discours tenu par la poesie sur la politique du temps, et surtout sur l’illusion picturale. Le poete, affichant sa legitimite absolue, et celebrant l’art pictural, illustre et renforce son pouvoir pour dire simultanement le mot et la chose, tandis que la peinture n’est qu’un intermediaire entre la chose et le mot.
