English summary: During the Renaissance, the valorization of images, their profusion, and the demonstration of their power was accompanied by a theoretical stratification that combined theology and philosophy, magic and morality, medicine and politics. In this decisive period of European history, how were images and ideas, shadows and mirrors, models and enactments articulated? French description: A la Renaissance, la valorisation des images, leur profusion et la mise en evidence de leurs pouvoirs s’accompagnent d’une stratification theorique reunissant theologie et philosophie, magie et morale, medecine et politique. Peut-on decouvrir un fil directeur dans cette diversite ? En cette periode decisive de l’histoire europeenne, comment s’articulent l’image et l’idee, l’ombre et le miroir, le modele et le simulacre ? L’enquete ici menee conduit de Nicolas de Cues a Marsile Ficin, de Pic de la Mirandole a Giordano Bruno. Elle fait aussi grand cas du Tasse : Eveiller au moyen d’images, disait le poete, est une activite bien plus noble qu’enseigner par la demonstration.
