The book intends to shed light on the stakes and challenges surrounding ekphrasis as it was practiced under France’s Ancien Regime. After identifying the constituent features of descriptive discourse in Greco-Latin rhetorical reflection, the study looks at its reception by theorists in the seventeenth century.
