Abstract

The present paper concentrates on Gaspard de la Nuit, fantaisies à la manière de Rembrandt et de Callot, a work from Aloysius Bertrand, consecrated as the creator of modern prose poem in France. After conceiving Bertrand’s genre as a kind of creation constructed upon tensions, the study presents some commentators (contemporaneous to the author). Then, the relation between verbal and pictorial arts is focalized with reference to Bertrand’s prose poems in general, albeit especially in “Le maçon” and “Le bibliophile”.
