| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | La Fosse’s Allegory of Autumn as Bacchus and Ariadne, painted for the ensemble of The Four Seasons conceived by Jules Hardouin-Mansart for the Grand Salon of Marly in 1699, brings into focus the artist’s means of allegorization. This essay analyzes the painting in two interrelated aspects: it considers the mode of temporality in La Fosse’s individual visual poiesis and its bearing on the development of French painting on the cusp of the eighteenth century. Considering the temporality of allegory, the essay seeks to demonstrate how the ensemble of paintings from the Grand Salon signals a new stage in the development of the French academic school, marked particularly by a departure from logos-driven allegories and an embrace of more complex, temporal allegories grounded in a pictorial medium. In addition, the essay points to the emergence of the pictorial mode of lamentation adapted by La Fosse from contemporaneous opera. |
