La Ceppède a Emmaus
P. 471-484
- The episode of Emmaus, marked by the contrast between vision and non-vision, is a challenge for the arts of representation through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The painters are fascinated by this challenge, as much as the meditative poets. After a short review of some examples of meditative sonnets inspired by the theme of Emmaus, this article is focused on the reach series of sonnets that Jean de La Ceppède dedicated to this topic, according to the different moments of the Gospel account. The heart of the question is the use of images to express a mystery of presence/absence and a passage from blindness to acknowledgement. Moreover, the paradoxical relation between veil and unveiling in the spiritual tradition fits into that eye's history which has a watershed in the seventeenth-century modernity. [Publisher's text]
