Resumo: This essay will examine some accounts of French travelers-writers of the nineteenth century, which, in the tradition of the grand tour, described in textual pictures and ecfrasis an imaginary of plastic beauty related to Italian scenes and landscapes. The histo­rical context of the struggle for Italian unification is highlighted in some passages from Chateaubriand’s Voyage en Italie, Stendhal’s Promenades dans Rome and Theophile Gautier’s Voyage en Italie, pointing out the construction of the look at the other according to different aesthetic - neoclassical, modern and ro­mantic -, various pictorial genres - history painting, genre painting and landscapes - and literary genres: letters and memoirs, guides and travel stories. As a means to emphasize the relationship between fictional and pictorial art and literature and the projection of political contexts, in counterpoint there is a different, “another” look, that of George Sand and Alexandre Dumas.

Destacam-se em algumas passagens de Voyage en Italie, de Chateaubriand, Prome­nades dans Rome, de Stendhal e, da Voyage en Italie, de Théophile Gautier seu contexto histórico relativo às lutas pela unificação da Itália, observando-se a construção de um olhar sobre o outro, de acordo com diferentes estéticas, neoclássica, moderna e romântica, diversos gêne­ros picturais, pintura de história, cenas de gênero e paisagens e gêneros literários: carta e memórias, guias e narrativas jornalísticas de viagem. Para enfatizar a relação entre imaginários pinturescos da arte e da literatura e a projeção de espaços políticos, é feito o contraponto com um olhar “outro”, o de George Sand e Alexandre Dumas.Universidade Federal Fluminense2012-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/3300910.22409/gragoata.v17i33.33009Gragoatá; Vol. 17 No. 33 (2012): Pathways of contemporaryGragoatá; v. 17 n. 33 (2012): Percursos do Contemporâneo2358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v17i33reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33009/18996Copyright (c) 2019 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMello, Celina Maria Moreira de2019-08-23T10:56:52Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33009Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2019-08-23T10:56:52Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
