description The motif of the painted portrait, widely attested in the 19th century European literature, plays a crucial role in Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly’s works, characterized as a threshold object founded on the triad of absence, desire and phantasm. Like a game of mirrors, the portrait and the text reflect their intrinsic lack in each other, delivering the reader a disturbing face to face with death. A true isotopy of the supernatural chains itself to the portrait which, rather than appearing as the theater of memory supposed to resuscitate the past, appears as a fascinating object able to bewitch the characters. The spectrality which characterizes it transforms it into a haunted portrait filling the text with visions and spectres.
