Abstract
Among ornamented canvas, many take their subjects from popular themes, including those of literary topical successes, such as the works of Marmontel (Bélisaire, Les Incas), Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (Paul and Virginie), Chateaubriand (Atala), Carmouche (The Vampire). Moments deemed to be key from these novels are retained in the imaging, responding to the expectations of the public at the time in the context of ideological, memorial and educational functions for these dream machines that are the “toiles de Jouy”.
