Summary
Resumen el propósito de este artículo es reflexionar, a partir del poema “Vénus de Milo” de Leconte de Lisle, sobre el proceso de “recodificación sígnica” que esta conocida estatua experimentó en el Imaginario literario francés durante la primera mitad del s. XIX y que la convirtió rápidamente en símbolo inequívoco de la Belleza Ideal. A tal efecto, el artículo comenzará con una breve introducción en la que se examinará el papel desempeñado inicialmente por críticos, arqueólogos e historiadores del Arte para, a continuación, analizar cómo Leconte de Lisle asumió y “remodeló” esa recodificación para adaptarla a su ideario poético.
