Abstract (en)

The semiotic experiment attempted here explores the fluctuations of meaning produced by interferences between textual and figurative representation within one picture. Examples such as the portrait with its presentation of the subject and the topographical city plan with its representation of space by drawing and typographic naming of places provide the foundation for a more in-depth exploration of the Ex-Voto of 1662 by Philippe de Champaigne (Paris, Louvre). This painting is an exceptional illustration of the interference between image and text.
