Résumé
This article examines in several libertine novels of the late 18th century the tricky relationship between the exhibition space and the artwork when the latter is a licentious representation of the naked body. Fictional “petites maisons” and “boudoirs” are both voluptuous places and artistic spaces devoted to the exhibition of nudes. Described in reference and in contrast to the Salon in the Louvre, they are considered as libertine Salons. The intertextuality is a way of depicting the paintings and the sculptures in these places which involve a multiplicity of recreated nudes.
