Lise Maurer, « Rives et dérive : Ou de quelques ex-voto peints et du regard à l'œuvre », Essaim, ID : 10670/1.z0opj0
Shores and drifting. On certain painted ex-voto and different perspectivesShores and drifting : with the discovery of ex-voto painted on wood and exhibited at the Marine Museum of Venice, this essay sets to examine a surprising ex-voto represented in the final unfinished painting by Titien, a pieta of the xvith century. And in the course of a stroll into the past it questions the place of the request and the word in ex-voto. Do they not bear witness to Man’s relationship to his own mortality, to an era, to its ways of thinking, to different perspectives?
