Différents écrits adressés à des Princes font l’objet de ces essais, mais ce qui les unit n’est pas tant la nature royale de ces destinataires que la volonté d’accorder un intérêt sincère à des écrits trop longtemps écartés parce que soupçonnés d’hypocrisie. Des empereurs romains à Napoléon, les Princes – appelons-les de ce terme volontairement générique – suscitent et reçoivent des conseils pour avancer sur le chemin de leur pouvoir ; mais aussi, en devenant rois, ils font naître et évoluer les artistes qui les informent. Car, si le roi devient légitime et vertueux grâce à la lecture qu’un artiste présente de lui, c’est par le regard du roi que l’artiste devient véritablement artiste. Examiner différents aspects de ces rapports entre artistes et Princes est l’objet de cet ouvrage, dans lequel s’entrecroisent des approches diverses aussi bien par leur méthode que par leur ancrage chronologique.

The portrayal of princes plays a central role in the historical literature of the European Renaissance. The sixteen contributions collected in this volume examine such portrayals in a broad variety of historiographical, biographical, and poetic texts. It emerges clearly that historical portrayals were not essentially bound by generic constraints but instead took the form of res gestae or historiae, discrete or collective biographies, panegyric, mirrors for princes, epic poetry, orations, even commonplace books – whatever the occasion called for. Beyond questions of genre, the chapters focus on narrative strategies and the transformation of ancient, medieval, and contemporary authors, as well as on the influence of political, cultural, intellectual, and social contexts. Four broad thematic foci inform the structure of this book: the virtues ascribed to the prince, the cultural and political pretensions inscribed in literary portraits, the historical and literary models on which these portraits were based, and the method that underlay them. The volume is rounded out by a critical summary that considers the portrayal of princes in humanist historiogrpahy from the point of view of transformation theory.
