It discusses how these mythological compositions reflect the challenges of representing a coherent self amidst the complexities of spectatorship and embodied experience, especially in the context of post-Revolutionary France. The analysis highlights how light and shadow complicate the viewer's understanding of identity, suggesting that the act of viewing becomes entangled with the artist's own vulnerabilities and the viewer's sensory experiences. Ultimately, the article posits that Girodet's works serve as a lens through which to explore the disjointed nature of selfhood and the limitations of rational vision in art. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Eighteenth Century: Theory & Interpretation is the property of University of Pennsylvania Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
