Full textWith the objective to contribute to the knowledge of forms of representation pursued by rising elites in seventeenth century France, preceding the personal reign of Louis XIV, the present dissertation focuses on the decoration of the château Vaux-le-Vicomte, which has so far been inadequately examined in its entire meaning. The decoration was realized under the responsibility of Charles Le Brun from 1657 to 1661 for the surintendant des finances Nicolas Fouquet. Its history of reception has been highly marked by a mythically transfigured perception and influenced by numerous legends about the rise and fall of Fouquet, which required an abstracting approach. A closer reflection on the functions of a ›maison de plaisance‹ and its contemporary perception was followed by an iconographic and formal analysis especially of the ceiling paintings, the interior furnishings and the sculptures in the gardens. Furthermore, we explored the literary transmitting strategies developed to promote Vaux-le-Vicomte and the respective objectives of its decoration. The concept of representation appeared to be very complex, also reflecting Le Brun’s artistic ambitions as well as several contemporary theoretical debates in an academical context. Concerning the legitimizing and approval strategies of the rising elites, a comparative perspective showed their very divergent access to art as a medium of distinction. The efforts of Fouquet to promote his further ascension were decisive for the decoration of Vaux-le-Vicomte, thereby entirely lacking signs of modesty regarding the king and therefore straining the decorum appropriate for a minister
