AbstractThe medieval landscape seems like a particularly interesting theme from which to study the ways in which the 19th century projected itself onto the Middle Ages : either empty, erratic or incomplete, depending on the source, the landscape invites creative reconstructions. Marchangy, one of the promoters of a descriptive literature that puts in place a medieval environment with no real historical ambition, rebuilds the medieval landscape by taking as his starting point a bibliography that is as gigantic as it is eclectic. He then leaves his imagination free reign to fill in the gaps left by the documentary lacunae. A romantic aesthetic thus arises from his work which may still influence our own vision of the Middle Ages.
