AbstractThis article exhumes the models that governed the emergence of the gallery as an architectural space in France in order to study, more specifically, the livre-galerie (“ gallery-book ”). After proposing a classification intended to account for its various functions as fully as possible, the author focuses on the crafting of the livre-galerie through the rhetorical categories of inventio, dispositio, and elocutio. Based on the fantasized or imaginary spaces reproduced by this aesthetic curiosity of the Grand Siècle, the analysis attempts to infer the diverse intentions that may have conspired to bring the livre-galerie into being.
