Summary

Pascal Quignard: Terrace in Rome

"There is an age in which we no longer encounter life but time" - is a sentence from the novel Terrace in Rome (Grand Prize of the French Academy), in which Pascal Quignard told the life and work of the painter Geoffroy Meaume, born in Paris in 1617 and died in Utrecht in 1667. Meaume belonged to the school of painters who depicted things that most people considered vulgar in a subtle manner. Like his contemporaries, he traveled from city to city, from Bruges, Antwerpen, Mainz, Paris, London, to the south of Italy. He stayed in Rome the longest. His studio had a terrace on the Aventine where his friend Lorenac would come at dusk to talk about life and art. In Rome, Meaume made engravings of landscapes, religious scenes and obscenities that were burned in the public square in 1664. Sexuality and forbidden love for Nanna Veet Jakobsz ruin Meaume, but the inexhaustible conversation with the absent being to whom his whole life is dedicated actually constitutes the "matter" of his work. The body, fire, atmosphere of silence and stopped time, both mystical and everyday things mark this novel, which is told with the painting process of chiaroscuro.
