Zusammenfassung:"This paper explores the workings of miniature paintings in France during the revolutionary and post-revolutionary era. Emblematic of shared feeling, these painted tokens of affection nonetheless circulated in an economy of disrupted relations to such an extent that only a small percentage of those portrayed there can be today identified. This essay asks what happens when representations like these go awry. What endures when there is no subject to distinguish? This research takes as its corpus unidentified portraits for the period 1789-1815 in the Musée du Louvre, the Musée Cognacq-Jay, the Tansey Miniatures Foundation, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Concentrating on the preponderance of portraits of women, the chapter asks what the popularity of miniature painting, reaching a pinnacle in France between Thermidor and the advent of the Napoleonic Empire, can tell us about the fantasmatics of this era, and post-revolutionary attempts to imagine the feelings of others."
