The purpose of this research on the subject of "Artistic and Literary Representations of Sacred Spaces - From New Classicism to Romanticism" is to describe France's spiritual atmosphere in the 19^<th> century. Its focus is on mid-18^<th> century to early 19^<th> century France, and especially on such Parisian landmarks as the pantheon and the Madeleine temple, which host paintings and sculptures forming an internal space, as well as on external spaces such as the gardens that are located in the vicinity of major monuments. This study allows us to see how "sacred spaces" are represented, how they embody social and religious thought, and finally, how they relate to literature. In this summarized presentation of some of the results of our research, we begin by explaining what the pantheon in Paris was originally meant for when it was built, and how it became a mausoleum for illustrious individuals, including artists (ARAKI Zenta). We also analyze the painted ceilings of the Madeleine temp … More le, another remarkable example of the architecture of the time, in relation with "the dreams of romanticism and the human epic" enabled by exchanges between painters and writers (TAMURA Takeshi). As far as painting is concerned, a reading of Baudelaire's critical work and a comparison between David's "Mahler assassinated" and Daumier's "Transnanon street" provide material to construe the transition from new-classicism to realism as a conflict between represented ideals and reality (YOSHIMURA Kazuaki). Our research finally sees its perspective broadened by contributions from junior researchers such as : examinations of the "island of Cythera" that Watteau, Nodier, Nerval, and Baudelaire described as an ideal paradise (YASUOKA (TAGUCHI) Aki), a definition of the "suburbia of Paris" in the late 19^<th> century which appears in some works of Zola as a pastoral utopia (TANAKA Takuzo), and a discovery of the fact that representations of a "cosmos" that transcends an individual ego which we find in Le Clezio's writings are a new kind of "sacralization of space" (SUZUKI Masao). A bibliography carefully selected from a wide range of fields, which covers architecture, paintings and literature, is attached (SUZUKI Masao). Less
