S\u00e9bastien Le Clerc (1637-1714), l\u2019un des graveurs les plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bres et les plus prolifiques de son temps, se distingue \u00e9galement par une carri\u00e8re exceptionnellement riche et diversifi\u00e9e. Apr\u00e8s s\u2019\u00eatre essay\u00e9 \u00e0 la cartographie et \u00e0 la poliorc\u00e9tique \u00e0 Metz, il s\u2019installe \u00e0 Paris pour int\u00e9grer la manufacture des Gobelins. Re\u00e7u ensuite \u00e0 l\u2019Acad\u00e9mie de peinture et de sculpture, il s\u2019emploie \u00e0 d\u00e9montrer la dignit\u00e9 de la gravure en revendiquant un statut \u00e9gal \u00e0 celui des peintres. En parall\u00e8le, il r\u00e9digea plusieurs ouvrages de fortification et de g\u00e9om\u00e9trie pratique avant de se tourner vers l\u2019optique, l\u2019architecture et la cosmologie. Son atelier, fr\u00e9quent\u00e9 par de nombreux curieux, devint peu \u00e0 peu un lieu de sociabilit\u00e9 savante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En examinant l\u2019entrelacement in\u00e9dit de ces diff\u00e9rentes pratiques, Antoine Gallay (Section d’histoire de l’art<\/a>) explore dans cet ouvrage les rapports complexes entre arts et savoirs \u00e0 l\u2019aube des Lumi\u00e8res afin d\u2019\u00e9clairer les conditions d\u2019\u00e9mergence de notre propre conception dichotomique de l\u2019art et de la science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
