«La dormeuse de Naples» is a novel by Adrien Goetz, published by Seuil in paperback (117 pages, in French).
In 1814, the Ingres painting that gives the novel its title disappeared. Three handwritten notebooks invite readers to follow the trail of the work and its model: a confession by the painter, a text attributed to Corot, and the testimony of an artist friend of Géricault. The action takes place between Naples, Rome, and romantic Paris.
The work was originally published in 2005; the cover features the Grands Romans collection from Points.
For those interested in contemporary French fiction and mysteries surrounding art history.
