Abstract
The "Florilège des Amours de Ronsard" is a livre d'artiste that Matisse worked on during World War II and that came out in 1948 (Skira). It is difficult to get to know livres d'artiste as they are rare and not often reproduced. Like many such objects, the Florilège has mostly been considered within art scholarship and by museum curators. While those perspectives are necessary, this article notes that the book is, besides a suite of prints, also a collection of Ronsard poems. Reading it reveals a unity that makes of the Florilège a new book of poems by Ronsard.
