Abstract
Stewart examines the genre of painted reading during the nineteenth-century. He claims that with the act of reading in real time, a text's unheard melodies ripple through the bodily sensorium, including the kinesthetic dimension of even silent enunciation. Painted reading can only generate the image of such energy under wraps, invisible on the body's surface, offering as the tacit fact of reading everything that must go unseen in the licensed voyeurism of the pose.
