Summary: "Histoire de la caricature au moyen âge et sous la renaissance" by Champfleury is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work examines the evolution and significance of caricature as an art form during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, exploring how it reflects societal attitudes of those times. It particularly emphasizes the role of grotesque and satirical imagery in religious and civil architecture, revealing the interplay between serious artistic expressions and the more playful or mocking representations. The beginning of the text introduces Champfleury's intention to address the misunderstandings surrounding the caricatures found in medieval and Renaissance art. He contends with critics who dismiss such art as mere frivolity, arguing that it provides valuable insights into the beliefs and customs of the past. Through a combination of historical analysis and personal reflection, he sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how caricature functioned as a means of social commentary, revealing the underlying cultural tensions and the dual nature of artistic expression prevalent during these periods.
