Abstract

Love, eros, and art hold a productive relationship which the early nineteenth century imagined to be the creative origin of art. After having reconstructed an ingenious-romantic model of artistic production, the paper shows that this love based art-eros-model served as reference point in literature and music throughout the whole century, reflecting not only poetological but also fundamental socio-historical questions.
