In France, the production of maps and plans by military engineers was often considered a technical activity technique obeying set graphic codes established beginning in the late seventeenth century. Adopting a more nuanced point of view, this article postulates that, in the context of the «court society» established by Louis XIV, military drawing, like all artistic production, conformed to the theoretical debates carried out in the various royal academies. Examining, chapter by chapter, the various drawing manuals for engineers published between 1680 and 1750, this article aims to remind us how much military drawing was, on this account, a «courtierly art» that quickly adapted to the concepts, sometimes subjective, of propriety, bienséance and good taste applied by the Académie Royale de Peinture.
P. 315-329.
