The interaction between words and images is perpetual. Sometimes the relationship is conflictual, sometimes a state of cooperation prevails. It is not unusual that to compensate the absence of one of the opponents, the other one evokes his presence: images illustrate words and words describe images. This last strategy is precisely ékphrasis, one of the many ways in which the relation between literature and the figurative arts, especially painting, is manifested. It is only a word, but its meaning is not univocal. Discussions on the character of ékphrasis are intertwined with other disputes about the relations between the two arts with great intensity in the work of the Italian Gabriele D'Annunzio. It will deal with the relations and dialogues between Dannunzio’s writings (journalism, prose and poetry) and the pictorial work of the PreRaphaelite painter Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema.
