Abstract
How can a writer transform a coloured detail of an oil painting (Vermeer’s View of Delft) into the elusive and legendary “petit pan de mur jaune” of Proust’s À la Recerche du temps perdu? Through the analysis of Proust’s stylistic choices, in this paper I discuss the idea that this yellow component is indeed the visualisation of the artist’s unique point of view, which reinvents reality by the use of metaphors.
