Summary/Abstract: Céline Sciamma’s 2019 film Portrait of a Lady on Fire places in focus painterly representation accompanied by the female gaze. It addresses femininity not only by employing almost exclusively female characters, but eminently by delving into the power of the female gaze. Departing from the possibilities of intersectional analysis (Wilson 2021), this article proposes to discuss the ways in which the female gaze is related to intermediality, inviting the other arts to a symbiotic dialogue. In the connection between painting and film, the collaboration of the painter Hélène Delmaire is also investigated.
