Abstract (en)

Seeks to explain how the style of modern professional scholars of art is unlike that of the amateur, preprofessional art historians, how this change has taken place, and how the modern art-historical text was created. Offers a number of case studies in the writing of art history and criticism, looking for example at texts on paintings by Piero della Francesco, Caravaggio, Jan van Eyck and Robert Campin, J.L. David, Manet and Matisse; at the writings of Winckelmann and Pater; and at the role of the spectator.
