In the Autumn 2006 issue of Critique d’Art, Bruno-Nassim Aboudrar rejoices that “at least three recent books attest to the new awareness on the part of art history of the theoretical challenges of its object or — which comes to more or less the same thing — attest to a reconciliation-in-progress between art history and the philosophical dimension inherent to it.” He is referring to the (re-)publication of Louis Marin’s Opacité de la peinture: essais sur la répresentation au Quattrocento, the latest issue of Perspective, and Clelia Nau’s Le Temps du sublime: Longin et le paysage poussinien.
