With his well-known enthusiasm, audacity, and erudition, Daniel Arasse invites us on a journey through the history of painting spanning six centuries, from the invention of perspective to the disappearance of the figure. Evoking major issues (perspective, the Annunciation, the status of detail, the ups and downs of anachronism, restoration, and the conditions of visibility and exhibition), as well as specific painters and paintings, he intelligently and fervently brings several key moments to life, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Mannerism, and Vermeer, Ingres, and Manet. His analysis is constantly enriched by concrete examples in a collection that concludes with certain aspects of contemporary art. Daniel Arasse thus inspires a desire to see or re-see great moments in painting, of which he offers a subtle and open reading. Through the effect of giving and generosity, the voice arouses the desire to see and see again better, it surprises us, awakens us and draws us into a true enchantment of intelligence which is never devoid of humor. This book is the transcription of the 25 programs offered by the author on France Culture during the summer of 2003.
