Abstract

This article investigates how one of the most eminent Byzantinists of the twentieth century, André Grabar (1896–1990), constructed his own methodology in a balanced dialogue between texts and images. At the very core of this study is his monograph L’empereur dans l’art byzantin (1936), which can be seen as emblematic of Grabar’s approach. However, this article investigates not only Grabar’s methodology but also his personal cultural background. I believe that this approach is necessary in the context of the epistemology of art history, since, as has been proven in other important studies, the interplay between history, social situations, and scholarship is crucial.

摘要

本文探讨了 20 世纪最杰出的拜占庭主义者之一安德烈·格拉巴尔（André Grabar，1896-1990 年）如何在文本和图像之间的平衡对话中构建自己的方法论。这项研究的核心是他的专着L'empereur dans l'art byzantin (1936)，这可以看作是 Grabar 方法的象征。然而，本文不仅调查了 Grabar 的方法，还调查了他的个人文化背景。我相信这种方法在艺术史认识论的背景下是必要的，因为正如其他重要研究所证明的那样，历史、社会情况和学术之间的相互作用至关重要。
