Ragione grafica e ragioni iconica: una riflessione sul crepuscolo del XX secolo

The paper discusses a series of considerations starting from the relationship between art and law, with reference to the historical context of the development of the artistic current of Impression- ism. The reflection is occasioned, in fact, by a recent publication by Fabrizio Marinelli L’impressionismo giuridico. Artisti e giuristi nella Francia dell’Ottocento. In particular, it takes account of the methodological innovation that emerges in Law and humanities studies: this approach have contributed, through a series of overlaps, to redefining the boundaries of legal knowledge. In this sense, the discussion unfolds through a line of reasoning that investigates the aesthetic articulation of the renovation of legal studies that emerges in particular in the writings of Gény and Saleilles, through a critical analysis that allows one to identify links between different cultural phenomena in the same era.
