Abstract

This article tries to define Art History in the field of science. We will understand science under the aegis of the theories of the philosopher of science Imre Lakatos. The text tries to show the possibility of thinking Art History from a rational point of view, under the assumption that it is possible to provide a rational historical reconstructionof the discipline’s object of study, as well as a rational reconstruction of the historiography of art.
