Michael Ann Holly asserts that historical interpretation of the
pictorial arts is always the intellectual product of a dynamic
exchange between past and present. recent theory emphasizes the
subjectivity of the historian and the ways in which any
interpretation betrays the presence of an interpreter. In Past
Looking, she challenges that view, arguing that historical objects
of representational art are actively engaged in prefiguring the
kinds of histories that can be written about them. Holly directs
her attention to early modern works of visual art and their
rhetorical roles in legislating the kind of tales told bout them by
a few classic cultural commentaries of the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries: Burckhardt's synchronic vision of the Italian
Renaissance, Wolfflin's exemplification of the Baroque, Schapiro's
and Freud's dispute over the meanings of Leonardo's art, and
Panofsky's exegesis of the disguised symbolism of Northern
Renaissance painting."
