A logical approach to proof in art history}, AUTHOR={Franck Leprévost, }, JOURNAL={Art and Science}, VOLUME={6}, NUMBER={Issue 4}, YEAR={2022}, URL={https://www.openscience.fr/The-Italian-de-La-Tour-of-Cuzin-A-logical-approach-to-proof-in-art-history-2322}, DOI={10.21494/ISTE.OP.2022.0890}, ISSN={2515-8767}, ABSTRACT={Was the 17th century French artist Georges de La Tour in Italy? Did he paint the canvas entitled Diogenes? In a book published in 2021, the art historian Jean-Pierre Cuzin develops arguments in favor of an affirmative answer to the two statements. We analyze the logic of the arguments and show that they are not persuasive to reach a conclusion.}}
