Il quadro, il visibile e la donazione in Jean-Luc Marion

The essay endeavours to make the theme of the work of art interact with some instances of French contemporary phenomenology, and in particular with the work of an author that believes to have characterised this trend in a significant, certainly original way: Jean-Luc Marion. In particular we endeavour to show how the originality of the development that this author believes to have given to phenomenology has to do with, finds a certain reason and maybe an origin in, and surely finds an element of strong, exemplary demonstration in, that event that we should call work of art.
