Nancy’s intuition is that the portrait is the archetypical status of every painting, that is, of an incarnation accompanied by an announcement. This article aims to clarify the a-theology of the incarnation that Nancy employs to explain the art of painting, by employing the theological aesthetic of incarnation developed by von Balthasar. To achieve that aim, the article intersects the book of collected essays, The Ground of the Image by Nancy, with the first volume of Balthasar’s theological aesthetics, The Glory of the Lord.
