See note to chapter 1.

Chapter 3 is "How Some Scholars Deal with the Question." It is mainly about Thierry de Duve's exhibition and book "Look!" and comments he makes regarding a Manet painting. It is important, I think, to consider what it means that a painting like Manet's "Christ with Angels" is "religious": in one sense, it has a religious theme; but in another sense, it is only about religion because it does not behave itself as an image in a liturgical context should behave. The twilight between "religious" and "about religion" is very problematic, but crucial for the sense we may want to make of expressions like "religious art."
