Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the theory of art that subsidizes Michel Foucault's work and we analyze some aesthetic and historical aspects of anatomical disproportions in European painting. From the essay The words and images of Michel Foucault, it is possible to visualize the analytical method of Erwin Panofsky. The influence of the art historian on the French philosopher is evident in the phase of ‘iconological interpretation’ proposed by Panofsky, in which the cultural symptomatology finds its notorious place. This symptomatology is searched in the analysis we conducted on three European artists: Peter Paul Rubens, Sandro Botticelli and Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres.
