An entertaining ramble. Could use a bit more proofing. One change you'll need to make: 2nd paragraph, second line, "only" should be "any of," it seems.
Is Salazar the Portuguese scholar who made the Frei Carlos attribution? I wonder if it's the same Salazar who did valuable archival research on Ribera.
I liked "centering of the periphery."
I agree that art historians were more adventurous before today's scrupulosity set in. They were unabashedly opinionated & sometimes even shocking in their declarations on art.
Longhi, Berenson & Gombrich come to mind, but I've read others.
I don't know where you find time to do all this but I'm happy you do because you are fun to read.
