Henri Zerner was one of the smartest professors in my grad program with a wide range covering Italian Renaissance, French Renaissance, and 19th Century art from Romanticism to Symbolism. He did social art history decades before it emerged and he taught the methodology seminar we all took in our first semester as grad students. Yet this thinker was also a dedicated connoisseur who understood that style and subject matter were interrelated elements in a much larger whole.
