This work aimed to investigate the place and the role of the image in the writings of Michel Foucault, evaluating its use not only as a narrative tool but also as part of his methodology of which the painting would be a component. Besides that, it aimed at investigating a possible constitution of an aesthetic in his work. Initially this thesis contextualizes the inclusion of Michel Foucault in the tradition of historiography and criticism of the western arts. Then, after a brief overview of the position and function of image in work of Foucault (with a descriptive of his writings, favoring the presence of painting), follows the reading of two of his texts throught the perspective of his methodological carrrer: the dimension of knowing with reading de La peinture de Manet, text pronounced as a conference between the years 1967 e 1971, in which Foucault performs an analisys of thirteen Manet's paintings; and the dimension of genealogy with the reading of The photogenic painting in the year 1975, text in which Foucault evaluate several photogenic paints from the french artist Gérard Fromanger. The question of image is in combination with some basic concepts and key to the demonstration of its importance in the Michel Foucault's work, as the issues of device of political resistance and the aesthetic of existence. Moreover the reading's division in this research of the texts by Foucault, under the focus of his archegenealogy considere the three domains of work traversed by the philosopher along his carreer knowlodge, power and ethics in addition to valorize the general Foucault's project of a historical-philosophical investigation of relations between subject and truth positioned from the perspective of a present ontology. The present ontology, or historical ontology, considers the critical work which the philosophy should undertake nowadays gathering the archaelogy of knowlodge or the speeches which made the man as an object and subject of knowlodge, like the power of genealogy as production of knowlodges and the practices of power which interfere on the subject and the ethics actioned by him in his self-constitution. Considering this, the problem of modernity, frequently elaborated by Foucault in his historical investigations, it's also based on the understanding of the philosopher about what constitute the artistic creation and his participation in the games and political struggles
