Abstract

Der deutsch-italienische Band präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer interdisziplinären Tagung in der Villa Vigoni, die sich mit der Konstituierung neuer Diskursformen zur Wahrnehmung und Bewertung der bildenden Kunst im Verlauf des 18. Jahrhunderts befasst hatte. Vor dem Hintergrund einer kulturpolitisch spannungsreichen Antikenrezeption werden, ausgehend von Winckelmanns Umdeutung der Ekphrase zu einem Medium ästhetischer Selbstanalyse, Versprachlichungsprozesse der Kunstbetrachtung untersucht, die sich an dem bis weit ins 19. Jahrhundert gültigen Konstrukt einer zeitlosen griechischen Klassik orientieren. Deren mythologischer, nunmehr unter anthropologischen und ästhetischen Gesichtspunkten neu definierter Kontext gewinnt in der Literatur der Kunstperiode eine Eigendynamik, die sich in großen kulturgeschichtlichen Erzählungen, exemplarischen Novellen wie in sozialutopischen Entwürfen manifestiert. Aus der Deskription und Reflexion von Kunsterfahrung entwickeln sich narrative Formen, in denen das archaische Kunstwerk als Leitbild einer künftigen, weltbürgerlich vereinten Menschheit hervortritt und sich zugleich in seinem für die Moderne charakteristischen autonomen Status des Kunstwerks profiliert.

Abstract

It is the aim of this work to examine the pivotal role of Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768) as a judge of classical sculpture and as a major contributor to German art criticism. John Harry North seeks to identify the key features of his treatment of classical beauty, particularly in his famous descriptions of large-scale classical sculpture. Five case studies are offered to demonstrate the academic classicism that formed the core of his philosophy of art. North aims to establish Winckelm...

Abstract

This volume provides a new perspective on the emergence of the modern study of antiquity, Altertumswissenschaft, in eighteenth-century Germany through an exploration of debates that arose over the work of the art historian Johann Joachim Winckelmann between his death in 1768 and the end of the century. Winckelmann's eloquent articulation of the cultural and aesthetic value of studying the ancient Greeks, his adumbration of a new method for studying ancient artworks, and his provision of a model of cultural-historical development in terms of a succession of period styles, influenced both the public and intra-disciplinary self-image of classics long into the twentieth century. Yet this area of Winckelmann's Nachleben has received relatively little attention compared with the proliferation of studies concerning his importance for late eighteenth-century German art and literature, for historians of sexuality, and his traditional status as a 'founder figure' within the academic disciplines of classical archaeology and the history of art. Harloe restores the figure of Winckelmann to classicists' understanding of the history of their own discipline and uses debates between important figures, such as Christian Gottlob Heyne, Friedrich August Wolf, and Johann Gottfried Herder, to cast fresh light upon the emergence of the modern paradigm of classics as Altertumswissenschaft: the multi-disciplinary, comprehensive, and historicizing study of the ancient world.

Abstract

"This new translation brings to light the early days of scientific archaeology and the unearthing and study of Herculaneum and Pompeii as observed by the erudite and acerbic art historian Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768). His Letter, published in German in 1762, displays his extensive knowledge of geology, ancient literature, and art while offering a scathing critique of the Spanish Bourbon excavations around the Bay of Naples and of the officials involved. He further discusses these topics in his equally controversial Report of 1764. The introduction describes the context in which these texts were written, identifies various politicians, academics, and collectors, and elucidates topics of particular interest to Winckelmann, from artifacts to local customs to the contents of ancient papyri. The illustrations, particularly those from the Bourbon publication--Le Antichità di Ercolano (1757-92)--illuminate how these monuments influenced contemporary perception of the ancient world."--
