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...

Es ist hinlänglich bekannt, dass die Antike für die Literatur und Kunst der Goethezeit eine modellbildende Funktion besaß. Am Beispiel des ,klassischen' Weimar zeigt der vorliegende Band, welch immensen Einfluss in diesem Zusammenhang das altertumskundliche Wissen gehabt hat. Die Studie ist dreigeteilt: Einem einleitenden Essay, der die in den 1770er Jahren einsetzende Transformation der Altertumskunde von einer vornehmlich antiquarisch-philologischen Disziplin hin zu einer positivistisch-historischen Wissenschaft nachzeichnet, folgt ein ausführlich kommentierter Katalog der wichtigsten altertumskundlichen Schriften der Zeit und ihrer Rezeption im Weimarer Kreis. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei der zwischen 1808 und 1825 von den Weimarischen Kunstfreunden besorgten Ausgabe der Werke J. J. Winckelmanns. Das sich unablässig erweiternde Spektrum der damals bekannten antiken Kunstwerke veranschaulicht eine von Carl Ludwig Fernow in den Jahren 1803/04 an der Universität Jena gehaltene Vorlesung Von den vorzüglichsten aus dem Alterthume übrig gebliebenen Statuen, die hier erstmals im Druck vorliegt. Die Antike, so macht der Band deutlich, ist in der Zeit um 1800 kein statisches, sondern ein durch und durch dynamisches Konzept, auf dessen Veränderungen Kunst und Kultur überaus sensibel reagieren.

"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."--
