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.

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.

Johann Joachim Winckelmann (1717-1768) has long been recognized as one of the founders of modern art history and a major force in the development of archaeology and the study of ancient Greek architecture. He also exerted an influence on the Weimar Classicism of Goethe and Schiller, for whom his description of Greek sculpture as evoking "edle Einfalt und stille Grösse" (noble simplicity and a calm greatness) became a watchword. He contributed to modern scientific archaeology through his application of empirically derived categories of style to the analysis of classical works of art and architecture, and was one of the first to undertake detailed empirical examinations of artefacts and describe them precisely in a way that enabled reasoned conclusions to be drawn about ancient societies and their cultures. Yet several of his important essays are not available in modern English translation. The present volume remedies this situation by collecting four of Winckelmann's most seminal essays on art along with several shorter pieces on the topic, two major if brief essays on architecture, and one longer essay on archaeology. Paired with this is an introduction covering Winckelmann's life and work. David Carter is retired as Professor of Communicative English at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, and is former Lecturer in German Studies at the University of Southampton, UK. Among his recently published translations from German are Klaus Mann's novel Alexander (2008) and On Cocaine (2011), a collection of Sigmund Freud's writings on the topic.
