This volume deals with the question: how did scholars and artists in the early modern period represent, or rather, recreate (Greek and Roman) history? It appears that ancient history was not just studied so as to reconstruct the past, it was used as a way of understanding and legitimizing the present. Sixteen authors from various disciplines have studied the works of scholars and artists in different media so as to reveal how they used ancient history as a rich field of raw material, that could be used, recycled and adapted to new needs and purposes. The studies in this volume are important for historians of the early modern period from all disciplines, and for all those interested in the reception of classical antiquity. Contributors include: Maria Berbera, Jan Bloemendal, Anton Boschloo, Jeanine De Landtsheer, Jan L. de Jong, Karl Enenkel, Marc Laureys, Olga van Marion, Alicia Montoya, Mark Morford, Bettina Noak, Sjaak Onderdelinden, Paul Smith, Wilfried Stroh, Francesca Terrenato, Arnoud Visser, and Bart Westerweel.

Diego Velázquez' Gemälde Hilanderas / Spinnerinnen, das noch zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts als "ältestes Arbeiter- oder Fabrikstück" galt, gehört zu den großen Rätselbildern der Kunstgeschichte. Erst 1927 erkannte Aby Warburg in der Hintergrundszene den Wettstreit zwischen Pallas und Arachne und interpretierte das Bild als "Allegorie der Webekunst". Diese spektakuläre Entdeckung wurde als Eintrag vom 18. Juli 1927 im Tagebuch der Kulturwissenschaftlichen Bibliothek Warburg erst nach dessen Publikation 2001 bekannt. Unter welchen Umständen ist Warburg, der sich nie intensiv mit Velázquez auseinandergesetzt hatte, zu dieser Deutung gelangt? Und wie konnte sie indirekt doch die wissenschaftliche Diskussion befruchten? Anhand erstmals systematisch ausgewerteter Quellen erfolgt die Rekonstruktion von "Velasquez-Gesprächen", die Warburg und sein Mitarbeiter Fritz Saxl zur Neuinterpretation des Gemäldes geführt haben. Deren Genese erweist sich als Schulbeispiel für das innovative methodische Vorgehen der beiden Gelehrten. In 1927, Aby Warburg and Fritz Saxl successfully interpreted Velázquez’s Hilanderas, one of the great mysteries of art history, as an “allegory of the art of weaving,” by recognizing in the background scene the depiction of the contest between Athena and Arachne. Their dialogue produced a microhistorical contribution to research on the legacy of antiquity, a key focus of the Warburg Library of Cultural Studies.
