Over dit e-boek

A new translation into modern American English of Goethe's 1805 "Winkelmann und sein Jahrhundert". This edition contains an Afterword by the Translator, a Timeline of Goethe’s Life & Works and a Glossary of Philosophic Terminology used by Goethe. "Winkelmann and His Century," compiled in 1805 by Goethe from letters he had written on Winkelmann, stands as an exploration of art history, Aesthetics and the influence of Johann Joachim Winkelmann, a prominent German art historian, on European art. With sophisticated vacademic rigor, Goethe examines the cultural and intellectual landscape of the 18th century, focusing on the transformative impact of Winkelmann's theories on the understanding and appreciation of art. He delves into the interplay between art, culture, and intellectual discourse, shedding light on the ways in which Winkelmann's ideas shaped artistic movements and informed aesthetic sensibilities.
