Winckelmann’s History of the Art of Antiquity, 2nd part<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Winckelmann’s rebirthing of antiquity<\/h3>\n

Winckelmann and the revival of antiquity<\/h2>\n

Even during his lifetime Winckelmann revolutionised conceptions of antiquity and the way people studied it. Winckelmann’s passion reignited a yearning for the ancient past that spread beyond the Italian lands. The Victorian aesthetic critic Walter Pater writes of Winckelmann’s work:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Mars and Venus, A. Canova’s response to a commission from the Prince Regent, later George IV (1762\u20131830)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Its purpose was direct, an appeal from the artificial classicism of the day to the study of the antique<\/em>.[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

His most famous and detailed work, History of the Art of Antiquity<\/em> (Geschichte der Kunst des Alterthums<\/em>) prompted a renewed interest in Greek and Roman sculpture. Numerous new editions and translations into French and Italian appeared before the end of the eighteenth century.<\/p>\n

Winckelmann\u2019s influence is also visible in the diffusion of neoclassical art across nations, as exemplified in the paintings of Jacques-Louis David, the sculptures of Antonio Canova, and the architecture of Karl Friedrich Schinkel.<\/p>\n
