«Renacimiento y renacimientos en el arte occidental» is Erwin Panofsky's essay on art history, published by Alianza in paperback (338 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together the series of lectures Panofsky gave in 1952, in which he investigates the iconographic connections between Antiquity, the Christian Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Against the mere continuity of pagan themes in the medieval period, he argues that only the renaissance that began in Italy in the fourteenth century constituted a genuine cultural mutation, with a decisive imprint on Western art.
Work by the art historian Erwin Panofsky (1892-1968), originally published in 1975. The volume belongs to the Alianza Universidad collection and is presented in paperback.
Recommended for readers with an interest in art history, iconography and Renaissance theory, as well as for those wishing to delve deeper into Panofsky's thought.
Erwin Panofsky was a German art historian whose work represents a high point in the modern academic study of iconography, including his hugely influential Renaissance and Renascences in Western Art and his seminal Early Netherlandish Painting.
