Summary

Heinrich Wolfflin: Classical Art. Introduction to the Italian Renaissance

This classic book on classical art, which our public is getting in translation with a delay, at one time, in the very beginnings of this science, marked an extraordinary attempt to define a method in a narrow field: not on the plane of aesthetics as a general theory of art, but a special theory of fine arts. Heinrich Wölfflin applied his views to a relatively narrow area: to a period of 30 or 40 years of the Italian Renaissance, and only to the Florentine school. Practically, he analyzed and defined classical art on the works of five artists. This gave him a certain advantage in the sharpness of his grasp of the phenomenon, but at the same time he necessarily limited it. With this book, the history of art received an exemplary treatment of one of its most important stylistic categories, classical art, which is naturally treated here as a historical phenomenon, i.e. within the specific framework of the development of a specific cultural circle (the Italian Renaissance), but that is precisely why this treatment has become not only an example, but also a methodological instrument for treating classical periods in other lines of development, i.e. classics as a theoretical concept.

This book by Wölffin should therefore be viewed as the first and most important step not only in determination, but also in the "deconstruction" of the concept of renaissance. Classical art, for Wölfflin, is "the golden age of the Renaissance, and in that we feel its limits." His sensitivity to "artistically beautiful" is unmistakable, so that he did not fix any aesthetic parameter in terms of value assessment when defining the concept of classical art. He searched for the internal regularities of style, and he did it in this book with a sovereign knowledge of the matter and ease of expression that amaze us even today.

We tried to compensate for the lateness of this classic work of world historical art literature by expanding the illustrative material. He is still in a strictly functional relationship with the text.
