Heinrich Wölfflin (1864 - 1945) was one of the most influential art historians in the world. He was the first to formulate the basic concepts, techniques and tasks of fine art in general and Western Europe in particular.
The book "Basic Concepts of Art History" is the main work of the author, to which he devoted half of his life. On the example of works of the Renaissance and Baroque style Heinrich Wölfflin showed the image of the art of the new time. From Gobbema to Röisdal, from Botticelli to Credy, from Michelangelo to Rembrandt and Rubens - it was the classical masters and their immortal creations that, in his opinion, gave rise to the birth of modern art. His work has been translated into foreign languages many times. And the "analytical method" he developed is still widely used to train art historians from all over the world. What is linearity and pictoriality? How to distinguish between depth and flatness? Is it possible to achieve absolute or relative clarity? Heinrich Wölfflin answers these and other questions in Basic Concepts of Art History, drawing on masterpieces such as Botticelli's "Springtime", Da Vinci's "Last Supper", Vermeer's "Delft View", Rembrandt's "Night Watch" and a whole range of great paintings.
