Princeton University Press Michelangelo’s Design Principles, Particularly in Relation to Those of Raphael
The first English translation of Erwin Panofsky's long-lost work on MichelangeloIn 2012, a manuscript by renowned art historian Erwin Panofsky was rediscovered in a safe in Munich, in the basement of the Central Institute for Art History. Hidden for decades among folders and administrative files was Panofsky's thesis on Michelangelo—originally submitted to Hamburg University in March of 1920, abandoned when Panofsky fled Hitler's Germany in 1934, and thought to have been destroyed in the Allied bombings. A century on, Michelangelo's Design Principles makes this remarkable work available for the first time in English.Casting Panofsky's thought in an entirely new light, Michelangelo's Design Principles is the legendary scholar's only book-length examination of the art of the Italian Renaissance. He provides a compelling analysis of Michelangelo's artistic style and deftly compares it with that of Raphael, situating both Renaissance masters in the broader context of Western art. This illuminating book offers unique perspectives on Panofsky's early intellectual development and the state of research on Michelangelo and the High Renaissance at a period of transition in art history, when formalist readings of artworks began to take precedence over a biographical approach.Featuring an introduction by Gerda Panofsky that discusses the history of the manuscript and the significance of its rediscovery, Michelangelo's Design Principles is a crucial link between Panofsky's formalist training as a young art historian and his later work in iconology.

De Gruyter Die Gestaltungsprincipien Michelangelos, besonders in ihrem Verhältnis zu denen Raffaels: Aus dem Nachlass
Die wiederentdeckte Habilitation Erwin Panofskys 1920 reichte Erwin Panofsky, einer der einflussreichsten Kunsthistoriker des 20. Jahrhunderts, in Hamburg seine Habilitationsschrift zu Michelangelo ein. In den folgenden Jahren arbeitete Panofsky stetig an dem Manuskript weiter, doch veröffentlicht wurde es nie. Seit seiner Emigration 1934 galt es als verschollen. Nach seiner Wiederentdeckung im Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in München im Jahr 2012 wurde das Manuskript von Panofskys Witwe, der Kunsthistorikerin Gerda Panofsky, ediert. Die Habilitation Panofskys liegt nun erstmals in gedruckter Fassung vor, ergänzt durch eine Einführung der Herausgeberin und das Faksimile des kompletten, handschriftlich korrigierten und ergänzten Manuskriptes.
