Sammler, Kenner, Kunstschriftsteller
Die „Geschichte der neueren deutschen Kunst“ von Athanasius Graf Raczynski (1788–1874) ist das erste Überblickswerk zur deutschen Kunst im 19. Jahrhundert. Sie steht am Beginn der historisch-kritischen Kunstgeschichtsschreibung und bewegt sich in vielfacher Hinsicht zwischen Tradition und Moderne. In der Herangehensweise an ihren Gegenstand, ihrer gleichzeitigen Publikation in deutscher und französischer Sprache sowie ihrer Aufbereitung ist sie innerhalb der Geschichte der Kunstgeschichte einzigartig. Dies trifft auch auf den Autor des opulent gestalteten Werkes zu. Der aus dem Großpolnischen stammende Diplomat in preußischen Diensten Athanasius Graf Raczynski war gleichzeitig Samm...

The Lost Michelangelos
Translated by Lucinda Byatt This book tells the remarkable story of a rare discovery: the uncovering of two lost paintings by the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo. Like many stories of artistic loss, this one begins in a library in Italy, where Antonio Forcellino - a distinguished Michelangelo scholar and restorer - stumbled across some unpublished letters among the papers of Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga, son of Isabella d’Este and an extremely important figure in the Italian Renaissance.

Visconti and the German Dream
Luchino Visconti's trilogy of films Ludwig, Death in Venice and The Damned explore the complex relationship between the themes and ideals of German Romanticism and their impact on the catastrophe of the Third Reich. The personality and works of Richard Wagner to a large extent epitomize German Romanticism as a whole, while the writings of Thomas Mann and Friedrich Nietzsche provide the greatest critique of this dark and troubled but sublime and emotionally overwhelming culture. Along with contrasting approaches to this subject by other filmmakers such as Hans-Jurgen Syberberg, Ken Russell and Tony Palmer, this book explores how the preoccupations of the German Romantic movement led to Nazism, and contrasts the ways in which filmmakers have presented this continuum. The book also discusses the impact of Wagner's musical dramas on the art form of the cinema itself.
