Through a micro-historical study of a Renaissance concept of restoration, a theoretical framework to ques...

Kunstgeschichte an Polytechnischen Instituten, Technischen Hochschulen und Technischen Universitäten
Der Tagungsband versammelt erstmals Beiträge internationaler AutorInnen zum Thema "Kunstgeschichte an Polytechniken, Technischen Hochschulen und Technischen Universitäten" im deutschen Sprachraum.
