The first English translation of Erwin Panofsky's long-lost work on
Michelangelo In 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.
