Hardly any other 19th century political movement aroused such a
fervid response from artists and publicists as Philhellenism, which
came to full fruition in the course of the Greek struggle for
liberation. The combination of classicistic and romantic ideals
with political, esthetic, and religious motifs gave this movement a
unique dynamism whose influence on art and culture can hardly be
overestimated. This volume assembles the papers presented at an
interdisciplinary symposium organized at the Villa Vigoni in 2006.
They investigate the role of Philhellenism in the esthetic and
cultural evolution of the modern image of Europe. The volume is the
first in a series titled "Classicistic and Romantic Visions of
Art."
