Author Name:

Author Description Heinrich Wölfflin (June 21, 1864 - July 19, 1945) was a Swiss art historian.<br /><br />Wölfflin's objective classifying principles ("painterly" vs. "linear" and the like) were influential in the development of formal analysis in art history in the early 20th century. <br />He taught at Basel, Berlin and Munich in the generation that raised German art history to pre-eminence. <br />His three great books, still consulted, are Renaissance und Barock (1888), Die Klassische Kunst (1898, "Classic Art"), and Kunstgeschichtliche Grundbegriffe (1915, "Principles of Art History").
