By Erwin Panofsky.

DISCUSSION: First published in 1964, this title remains a classic. The

ancient Egypt, Greece & Rome, the early Christian period to the Middle
Ages, and the Renaissance.

Erwin Panofsky [1892–1968] was a German art historian whose academic
career was pursued mostly in the U.S. after he fled Germany’s Nazi regime.
“Panofsky's work remains highly influential in the modern academic study
of iconography. Panofsky was a member of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences, the British Academy and a number of other national academies. In
1962 he received the Haskins Medal of The Medieval Academy of America.”
