Abstract

Review

The title, "Zum Nachleben Winckelmanns in der ägyptologischen Kunstgeschichte in Deutschland" (On the Afterlife of Winckelmann in Egyptological Art History in Germany), immediately suggests a fascinating and potentially significant investigation. Johann Joachim Winckelmann's foundational role in classical archaeology and art history is undisputed, yet his specific "afterlife" or reception within the distinct discipline of Egyptological art history, particularly within a German context, presents a rich field for inquiry. Such a study could illuminate the complex interplay between classical ideals and the interpretation of ancient Egyptian art, tracing how Winckelmann's aesthetic principles, scholarly methodologies, or even his broader influence on art historical thought permeated, shaped, or were resisted by scholars specializing in ancient Egypt. The German focus further narrows the scope, promising a detailed exploration of a specific intellectual tradition. However, a comprehensive and meaningful review is severely hampered by the absence of an abstract. The abstract is critical for understanding the precise scope, methodology, key arguments, and main conclusions of the paper. Without it, one can only speculate on the specific aspects of Winckelmann's legacy the author addresses – whether it's his theories on beauty, his historical periodization, his influence on collection practices, or perhaps a critical reassessment of his Eurocentric perspectives through an Egyptological lens. We lack information on the primary sources consulted, the theoretical framework employed, or the specific examples of German Egyptological scholarship analyzed, all of which are essential for assessing the article's originality, rigor, and potential contribution to the field. In conclusion, while the title alone points to a highly relevant and intriguing topic within the history of art history and Egyptology, the lack of an abstract makes it impossible to provide an actual review of the paper's content, quality, or impact. A proper assessment would require insight into the author's specific research questions, the depth of their analysis, and the novelty of their findings regarding Winckelmann's "afterlife" in this particular scholarly domain. The potential for such an article to enrich our understanding of disciplinary formation and intellectual heritage remains high, but its actual execution cannot be judged.
