Census: Corpus Winckelmann

The census collection of data—see above—has been extended by the antique monuments known to Johann Joachim Winckelmann and his contemporaries. The Corpus Winckelmann compiles the knowledge of antique works of art in the seventeenth and eighteenth century in both visual and written documentation, focusing on the writings of Winckelmann, the founder of classical archaeology and modern art history. Alongside approximately 9,500 quotations from Winckelmann, the database provides about 5,000 further document entries from the seventeenth and eighteenth century, which contain a total of about 2,700 monuments.
