Antiquity Unleashed

- Aby Warburg, Durer and Mantegna

Om Antiquity Unleashed

The Hamburg bankers son Aby Warburg (18661929) was one of the most influential art historians and cultural theorists of the 20th century. His lifes work was devoted to tracing antique formulas of representation in the depiction of human passions in Renaissance art. For this epoch-spanning relationship, he developed the term pathos formula (Pathosformel). In a lecture given in 1905 in the Konzerthaus in Hamburg, focusing on the young Albrecht Drers Death of Orpheus, Warburg outlined his thoughts in front of the original drawing, which he had borrowed from the rich holdings of the Kunsthalle in order to better illustrate his idea. This drawing, pivotal in the young artists development as an ambitious response to classical antiquity, was displayed during the lecture alongside a group of engravings and woodcuts which included not only some of Drers own seminal later prints, such as Melencolia I, but also engravings by Andrea Mantegna which Drer copied in 1494, the same year he drew the Death of Orpheus.Warburgs pop-up exhibition of eleven works has here been reconstructed and analyzed, using his fascinating lecture notes, sketches and slide lists. First developed by the Hamburger Kunsthalle in 2011, subsequently on view in Cologne in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum and now at The Courtauld Gallery, each institution has interpreted the material slightly differently, while retaining the core Warburg group.Aby Warburg aimed at unlocking the meaning of an art work by excavating its roots in its cultural context.
