Max Dvořák is one of the most prominent representatives of European art history at the beginning of the 20th century. His lecture course on Italian Renaissance art, delivered at the University of Vienna from 1918 to 1921, rightfully belongs to the classics dedicated to the Renaissance era. This edition includes all the researcher's lectures on Italian masters of the 16th century Renaissance. Dvořák's book is not just a traditional overview of the works of significant artists for world culture such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Correggio, and Titian; it is also an in-depth analysis of the High Renaissance era, the emergence of Baroque art, and weighty theoretical generalizations that laid the foundation for modern art studies. Dvořák's method involves considering art as a history of ideas, identifying connections between artistic works and the 'spirit of the age' (Zeitgeist) - a set of dominant ethical, aesthetic, and religious models in society. Dvořák's lecture course was intended for a student audience, so it can serve as a guide to the most vibrant period in art history for any reader. This edition is accompanied by comments from the translator and art historian Igor Babanov. 2nd corrected edition.
