Panofsky's historical technique reveals an abundance of detail, detail he skillfully relates to the life and work of individual painters and their times.The papers in this volume represent a crosssection of Panofsky's major work. Included are selections from his wellknown Studies in Iconology and The Life and Art of Albrecht Drer, plus an introduction and an epilogue'The History of Art as a Humanistic Discipline' and 'Three Decades of Art History in the United States: Impressions of a Transplanted European'as well as pieces written especially for this collection.
