About Heinrich Wölfflin
- Heinrich Wölfflin (German: ['ha?n??ç 'vœlfl?n]; 21 June 1864, Winterthur – 19 July 1945, Zurich) was a Swiss art historian, whose objective classifying principles ("painterly" vs.
- "linear" and the like) were influential in the development of formal analysis in art history in the early 20th century.
- He taught at Basel, Berlin and Munich in the generation that raised German art history to pre-eminence.
- His three great books, still consulted, are Renaissance und Barock (1888), Die Klassische Kunst (1898, "Classic Art"), and Kunstgeschichtliche Grundbegriffe (1915, "Principles of Art History").
