| Popis | In a short book published in 1933, Professor Kurt Weitzmann made his only venture into the field of Armenian art. This chronicle argues that this interest was motivated not only by the author’s interest in and knowledge of the art of illuminated manuscripts, but also by direct life circumstances. Weitzmann’s study must be understood as a scholarly and humanistic reaction against the studies of the Austrian professor Josef Strzygowski (1862–1941). Rereading Die armenische Buchmalerei reveals that, in the 1930s, Weitzmann not only shed a new light on the visual culture of Armenia in its relationship with Byzantium and the Mediterranean, but he also promoted a movement beyond the search for national origins toward an international Hellenistic Mediterranean. |
