What exact science tried to dissociate, Jacob Burckhardt (1891-1974) strove to reconcile. The author of The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, The Cicerone and Considerations of Universal History required of the modern viewer what was most difficult, a recollection, an updating of the historical context and the temporal characteristics of art, combined with an uninhibited admiration of the work.
One of the foundations of art history, this approach remains at the heart of current debate.
