• Resumen

  • The first Italian translation of Josef Strzygowski's inaugural address at the University of Vienna in 1909 is accompained by a commentary aimed at elucidating its internal references to scholars and cultural figures, providing a brief contextual framework for each. In particular, the main objective is to highlight the tranformation process in the methods of the study of art history within the Vienna School, transitioning from the early historical-philological method to one an approach that includes, with the figures of Wickhoff, Riegl, and Strzygowski himself, an openness to related disciplines and broader research areas: from the psychology of vision to anthropological geography and to comparative linguistics. The essay does not address the final phase of Strzygowski's bibliography, which some critics, especially those working in the Anglo-Saxon sphere, attribute to an ideological deviation by often interpreted as being complicit with racism and National Socialism.
