Altertumskundliches Wissen in Weimar

This study reveals the profound impact of archaeological knowledge, particularly after Winckelmann's death, on German classicism and romanticism. Using Classical Weimar as a case study, it demonstrates how rapidly disseminating antiquarian knowledge shaped the perception of the ancient world during the Age of Goethe. The research approach involves analyzing the influence of archaeological discoveries and their integration into literary and artistic expressions, providing new insights into the cultural development of the period.
