Moshe Barasch Knihy
Moshe Barasch bol prvým izraelským historikom umenia, ktorý dosiahol celosvetové uznanie, pričom prednášal na mnohých inštitúciách v Európe aj v Spojených štátoch. Jeho metodológia úzko nadväzuje na skorú Warburgovu tradíciu, ktorá sa zameriava na vzťahy medzi umeleckými dielami, nie na periodizované dejiny umenia. Barasch sa venoval témam od neskorej antiky, cez stredovek až po renesanciu. Jeho prednášky a knihy, z ktorých mnohé boli napísané v hebrejčine, pomohli rozvinúť terminológiu dejín umenia v tomto jazyku a upozornili na mnohé témy, ktoré neskôr priťahovali humanitných vedcov.
Focusing on the evolution of European art theory, this book spans from Plato to the early eighteenth century, providing a detailed analysis of key trends and ideas. It examines the influences of antiquity, St. Thomas Aquinas, and medieval aesthetics, leading into the diversification of art disciplines during the late Renaissance. By clearly outlining the development of art theory and addressing central issues of each era, it serves as both a valuable resource for art historians and an engaging introduction for general readers.

This book focuses on these historical arguments, from the period of Late Antiquity up to the classic defenses of images by St John of Damascus and Theodore of Studion.
