Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance

Der Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance ist ein interdisziplinäres Forschungsprojekt, das dem zentralen Problemfeld der Renaissance-forschung, der Antikenrezeption, gewidmet ist. Herzstück des Projekts ist die Datenbank, in der die in der Renaissance bekannten antiken Monumente mit den zugehörigen bildlichen und schriftlichen Dokumenten erfasst werden.

Durch Kooperationen mit Forschungsprojekten, die dem Nachleben der Antike in anderen Epochen gewidmet sind, erweitert sich die Datensammlung mittlerweile sowohl um die antiken Denkmäler, die Johann Joachim Winckelmann und seiner Zeit bekannt waren (Corpus Winckelmann), als auch um die Rezeption und Adaption antiker Kunst während des Mittelalters (Corpus Medii Aevi). Aus dem Projekt gehen regelmäßig Publikationen hervor.

 The Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance is an interdisciplinary research project centering on the classical tradition, a focus of Renaissance studies. The core of the project is the database registering antique monuments known in the Renaissance together with the related Renaissance documents in form of texts and images.

The collection of data has been extended by the antique monuments known to Johann Joachim Winckelmann and his contemporaries (Corpus Winckelmann) as well as the reception and adaption of antique art of the Middle Ages (Corpus Medii Aevi) in cooperation with research projects dedicated to the ‘Nachleben’ of Antiquity. The project regularly issues publications.
