This podcast delineates the connections between the art historical methodology of Formalism, as developed by Heinrich Wolfflin, and the concept of Romanticism as being the movement in which the technique of painting changed from “academic” to “modern.”   Until New Art History reintroduced the importance of context, the approach of “art history without names” reigned supreme.  How did the uneasy mix of history and methodology change the history of art? What recent corrections were made to retell the history of art history?
