Reviews
'The essays in the present volume, even though they all focus on a particular case, help the reader to gain a broader insight in the exchange between science and art history... The cumulative insight the reader acquires from this volume is that the approach of art history to the sciences was all but a clear trajectory towards objectivity; it called forth an increasing subjective and sometimes holistic appreciation of visual experience.' Journal of Art Historiography
'Mitchell B. Frank and Daniel Adler have collected eight original essays in German Art History and Scientifi c Thought that convincingly move current historiographical debates 'beyond formalism', as promised in the subtitle...[their] contributions successfully turn formalism into close reading, and they might act as a reminder about how to supplement mere observation with critical interrogation.' Francesco Ventrella, Journal of the Association of Art Historians
