This classic work, the result of nearly fifty years of work by Raymond Klibansky, Erwin Panofsky, and Fritz Saxl, explores the historical evolution of the notion of melancholy and its relationship to Saturn through philosophy, literature, medicine, astrology, and art. Divided into four parts, the book analyzes everything from melancholy in Antiquity and the Middle Ages to its glorification in Florentine Neoplatonism, culminating in a study of Dürer's engraving "Melancholia I." An essential study for those interested in various disciplines.
Erwin Panofsky was a German art historian whose work represents a high point in the modern academic study of iconography, including his hugely influential Renaissance and Renascences in Western Art and his seminal Early Netherlandish Painting.
