Moshe Barasch Books
Moshe Barasch was the first Israeli art historian to achieve worldwide recognition, lecturing widely at institutions in Europe and the United States. His methodology closely follows the early Warburg tradition, focusing on the relationships between artworks rather than periodized art history. Barasch explored themes ranging from late antiquity, through the Middle Ages, to the Renaissance. His lectures and books, many written in Hebrew, helped develop the field's terminology in that language and highlighted many subjects that would later attract scholars in the humanities.
