"Edgar Wind (1900-1971) was a cosmopolitan scholar who made important contributions to many disciplines, including philosophy, Renaissance art history and modern art criticism. Born in Berlin, Wind started his career in Hamburg as a research assistant in the library of cultural theorist Aby Warburg. During the rise of Nazism, Wind played a decisive role in moving Warburg's collection from Hamburg to London, where it became the core of the Warburg Institute, now part of the University of London. Wind's academic career took him to prestigious institutions across Europe and the United States, culminating in his appointment in 1955 as Oxford's first professor of art history. Wind was also a remarkable public intellectual; his 1960 Reith Lectures on BBC radio are one example of his oratorical brilliance. This book considers a crucial question: to understand the work of an art historian, how important is it to know their life story? In the case of Edgar Wind, biography and scholarly endeavour are intimately connected. His intellectual exchanges with leading art historians, philosophers and artists of his day were essential for his research. Moreover, his wife, Margaret Wind, was determined to establish an Edgar Wind Archive after his death. This book is the first comprehensive study in English of Wind's intellectual achievements"--

"This book recounts the fascinating history of Titian's unfinished portrait, A Lady and her Daughter (possibly his mistress Milia and their daughter), which dates from the early 1550s. After Titian's death in 1576, it was repainted in his studio with a more saleable image of Tobias and the Angel. Often presented as Titian's work but in a style which made the attribution suspect, the painting has had a succession of owners. It belonged to Tsar Nicholas I for a short time, and ultimately to the art dealer René Gimpel, who hid it with other artwork in a warehouse in London during World War II, where it miraculously survived the Blitz. It was not until the mid-20th century that an x-ray examination uncovered the beautiful painting underneath, an undisputed work by the great master himself. The painstaking restoration process, begun in 1983, took 20 years. Notable art historians and conservators have contributed essays that offer an in-depth examination of this exceptional and mysterious painting."--Publisher's description.
