Rudolf Wittkower

Rudolf Wittkower (Berlino, 22 giugno 1901 – New York, 11 ottobre 1971) è stato uno storico dell'architettura, storico dell'arte e saggista tedesco.

Biografia

Suo padre Henry era un britannico che viveva in Germania. Rudolf Wittkower frequentò per un anno i corsi di architettura a Berlino, poi decise di studiare storia dell'arte a Monaco con Heinrich Wölfflin. Ma il rapporto con Wölfflin si guastò e Wittkower tornò a Berlino per studiare presso Adolph Goldschmidt. Si laureò con una tesi su Domenico Morone e la pittura veronese del Quattrocento.

A Londra s'impiegò presso il Warburg Institute, centro di ricerca specializzato nello studio dell'influenza dell'antichità classica sulla civiltà occidentale europea. Nel 1949 pubblicò Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism, considerato il suo capolavoro.

Wittkower si dedicò anche all'insegnamento: dal 1949 al 1956 fu docente presso la University of London e, successivamente, per tredici anni, fino al 1969, alla Columbia University di New York.[1]

Il 4 maggio 1971 divenne Socio dell'Accademia delle Scienze di Torino.[2] Morì a New York due anni dopo.
