Paperback. In 1935 Erwin Panofsky (1892-1968) was appointed the firstpermanent member of the School of Humanistic Studies (now the Schoolof Historical Studies) at the Institute for Advanced Study inPrinceton. The famous institute was founded by the American educatorAbraham Flexner (1866-1959). This essay contributes to thecontent and context of Panofskys important lecture The History ofArt as a Humanistic Discipline from1938. The publication of thatlecture functioned as a manifesto written by an intellectualemigre in a new American context. It is thanks to Panofskythat the locus classicus of iconography, as Irving Lavin(1927-2019) described the Institute for Advanced Study, received thecompelling arguments for an art history that deserves to be countedamong the humanities. A close reading of the text and an analysis ofits impact can still teach us something about the originsand development of the Art Historical field and Iconological Studiestoday.
