This edition is the first Russian translation of Erwin Panofsky's early work Studies in Iconology. It was published in 1939 and played a fundamental role in the formation of the scientist's methodology, set forth by him in the programmatic preface. Here, the author considers specific problems of iconography in their close connection with the ideas of Neoplatonism. The book has long been a textbook for specialists; those who are not indifferent to the Renaissance will find in it interesting and useful information both about the visual arts and about literature, philosophy, and other sciences. The publication contains a detailed reference apparatus and a large number of illustrations.
