This chapter examines the qualifications of Johann Hermann von Reidesel as a pupil for Winckelmann and the type of training he underwent. It attempts to determine whether Riedesel's published work and other statements on art indicate the complete realization of Winckelmann's plans for an aesthetic education. It also examines the five main sources of information on Riedesel's approach to art: Briefe, Sendschreiben eines Liebhabers, Sizilien, Levante, and the Scottish letters.Less
