Renaissance and Renascences in Western Art spans the period from the 10th to the 15th century, including discussion of the Carolingian renaissance and the 12th century proto-renaissance. Erwin Panofsky posits that there were "reanscences" prior to the widely known Renaissance that began in Italy in the 14th century. Whereas earlier renascences can be classified as revivals, the Renaissance was a unique instance that led to a wider cultural transformation.

Through the skill and immense knowledge of Erwin Panofsky, the reader is dazzled not only by Durer the artist but also Durer in a wide array of other roles, including mathematician and scientific thinker.

1920 reichte Erwin Panofsky, einer der einflussreichsten Kunsthistoriker des 20. Jahrhunderts, in Hamburg seine Habilitationsschrift zu Michelangelo ein. In den folgenden Jahren arbeitete Panofsky stetig an dem Manuskript weiter, doch veroffentlicht wurde es nie. Seit seiner Emigration 1934 galt es als verschollen. Nach seiner Wiederentdeckung im Zentralinstitut fur Kunstgeschichte in Munchen im Jahr 2012 wurde das Manuskript von Panofskys Witwe, der Kunsthistorikerin Gerda Panofsky, ediert.
