The 16th volume of lectures from the Warburg House, Hamburg, brings together contributions covering a spectrum ranging from the different modes of perception of late antique and medieval mosaics in the light of modern reproduction techniques to Las Hilanderas of Diego Velázquez, the afterlife of Théodore Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa and René Magritte's „images peintes“ to new reflections on femininity, the gaze and the „afterlife“ of the Shoah in the work of Boris Lurie. With contributions by Barbara Schellewald, Victor I. Stoichita, Gregor Wedekind, Wolfram Picher, and Katharina Sykora.
