Professor Jeffrey Collins contributed to the volume Winckelmann et l’oeuvre d’art. Matériaux et types (Winckelmann and the Work of Art: Materials and Genres), edited by Cécile Colonna and Daniela Gallo and published by the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art in Paris. His chapter, “Winckelmann et la peinture: construire le sens d’un art disparu” (Winckelmann and Painting: Making Sense of a Lost Art), traced the eighteenth-century Prussian scholar’s changing approach to understanding and evaluating ancient painting in the face of slender survival, uncertain dating, and a potential disjuncture between his growing taste for Roman-era decorative frescoes and the dictates of an aesthetic theory predicated on white marble sculpture then understood to be Greek.
