Günther Heinz (1927-1992) was curator of paintings at the Kunsthistorisches Museum and Professor of Art History at the University of Vienna. His work on Baroque art in Italy, the Netherlands and Austria is of fundamental importance and very much in the tradition of the Vienna school.

This selection of Professor Heinz's studies begins with four papers on art-historical theory and method. There "follow studies on Rubens, Caro Dolci and Frans Floris, and on Mannerism in Italy and the Netherlands. Professor Heinz returns to Austria with papers on art at the court of the Emperor Joseph II and in the age of Haydn, on Italian painters in the service of Prince Eugene, and a general survey of the development of portrait painting in the Empire. The volume concludes with studies on Bernardo Bellotto, the role played by the Jesuits in the history of art, and the development of the theme of Arcadia.

There is an introduction by Dr Karl Schütz, and an "editorial postscript by Dr Brigitte Borchhardt-Birbaumer.
