Died: July 19, 1945. Zurich. Swiss art historian. In 1893, he became a professor at the University of Basel as the successor to J. Burckhardt.

In his main work, Kunstgeschichtliche Grundbegriffe (1915) (Fundamental Concepts of Art History), he contrasted the development of styles from the Renaissance to the Baroque in terms of five basic concepts: "linear" and "pictorial", "flat" and "profound", "closed form" and "open form", "multipleness" and "unity", and "absolute clarity" and "relative clarity". His other works include Die klassische Kunst (Classical Art) (1899) and Italien und das Deutsche Form-gefühl (Formal Sentiment in Italy and Germany) (1931).
