Der Teufel und die Hölle by Alfred Köppen
QR code
"Der Teufel und die Hölle" by Alfred Köppen is an inaugural dissertation written in the late 19th century. This scholarly work explores the representations of the Devil and Hell in the history of visual arts, tracing their development from early Christian times up to the age of Dante and Giotto. Köppen examines the deep connection between these two figures, discussing how they have influenced artistic expression across various epochs and cultures. The
opening portion of the dissertation introduces the intertwined nature of the concepts of the Devil and Hell, describing them as fundamental elements of Christian theology and iconography. Köppen highlights the historical context of these representations, noting the scarcity of focused artistic studies on the subject compared to literature and theology. He outlines his approach, stating his intention to systematically analyze artistic depictions of these motifs throughout history, while emphasizing their relevance in understanding the broader cultural and religious beliefs of the eras in question. The author sets the stage for a thorough exploration of narrative representations, starting with a discussion of earlier theological interpretations before delving into specific artistic examples.
