| Reverse description | The central vignette presents an arched window of the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, considered an exemplary monument of Renaissance architecture and a cornerstone of Burckhardt's scholarly legacy. Above, a detail from the Pergamon Altar frieze illustrates the Gigantomachy — the battle of giants against the Olympian gods — while the coffered dome of the Pantheon in Rome recedes into the background; a passage from Burckhardt's Weltgeschichtliche Betrachtungen is set as underprint text across the composition. At lower left, a schematic diagram renders Burckhardt's historiographical model, plotting the interrelations of state, religion, and culture across the epochs of Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Age of Revolution against the axes of architecture, sculpture, and painting. |
