Census of the Reception of Antique Art and Architecture

The Census of the Reception of Antique Art and Architecture is an interdisciplinary research infrastructure dedicated to the study of the reception of antiquity particularly in the Early Modern period. It was founded in 1946 and has since developed continuously as a collaboration of the Warburg Institute, New York University, the Getty Research Institute, the Bibliotheca Hertziana, and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

Now the Census is a collaboration of the Institut für Kunst- und Bildgeschichte at the Humboldt-Universität and the Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History. It provides an open-access research database connecting antique monuments (sculpture, architecture, gems, inscriptions, coins, and other works) and the early modern visual and textual sources that reference them.
