Carl Friedrich von Rumohr, self-described as a “practical aesthetician,” was recognized by contemporaries like Schelling, Hegel, Friedrich Schlegel, and Wilhelm von Humboldt as a groundbreaking art critic. His innovative method of utilizing archival studies for source-based analyses earned him respect among peers such as Waagen, Schorn, Förster, and Gaye. However, Rumohr's authority in disciplinary matters is just one aspect of his multifaceted talents. He developed cultural models, created gastronomic concepts, and engaged in literary life as a travel writer, novella theorist, translator, and novelist. His diverse contributions to cultural history remain largely unexplored. This reprint edition makes Rumohr's complete works accessible for the first time, beginning with an overview of his oeuvre and a bio-bibliography. It also includes his often elusive journal contributions, where he influenced public opinion in various literary and art publications. Additionally, the reprint of auction catalogs from his dispersed art and book collections highlights the wide range of interests of this connoisseur and supporter of German-Roman artists, including F. Overbeck, F. Nerly, and F. Horny.
