With his Mnemosyne image atlas, Aby Warburg sought to reconstruct the visual memory of European culture from 1924 onwards. The image atlas plates have only survived in the form of photographs.
Plate 22 of the image atlas deals with the theme of ‘The Flight’ and how the motif has lived on and been reinterpreted throughout different eras.
Further plates are available in prometheus in the public image collection ‘Aby Warburg’s Picture Atlas. Network of Images and Relations’ and for everyone outside the image archive, further information is available in the image series from week 39 in 2016.
