Answered by ExamLex AI

Winckelmann's influence on art was significant and far-reaching. He is often considered the father of art history and his writings on ancient Greek and Roman art had a profound impact on the Neoclassical movement in the 18th and 19th centuries. Winckelmann's emphasis on the beauty and harmony of classical art, as well as his detailed descriptions and analysis of ancient sculptures and architecture, inspired artists and architects to emulate the style and principles of classical antiquity. His ideas also played a key role in the development of art criticism and the study of art history as a scholarly discipline. Overall, Winckelmann's influence helped to shape the aesthetic and intellectual foundations of Western art for centuries to come.
