“The Warburg Institute - founded by Aby Warburg in Hamburg at the end of the nineteenth century and exiled from Germany in 1933 - is the premier institute in the world for the study of cultural history and the role of images in culture. Initially concerned with the survival of classical antiquity in Renaissance art, its range swiftly expanded. It is dedicated to the history of ideas, the dissemination and transformations of images in society, and the relationship between images, art and their texts and subtexts, of all epochs and across the globe.” (http://warburg.sas.ac.uk/home/about-the-institute/)
