Abstract

We propose that Sedlmayr’s schema of four-level interpretation of works of art, in which the eschatological level is incorporated, can usefully be re-purposed as a way of examining his own work. This allows for a better understanding of both his method and the logic that informs his entire canon. Considering the signifcance of «ruins» for Sedlmayr, it seems appropriate to pay particular attention to his text on the preservation of monuments, «Die demolierte Schönheit…» (1965), created in Salzburg, where Sedlmayr spent the last twenty years of his life.
