Artur Rosenauer gave a very true picture of

Both his famous teachers, Franz Wickhoff and
Alois Riegl, had chosen Dvorak as their successor. In
1905, he was appointed Ex/mcrAE^nEt and general
conservator of Austrian monument protection at the
age of thirty-one and in 1909 OfEAME/cr and head of
the art history department at the Vienna University
at the age of thirty-hver On February 1921, he died
unexpectedly at only less than forty-seven years old,
before being able to complété his ground-breaking
project on the history of European art conceived as
the history of ideas. His revolutionary concept be-
came widely known after his prématuré death, thanks
to the posthumous publication of his collccted works
by his pupils K. M. Swoboda and Johannes WildeE
It was due to that publication that Dvořák was to
become generally acknowledged as the promotér of
a new approach to the history of art that would be
called E/%i^.rrAAA/<? <%A UErAjgřtrAAAA.
