The History of Art
GA 292

The slides were not included with this typescript version, but we found these images and have added them to the text.
These are the last four lectures from the lecture series entitled, The History of Art as an Image of an Inner Spiritual Impulse, published in German as, Kunstgeschichte Als Abbild Innerer Geistiger Impuls.
