• The Warburg Institute
  
  The Warburg Institute is now part of the University of London, named after the Hamburg scholar Aby Warburg whose library was brought to London in 1933.
  The study of the transmission of the classical tradition is one of its main activities, and primarily the history of iconography.
  
  Major scholars in this field were Panofsky (see below) and Edgar Wind (see the example opposite)
