David Freedberg is best known for his work on psychological responses to art, and particularly for his studies on iconoclasm and censorship (see, inter alia, Iconoclasts and their Motives, 1984, and The Power of Images: Studies in the History and Theory of Response, 1989). His more traditional art historical writing originally centered on Dutch and Flemish art. Within these fields he specialized in the history of Dutch printmaking (see Dutch Landscape Prints of the Seventeenth Century (1980)),and in the paintings and drawings of Bruegel and Rubens (see, for example, The Prints of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1989) and Rubens: The Life of Christ after the Passion (1984)). He then turned his attention to seventeenth century Roman art and to the paintings of Nicolas Poussin, before moving on to his recent work in the history of science and on the importance of the new cognitive neurosciences for the study of art and its history. Freedberg has also been involved in several exhibitions of contemporary art (eg. Joseph Kosuth: The Play of the Unmentionable (1992)). Following a series of important discoveries in Windsor Castle, the Institut de France and the archives of the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome, he has for long been concerned with the intersection of art and science in the age of Galileo. While much of his work in this area has been published in articles and catalogues, his chief publication in this area is The Eye of the Lynx: Galileo, his Friends, and the Beginnings of Modern Natural History (2002).
Although Freedberg continues to teach in the fields of Dutch, Flemish, French, and Italian seventeenth century art, as well as in historiographical and theoretical areas, his primary research now concentrates on the relations between art, history, and cognitive neuroscience. Taking up the psychological dimensions of the work outlined in The Power of Images, he has for some time been engaged in research and experiments on the relations between vision, embodiment, movement and emotion.
While collaborating with neuroscientists, he retains his commitment to the anthropological core of art history and continues to hope that one day he will return to his longstanding project on the cultural history of the architecture and dance of the Pueblo peoples (see also Las máscaras de Aby Warburg (2013)).
For the last seven years, Freedberg has led the campaign to save Liberty Hall in Machiasport, Maine, a major historical building overlooking the site of the first sea battle of the American Revolution.
Much of Freedberg's time is now taken up by his directorship of the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America. Long committed to cross-disciplinary work in the sciences, anthropology and the arts, he established the Academy’s Art and Neuroscience (later Neuroscience and Humanities) project in 2001. The aim of the project – and of its successful biannual conferences on cutting-edge topics relevant to the understanding of art, music, vision and emotion – has been not to mix fields, but to encourage critical thinking about the methodological and epistemological paradigms underlying each domain. His own work has concentrated on issues of empathy, embodiment and motor responses.
Freedberg is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the American Philosophical Society, as well as of the Accademia Nazionale di Agricultura and the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere e Arti.

Potęga wizerunków. Studia z historii i teorii oddziaływania David Freedberg
8,0
Trudna książka z pogranicza historii sztuki, antropologii oraz psychologii. Autor skupia się na różnych aspektach wizerunków, a także - bardziej nawet - na ich oddziaływaniu. Pochwalić należy bardzo szeroki zakres przebadanego materiału. Zakres tak geograficzny i tematyczny jak i chronologiczny. Pracy tej z pewnością nie czyta się łatwo, niemniej z pewnością czytelnik doceni jej wysoki poziom merytoryczny, zwrócenie uwagi na bardzo istotne kwestie dotyczące naszego postrzegania wizerunków w ujęciu historycznym. Do tego bardzo duży korpus ilustracyjny. Książka zdecydowanie in plus, choć znalazło się w niej kilka nieścisłości natury historycznej. Przeszkadzało mi też nieco nadmierne psychologizowanie, choć na dobrą sprawę nie powinno ono specjalnie dziwić w pracy częściowo przynajmniej poświęconej właśnie psychologii. Mnie osobiście najbardziej interesowała jej warstwa historycznosztuczna i w tym względzie się nie zawiodłem.
