Art history question

[Simon Beattie]

Dear Collective Wisdom,

 

I have just been reading about the 18th-century German scholar Johann
Alexander Döderlein who, according to Wikipedia
(http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Alexander_D%C3%B6derlein), wrote the
first book about a Russian work of art (an icon in a church in Bavaria), in
1724.  Here is another link, which repeats the assumption: 

 

http://www.icon-art.info/book_contents.php?lng=ru
<http://www.icon-art.info/book_contents.php?lng=ru&book_id=76> &book_id=76

 

I wondered whether anyone on the list, perhaps the ikonovedy or art
historians amongst you, could confirm this, or otherwise.

 

Many thanks.

 

Best wishes,

 

Simon Beattie
