Johann Joachim Winckelmann was a German art historian and archaeologist who first articulated the differences between Greek, Greco-Roman, and Roman art, and is considered the father of the discipline of art history. His writings had a decisive influence on the rise of the Neoclassical movement during the late 18th century. Winckelmann's work, including his seminal book 'History of Ancient Art', has had a lasting impact on Western painting, sculpture, literature, and philosophy.
