Jean Seznec information


Jean Seznec (19 March 1905, in Morlaix[1] – 22 November 1983, in Oxford) was a historian and mythographer whose most influential book, for English-speaking readers, is La Survivance des dieux antiques (1940), translated as The Survival of the Pagan Gods: Mythological Tradition in Renaissance Humanism and Art (1953). Expanding the scope of work by Warburg Institute scholars Fritz Saxl and Erwin Panofsky, Seznec presented a broad view of the transmission of classical representation in Western art.
