Biography

German art historian who considered "masterpieces" to be the only works of art worth studying. His writings include studies on Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Eugène Delacroix, Nicolas Poussin, Jan Vermeer, John Constable, Paul Cézanne, Raphael, Vincent van Gogh, Paolo Veronese, Ernst Barlach, and attacks on the methodology of the "second Vienna school" of art history dominated by Hans Sedlmayr.

Badt was one of the most influential art historians of his time. His work influenced the German art historians Gertrude Berthold, Lorenz Dittmann, Martin Gosebruch, Werner Gross, Josef Adolf Schmoll genannt Eisenwerth and Max Imdahl, and he is frequently quoted by English and American art historians.

Badt committed suicide on 22 November 1973, aged 83, in Überlingen, together with his second wife.
