== Biografia ==

 

 

Winckelmann nunca aprendeu a falar italiano corretamente. Vivia simplesmente, alimentando-se de pão e vinho, mas o seu ascetismo e a sua solidão eram potenciados pela sua [[homossexualidade]]. Aos 45 anos de idade, em Roma, apaixonou-se pelo jovem nobre Friedrich von Berg, e escreveu ''Abhandlung von der Fähigkeit der Empfindung des Schönen'' (1763). Quando Berg viajou para Paris, Winckelmann, destroçado, escreveu: "O espírito da nossa amizade vai seguir-te longamente até Paris, e aí, na cidade da luxúria preguiçosa, vai abandonar-te, mas aqui a tua imagem permanecerá santa para mim''." <ref>{{((en))}} [http://www.androphile.org/preview/Library/Biographies/Winckelmann/Winckelmann.html Biografia de Johann Joachim Winckelmann em ''The World History of Male Love'',] "''As it is confessedly the beauty of man which is to be conceived under one general idea, so I have noticed that those who are observant of beauty only in women, and are moved little or not at all by the beauty of men, seldom have an impartial, vital, inborn instinct for beauty in art," he wrote in the essay. "To such persons the beauty of Greek art will ever seem wanting, because its supreme beauty is rather male than female." Winckelman did not think that women could be fascinated by sculptures presenting naked young males. In his art theory Winkcelmann rejected the sensual nature of art, manifestation of the passions of the soul, and idealized expressionless beauty, tranquil and passionless aesthetic forms. Likewise in his own sexual life he had to hide his hopes and disappointments behind a facade of diligence and respectability''.</ref>
