Scientific work

In addition to the sculpture of the high and late Middle Ages, Heinrichs deals with painting and graphics of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In addition to anthropological issues, she also takes into account the general interlocking and interrelationship of knowledge and art production, as well as fundamental questions of the aesthetics of the reception of images from the Middle Ages and the early modern period. She stood out primarily with publications on Albrecht Dürer , Martin Schongauer and Veit Stoss . Heinrichs is currently conducting a research project on the theoretical knowledge and artistic perception of color in the late Middle Ages.
