Vinzenz Brinkmann (* 1958 in Göttingen ) is a German classical archaeologist .

Life

Brinkmann grew up in Gauting near Munich and studied classical archeology in Munich and Athens . In 1987 he received his doctorate in Munich with the work Observations on the formal structure and the meaning of the friezes of the Siphni Treasure House under Volkmar von Graeve .

From 1988 to 1994 he was - interrupted by a travel grant from the German Archaeological Institute (1988/89) - university assistant at the University of Bochum . From 1994 to 2007 he worked as a curator at the Staatliche Antikensammlungen and the Glyptothek in Munich. In 2001 he completed his habilitation in Bochum. Since 2007 he has headed the collection of antiques at the Liebieghaus sculpture collection in Frankfurt am Main and has taught (since 2008 as associate professor) at the Institute for Archaeological Sciences at the University of Bochum. He was a board member of the Archeology Foundation .

Together with Ralf Biering, he developed the ancient science database project Dyabola .

The results of his research on ancient polychromy were presented in the traveling exhibition Colorful Gods - The Color of Ancient Sculpture in various locations (Glyptothek Munich, Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung Frankfurt, Musei Vaticani Rome, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Copenhagen, National Archaeological Museum Athens, Archaeological Museum Istanbul, Fine Arts Museum San Francisco, Palacio de Bellas Artes Mexico City, Harvard University Museums, Oxford, Göttingen, Heidelberg, Tübingen and many more).

In 2009, Brinkmann and the Greek archaeologist Chryssoula Saatsoglu-Piliadeli planned to restore the grave frieze on the tumulus of the Macedonian King Philip II , the father of Alexander the Great , in the original colors. The first version of the reconstruction work was completed in 2013 for two exhibitions ("Back to the Classics", Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung, Frankfurt am Main, and "Alexander the Great", Lokschuppen Rosenheim).

Vinzenz Brinkmann has been a member of the Scientific Society at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, since 2018.
