description Article in German. Abstracts in Spanish, German and English. We present neoclassicism as it was transmitted by its protagonist Johann Joachim Winckelmann, the "founder of classical archaeology and the science of history of art which emerged from it" (A. H. Borbein), as well as by Christian Gottlieb Heyne. Up until now, it has scarcely been noted that the brothers Humboldt attended Heyne’s archaeological lectures in Göttingen. This leads us – given the primacy of sculpture in Antiquity – to the chapter "Atlas Picturesque" in the Vues des Cordillères, where "masterpieces by Praxiteles and Lysippus" establishing aesthetic norms are quoted. By means of several Mexican plates and the hitherto unconsulted literature found in Humboldt’s footnotes, including illustrations, we give shape to the explorer's comparative vision, seen on the one hand as laying down a hierarchy and on the other, as opening new horizons..
