Tyler Professor Emerita Gerda Panofsky-Soergel was a pixie of a woman with a prodigious intellect that earned her widespread recognition as one of the 20th century scholars who helped define the study of Italian art of the 15th to 17th centuries.Beloved by her students and colleagues alike, she was slight and wiry, with a soft voice—all of which belied her muscled, driven, and courageous scholarship in art history.
