Abstract

Freud's experience of de-realization at the Parthenon in Athens, and his anxiety and creeping out of the Roman Church with the Michelangelo Masterpiece of Moses are virtually overlooked examples of the Stendhal Syndrome, pertinent to the history of psychoanalysis as well as to Freud Psychobiography. The discussion of Freud's reactions will encompass the psychoanalytic, historical, social and artistic context. Derivatives of Freud's early travel phobia, childhood and adolescent fantasy, will be linked to the psychology of disturbed visitors to distant art centers and museums.
