Sie stand anderen zur Seite und wu te sie zu inspirieren. It isclear that Ernst H. Gombrich saw Gertrud Bing (1892-1964) as the muse inthe circle of scholars around Aby M. Warburg (1866-1929). Others havecompared her to the figure of the nymph, which was essential toWarburg's thought. Indeed, with Warburg's fascination for the ninfafiorentina, a picturing of 'the feminine' enters into the centre ofhis thinking. However, Warburg almost never voiced opinions about therole of gender in the structure of society. Nor does it seem that heactually admitted women to his intellectual universe. Gertrud Bing, itturns out, was the rare exception.
