Abstract
[spa] El concepto de Bildung, traducido por “formación”, es uno de los más determinantes de la cultura alemana: lo encontramos desde sus inicios en la Edad media hasta nuestros días, ejerciendo una función central en importantes campos como son la religión, la filosofía, la literatura, el arte y la educación. En un principio, el concepto de Bildung tomó relevancia en el contexto de la mística medieval; después su sentido cambió, conservando, empero, durante siglos parte del sentido religioso originario. En este escrito veremos cuatro momentos claves de su historia: la Edad media, el Renacimiento, el Sturm und Drang y el Romanticismo. Y
terminaremos con la presencia de este concepto en la obra de un pintor alemán, Philipp Otto Runge, en quien tomó su expresión más abstracta y concreta al mismo tiempo.
