English summary: In our visual environment, images of aged human bodies are especially present as photographs. The author investigates the role that familiar image formulas, conceived from portraits or nudes, play in the new visibility of old age. She also shows how notions of sexual morality, grandparenthood, and generational relations are reflected in the images. Sabine Kampmann examines the change in meaning that images of aging have undergone and shows how photography influences our perception of aging. She presents works by Giorgione, Lucas Cranach and Bernardo Strozzi, as well as Nicholas Nixon, Annegret Soltau, Miwa Yanagi, Andres Serrano, Erwin Olaf, Roman Opalka and Melanie Manchot. German description: Alte menschliche Korper werden in unserer visuellen Umwelt keineswegs tabuisiert. Vor allem in Fotografien sind sie prasent. Bekannte Bildformeln aus Portrat-, Akt- oder Lebenstreppen-Darstellungen finden sich darin wieder. Diese neue Sichtbarkeit des Alters wirkt sich auch auf die Vorstellungen von Sexualmoral, Groaelternschaft, Generationenverhaltnissen und Lebenslaufen aus. Sabine Kampmann untersucht den Bedeutungswechsel, den die Bilder des Alterns erfahren haben, und zeigt, wie die Fotografie unsere Auffassungen vom Altern beeinflusst. Sie stellt Werke von Giorgione, Lucas Cranach und Bernardo Strozzi ebenso wie von Nicholas Nixon, Annegret Soltau, Miwa Yanagi, Andres Serrano, Erwin Olaf, Roman Opalka und Melanie Manchot vor.
