A multitude of symbols are hidden in the paintings of the Old Masters. However, the language of painting from the Renaissance to the Baroque has become alien to us today.


In this tandem tour, the biologist Ursula Müller and the art historian Thomas Hoffmann show how to decipher the paintings and their symbolism. Using meaningful examples, an approach to "reading" the pictures is provided.


Topics:

  • 12.7. Hidden symbolism in Old Netherlandish painting
  • 2.8. Hidden symbolism in the early Italian Renaissance
  • 6.9. Hidden symbolism in Old German painting
  • 18.10. Hidden symbolism in the High and Late Renaissance
  • 1.11. Hidden symbolism in Dutch and Flemish Baroque painting
  • 6.12. Hidden symbolism in Italian Baroque painting
