Angels guide the blessed to Paradise, while demons drag the damned into Hell. Few artistic themes have left such a lasting mark on art history as the “Last Judgment.” This guided tour with Sabine Engel explores the fascinating visual language, symbolism, and message of these impressive masterpieces at Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie.
Just art? What makes the Old Masters so compelling? What stories do they tell in their paintings across the ages? How can we decipher their messages? Discuss details of the exhibited works as well as their historical contexts. The topics change weekly.
