About this experience
I will be your guide to the world of painting and help you trace how Venetian art moved away from Byzantine influence to Gothic. You will see masterpieces by the best artists, learn why oil painting flourished in Venice, and immerse yourself in the country's history.
What to expect
Secret symbols and hidden meanings of world-famous masterpieces
To find out who, when, and where the painting was created, you don't need a guide. With me, you will not just look at the paintings as if they were book covers - we will read a whole novel, the pages of which are full of tragedies, satire, and love dramas. I will introduce you to the works of such brilliant masters as Titian, Veronese, Bellini, Tintoretto, Giorgione, tell you how painting reached its peak during the Renaissance, and why the Venetian school took a key place in the history of world art.
You will get to know the life of Venetians of the XV-XVI centuries and learn to understand the language of the masters of that time. Previously, painting was an important means of communication, and I will help decipher the messages of artists expressed in their paintings. We will talk about the hidden meaning of Titian's works and discuss whether realistic representation of the world helps or hinders understanding the language of symbols.
