We'll begin our tour with the collection's most prized possession -- The Last Judgment by Hieronymus Bosch. The modern viewer is amazed by the inferno in his famous triptych, rather than frightened. It mixes chimeras in the form of half snakes and half eggs, fear of wars and epidemics. And a great deal of the artist's personal frustrations. I invite you to look closely at the details of the painting.  Cranach's The Holy Family, as well as the obe by Jos van Klewe, will reveal the origins of the family portrait genre to us, while the religious paintings of the Quattrocento and Cinquecento art will disclose the rules of making art for religious meditation. And Rubens' The Abduction of Orifia will serve us as an example of what art for sensual pleasure should look like. The most valuable skill for an artist has long been the ability to reveal a complex subject by means of painting. This is why the gallery offers many outstanding examples of "stories" - paintings on biblical or antique subjects, such as Heinrich Füger's Death of Germanicus and Angelo Caroselli's The Suicide of Cato. Together we will try to understand the ideas behind these canvases and to feel how convincing they are for us today.

On this tour you will see the most striking works of Austrian art in the splendid Belvedere Palace. Interactive activities will turn art viewing into an unforgettable experience for the whole family. In each section of the collection we will discuss key works, including Messerschmidt's "Character Heads," David's "Napoleon on the Pass of Saint Bernard" and, of course, Klimt's "The Kiss." And with each work, I'll explain how they connect Austria's past and to the present. And to make our experience more fun, we will make comparisons and experiments. We will look at, touch, and even smell the art. So be prepared to perceive art with all your senses! At the beginning of our tour, your kids will receive activity books that will help them not only remember what they see, but also teach them the basic principles of understanding art. This is a tour to learn and to have fun for both kids and parents.
