In this art tour we will go through the collections of one of the most influential museums in the world and detail selected works by Titian, Rubens, Raphael, Velázquez, Belini, as well as look at the codes of beauty depicted in ancient Greek sculpture. This tour is suitable for those who are interested in the topic of human beauty and want to experience the collection in an unconventional and engaging way. Before the tour begins, I will offer you tests so that you can record your intuitive perceptions of beauty. Some of these tests are used by scientists to reveal the evolutionary assumptions of attractiveness. Afterwards, we'll go through the collections of one of the world's finest art museums to examine together images of goddesses and courtesans, historical figures and mythical heroines. Themes & Artworks: • Titian's "Diana and Сalypso" will give us some insight into the secret of the attraction of the little foot. • Tintoretto's "Susanna in the Bath" will tell us the basic principle of attraction for the flawless skin. • Peter Paul Rubens' "The Little Fur Coat" will comment on her attitude to the Body Positivity movement. • Ancient Egyptian sarcophagi will explain the popularity of push-up bras. • We'll look at the rules of the golden ratio in Greek sculpture, Dutch painting and in plastic surgery. On this tour of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, we will not only explore masterpieces of art, we will discuss the question of whether female and male attractiveness is purely a matter of taste or whether our ideas of beauty have an evolutionary basis. And we will also find examples where fashion and the pursuit of status have played a major role.

The Vienna Museum of Art History's collection is the best place to see and to understand what distinguishes a brilliant artist from the wonderful and the good from the mediocre. If you want not only to walk through the museum and enjoy the works of Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer, Raphael and Caravaggio, but also aspire to understand what distinguishes their works from those of their less famous contemporaries, this tour is for you. In Peter Bruegel's largest world collection, we'll take a closer look at The Hunters in the Snow to understand why it was in the 20th century that this painting became the “cold distant peak of unattainable art“, and why it was a huge risk to choose such a controversial subject in the 16th century. We will look at the requirements for Rubens' work and see the difference between works made for his powerful commissioners and those created for his own pleasure. The Capture of Samson by his disciple Antonis van Dyck will make it clear to us which qualities of his work have allowed him to occupy a separate place in the history of art, at least equal to his teachers.  Vermeer's work The Allegory of The Art and Caravaggio's Madonna with the Beads will show us the most virtuoso showcase of mimesis, the main principle of Western aesthetics. And Parmigianino's works in the contrary will show us the first attempts of art to escape from the path of perfect vitality. If you wish to see outstanding art and aspire to understand what makes it great, this art tour is perfect for you.
