Museums and art galleries are full of images of women, naked and exquisitely dressed, realistic and overly idealized. Who are these attractive ladies – brides or prostitutes, criminals or heroines – and what can they tell us?
On this tour, you will get profound answers to this question. You will not just learn stories of heroines from famous paintings. We also try to discover what cultural attitudes these masterpieces convey.
Works by Titian and Bellini will explain why Diana is depicted naked and how this relates to the girls’ love of ponies and unicorns. In the collection of Venetian and Florentine paintings we will try to understand why Venetian courtesans look at us so proudly from their canvases, while saints, on the other hand, lower their eyes modestly.
Madonnas by Raphael and Perugino will explain to us how Holy Scripture affirmed moral standards through female pictorial images, and portraits of Spanish princesses by Velázquez will show us the depth of cut allowed to women in power (up to the present day).
This is an art tour ideal for those who want to look at timeless masterpieces from a new perspective.

Private Tour of the Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts with an Art Historian. 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.
