Whether it’s Lucas Cranach’s famous “Fountain of Youth” or Rembrandt’s “Susanna,” Cornelis van Haarlem’s “Bathsheba Bathing,” or a painting depicting Diana and her nymphs on the lakeshore—bathing scenes featuring primarily female nudes are abundant in the works of the Old Masters of European painting.
Henrik Engel explains that these works often involved much more than simply an opportunity to depict naked female bodies.
Simply art? What makes the Old Masters so captivating? 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. Topics change weekly.
