Martin Hanßen takes a tour of discovery through the Gemäldegalerie and discusses the medieval city as a dynamic social structure shaped by law, infrastructure, the economy, and the realities of everyday life.
Just art? What makes the Old Masters so appealing? 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.
