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.

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 title of masterpiece gives a work of art a special status and if you are going to visit a museum for the first time, you want to see famous works by renowned masters. The Museum of the History of Art in Vienna has many paintings, gems and statues that count to the world famous masterpieces. They include paintings by Rembrandt, Cranach, Vermeer, Raphael and Caravaggio, sculptures by Canova, Gianbologna as well as works by ancient Greek and Roman artists. And you don't need experts to enjoy their works. This tour of the museum is for those who value both an aesthetic pleasure as well as an intellectual one. We will go through all the collections of one of the best art museums in the world and look at masterpieces from different perspectives to understand why this particular work, and not the neighbouring one, has made on the shortlist of must-see objects. To do this, we'll follow the museum's list of most valuable exhibits and I'll not only tell you their official histories and characteristics, I'll also explain how artists have used our cognition and clever self-promotion. We will also discuss the fickleness of worldly fame and the role of the spirit and the taste of the times. Among the major masterpieces we will break down in detail are Benvenuto Cellini's "Saliera", Raphael's "Madonna in the Meadow", Peter Brueghel's "The Tower of Babel" and "Hunters in the Snow", Caravaggio's "Madonna with Beads", Vermeer's "Allegory of Painting" as well as The Reserve Head from the Egyptian collection and Sarcophagus with Amazons from the Greek collection. On a tour with me you can not only enjoy the art, but also learn to navigate a little more in the intricacies of such a subtle matter as "genius".
