The Great Mysteries of Painting

Sometimes the history hidden in a painting is more interesting than the image itself.

And at times – it literally turns what you see upside down. A portrait turns out not to be a portrait, and meaning of existence unfolds in a landscape.

Not only the content, but also the painting technique can be a surprise for the viewer.
The riddles of the greatest works of art – from the frescoes of Pompeii to Picasso's painting in the book “The Great Mysteries of Painting”.

You will learn what artists were thinking, what they hidden from their contemporaries, and what has been practically concealed from us behind the veil of centuries.
