The violet and the pomegranate, the unicorn and the dog, the bull and the lion, the parrot and the peacock, the scales and the pearl, the cornucopia and the mirror, the sign "Mirror of Venus" and the Christian sign "ichthys"…...
How often do we see such signs and symbols in the paintings of famous masters and don’t even think that these images have an additional meaning, distinct from their own, superficial one. The meanings of signs and symbols are almost impossible to "decipher" by chance; you need to know them. And this is where the new book by Natalia Kortunova - a well-known art historian, senior researcher at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, curator of several exhibitions at the museum – will help you.
Books in this series will make an excellent gift for anyone interested in art, who wants to understand the history, styles, and directions of art, learn to "read" works of art, and who appreciates the wonderful heritage of great masters. The books will introduce you to the biographies of great artists, tell you about the most famous paintings, masterpieces of architecture, and works of decorative and applied art.
