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.
