Description
At Vienna's KHM, every stitch and curve in the Old Masters hides political conspiracies, scandals, and manifestos of passion. Exclusive tour in Russian about what fashion & poses in classical art say.
Do you really think that fashion, beauty standards, and poses in classical art are just about "looking pretty"? Leave this naivety behind. In the paintings of the Old Masters at the Vienna Art History Museum (KHM), political conspiracies, scandals, and manifestos of passion are frozen in every stitch and curve of the body. Conducted entirely in Russian, this tour is a deep dive into the psychology of European high society through the art of Raphael, Titian, Dürer, Cranach, and Rubens. It is a perfect fit for intellectual expats, corporate professionals, and demanding travelers looking for a high-end cultural experience in Russian language.
