Saturday 9 March, at 15:00, Schwarzenberg Palace

Guided Tour – Goddesses and Heroines in the Works of Old European Masters

Female figures are often the bearers of moral messages, social allegories and hidden meanings. Let’s decode the messages contained in the dramatic scenes of Lucretia’s and Zephonisba’s suicide, the ambiguity of the tragic figure of Salome, Judith’s sacrifice of her own virtue to save her people, and the cruelty of the goddess Artemis. A guided tour of selected paintings in the permanent exhibition with NG lecturer Markéta Ježková.
