Odc. 12. Dlaczego wszyscy chcieli zobaczyć te stopy? Albrecht Dürer, Caravaggio, Mantegna,Chełmoński

Did people really come to church just to see the feet of one of the apostles in a painting? According to a 17th-century account, Albrecht Dürer's Heller Altarpiece enjoyed precisely this fame. In this film, I tell the story of the most famous feet in art history. We will examine Dürer's extraordinary study of feet and an anecdote that has fascinated art lovers for centuries. We will also see how the motif of feet appears in the works of Andrea Mantegna, Caravaggio, and Józef Chełmoński. Why did artists so often display feet? Was it solely a display of realism and mastery of craftsmanship? Or perhaps there was a deeper meaning behind it, connected to religion, humility, and human corporeality? You are cordially invited! #St.Paul #Dürer #Caravaggio #Mantegna #Chełmoński
