Erotismo, muerte y el demonio - Como el arte del gótico hechizaba a la gente | DW Documental

Death and the devil, nudity and eroticism, horror and terror in fiery colors. Gothic art bewitched people 500 years ago, deliberately playing with their emotions and provoking fear, veneration, and even ecstasy. Around 1430, this art form exerted a tremendous influence. In the era of scarce imagery during the Middle Ages, Gothic art stirred the viewer's emotions: fear, adoration, and ecstasy. Even today, we can hardly escape the power of Gothic imagery. Exploring the figures depicted is an adventure and a discovery full of surprises. This report focuses on spectacular panels and paintings from the mid-15th century: Purgatory, Hell, and Paradise. The pictorial universe of Gothic art tells unknown and impactful stories. Leading experts on Gothic art showcase the innovative nature of painting from this period: the beauty of the colors, the boldness of the erotic scenes, the raw and untamed depiction of all the devils and monsters—art at its finest. What was so novel about these paintings that inspired artists of later centuries? Who taught them the realistic representation of erotic female bodies? Art historian and filmmaker Grit Lederer's team delves into the intricate world of these paintings with a unique macro lens. To film this documentary, the famous altar of the city's patrons in Cologne Cathedral was opened at midnight, and the painting "Liebeszauber" (Love Magic), which remains shrouded in mystery to this day, was examined. #dwdocumentary #documentary #gothic DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
