Art Lecture Series 2012, Museum Of Fine Arts Budapest
- 11 Oct 2012 9:00 AM
The arts were reborn under the influence of classical models, and science and art joined together to produce works of greater naturalism. As the scientific rules of perspective and anatomy influenced the new artistic vision, this season will help to bring rationality in our vision of art. The new system of values, placing mankind at its centre, will be the focus of our nine-week lecture series.
