The Hermitage opened their new exposition “Classic Beauties. Artists, Italy and the beauty ideals of the 18th century.” This exposition is the story of artists and travelers in Italy and the beauty standards of the 18th century. Rome was popular during this time, mainly in the second half of the 18th century. Artists from all over Europa flocked to the city for inspiration or to see the archaeological finds. It was an interesting time in many fields, in architecture modern shapes come into fashion, in the visual arts a new sensual style develops: a naked, divine beauty, even more daring than with the Greeks and Romans. Neoclassicism is born.
Special Audio Tour for Classic Beauties
Visitors will receive a special audio tour, with three themes: music, mythology and highlights. Classical music DJ Von Rosenthal made a soundtrack for Classic Beauties, which will also be heard as a music tour on the audio set. He creates a romantic atmosphere where the music gives the deeper, sensual underlay an extra dimension to the beautiful works by Canova, Mengs and Kauffmann among others. This beautiful audio tour is included in the ticket price.
