Promising: Images of Cosmos and Hope

For ages, the unknown beyond has inspired both believers and artists. Especially in the 16th century, people oscillated between fear and hope, while painters aimed to make the invisible visible. Their images conveyed salvation history and strengthened the hope for redemption. The exhibition “Promising. Images of Cosmos and Hope” shows how artists of that time imagined the cosmos and the afterlife and how closely art, faith, and knowledge were connected.
