Author: Frers, Ernesto

Just as the Church's censorship led Leonardo da Vinci and other artists to creatively conceal mystical references in their work, art from many times and places contains hidden symbols. Frers presents a virtual museum of works that contain such secrets, reproducing over 100 color and black-and-white images. His research ranges from Byzantine icons to Salvador Dali, from the Pyramids to the architecture of Andrea Palladio's Villa Cornaro, from the music of Mozart through to the modern era of rock and roll. 208 pp.
