Synopsis
Death and the devil, faith and fear, seduction and eroticism in bright colors -gothic art casts a spell over 600 years ago. In the time of the Middle Ages, which was poor in images, this art played deliberately and skillfully with the emotions of the viewer: it triggered fear, devotion, but also rapture. To this day we can hardly avoid the power of the gothic art. Exploring them is an adventure, a discovery full of surprises. The documentation focusses on spectacular panels and paintings from the mid-15th century: purgatory, hell and paradise.
