Goden, helden en oude verhalen

Mythen en legenden

De oude verhalen, in verf verteld. Isfandiyar die zijn draak doodt in het Shahnameh, Hanuman die de geneeskrachtige kruiden brengt voor Rama en Lakshmana, het oordeel van Paris van Cranach, Diana verrast in haar bad, de riviergod van Rubens die zijn gasten onthaalt, de blinde reus van Poussin op weg naar de opkomende zon, en de goden van Tiepolo die zich op een plafond verdringen. Perzische, Indiase en Europese verhalen naast elkaar.
