A guide to identifying symbols in art

What secrets do snakes hide in Renaissance paintings? Why does fire represent both destruction and redemption? What message does a simple mirror in a medieval painting really convey? From Palaeolithic to contemporary art, symbols operate as bridges between the visible and the invisible, but without the right clues, our artistic experience is reduced to a superficial contemplation. In a world saturated with images, we have lost the ability to read the symbols that give art its depth. This essential guide unravels the fascinating universe of hidden meanings that artworks condense.
