Discover the secrets, mysteries, hidden meanings and stories behind
famous works of art. A book full of surprises, discoveries,
forgotten treasures and lost tales, The Secrets of Art takes us on
a journey through the art world's mysteries to reveal that works of
art are not always what they seem. A long-lost medieval masterpiece
unearthed in the Tower of London. A secret message that only an
elite few can read encoded in a painting. A glimpse of a ghostly
image beneath the surface of a portrait. The intriguing stories of
these works, and many more, are brought to life by author,
historian and art detective Debra N. Mancoff, as she reveals secret
symbols used by Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer and Caravaggio, uncovers
layers of meaning in paintings by Van Gogh, Picasso and Dali, and
provides insight into works by Frida Kahlo, Kara Walker and Marina
Abramovic. Drawing upon the findings of advanced technology, new
research, scientific analysis and old-fashioned curiosity, The
Secrets of Art unveils the layers of meaning beneath the surfaces
of great works of art in a collection of tales that are fully based
in fact but are as fascinating as fiction.
