Paintings by the old masters have fascinated us for centuries. Their detailed craftsmanship and masterful use of colors, materials, and techniques leave us in awe. But what lies beneath the surface of these works of art? A closer look often reveals hidden symbols and messages that the artists incorporated into their works. While these hidden elements use a language widely understood by the people of that time, today they often no longer make sense to us, and we can decipher them only by analyzing the historical and cultural contexts. Works of art thus become complex puzzles waiting to be solved.

The magazine OPEN UP! extend an invitation to sharpen our senses and expand
our interpretative skills, to pause and discover the hidden treasures that lie beneath the surface.
