A lecture on how, through landscape, artists from different eras spoke about man, society, and time - from idealized views on the canvases of the Renaissance to digital maps, satellite images, and virtual environments of the 21st century. At first glance, the genre of landscape may seem simple: the artist looks at mountains, fields, city streets, and transfers what they see onto the canvas. But the depiction of space has almost never been neutral. Behind a natural or urban view may lie the era's ideas about harmony, progress, freedom, and man's place in the world. Listeners of the lecture will trace how the attitude towards landscape in art has changed - from the Renaissance to artistic practices of the 20th and 21st centuries. Idealized nature could express a dream of harmony and order, romantic views - a sense of grandeur and the incomprehensibility of the world, while industrial spaces became a testament to rapid social and technological changes. The lecture will be conducted by artist Roland Kurapov, author of the exhibition "On Good Weather." Together with him, listeners will explore what meanings artists invested in nature, cities, and man-made spaces on their canvases and why the same motif in different eras could resonate completely differently.
