In ancient painting, flowers were often placed in the picture to convey or reinforce meanings. This symbolic language ranges from flowers as symbols of passion and virtue in altar or devotional paintings to floral decorations in bridal portraits. The participants can look forward to a flowery, informative tour of the originals in the Alte Pinakothek and decipher the language of flowers with art historian Dr Angela Opel.
