The 18th century is known as the Age of Enlightenment but also as the Age of Reason and was dominated by a cultural movement that encouraged the practice of philosophy and placed the use of human reason at the centre of all reflection.
This change of perspective is also perceptible in the works of art created at that time - the paintings in the Haukohl collection are an example of this.
By discussing the most important ideas of the philosophers of the time such as Immanuel Kant, Voltaire and John Locke, you will discover how a rather rational and philosophical approach can lead to an unusual view of the Baroque paintings on display.
