Traces of life? Looking age in the face

Everyone wants to live a long life, but if possible without ageing. The media sells us the myth of eternal youth. Grey hair is dyed, faces are lifted or you simply use a filter for a selfie and the wrinkles disappear. The treatment of age was similar in the past - artists didn't always take reality so seriously. On our tour through the picture gallery, we take an unembellished look at the treatment of ageing. What stories do the paintings tell us? How was old age perceived? What prejudices do we encounter and what do we do with them today? Let's face the truth fearlessly!
