    About this ebook

    The Unveiled Secrets


    Understanding an artwork often depends on an initiation into a certain way of seeing.


    In this two-part book, I do not describe these artworks through the usual aesthetic discourse; I leave that to the specialists in the field.


    I am here to reveal the hidden side, which was reserved centuries ago for the initiated who could read the hidden codes within them—a delightful treasure hunt.


    By the end of your reading, you will become a true initiate, capable of decoding other artworks on your own.


    Let’s begin!
