Humanity’s thirst for knowledge and its consequences, from the Bible to the A-bomb. Nestler uses sixteenth-century engravings and paintings by artists such as Dürer, Grünewald, Holbein the Younger, Hans Weiditz, Sebald Beham and Hans Baldung but also paintings by the Czech illustrator Zdeněk Burian, as well as Johann Sebastian Bach’s music played by Gustav Leonhardt. An unknown masterpiece by Nestler.
