 The
Rhine: Culture and Landscape at the Heart of Europe
Tour The Rhine. From its twin sources in high Swiss alps to
its delta in the North Sea, the Rhine is Europe's most important
river, historically, culturally and artistically. Flowing majestically
through the continent, it serves as a boundary between nations
and a unifying force, timelessly conveying both spiritual currents
and merchandise and inspiring pilgrims, painters, sculptors,
architects, poets, writers and composers. This superb panorama
of the Rhine's artistic landscape shows the river and the cities,
villages, cathedrals, monasteries and castles that abound along
its course in all their true magnificence. World-renowned masterpieces
of painting (such as Grunewald's Isenheim Altarpiece), sculpture
(the Breisach Altar) and goldsmiths' work (the Shrine of the
Three Kings in Cologne) are among the astonishing variety of
treasures in every field of art, all gloriously illustrated
and knowledgeably described in their historical, art historical
and geographical context.
