In this book Helmut Minkowski explores the visual representations of the Tower of Babel throughout the history of art. He presents a wide selection of works from different periods and examines how the tower has been interpreted as a motif and symbol in painting, graphic art and sculpture. The study ranges from early historical depictions to modern interpretations and offers insight into the cultural and symbolic significance of this mythical structure. Through careful observation and analysis the author reveals how artists have continually reimagined the Tower of Babel as an expression of human ambition, diversity and the limits of communication.
