English summary: Be it Bacchus, Vulcan, Mars or Venus – when the Spanish court painter Diego Velazquez (1599-1660) paints the ancient gods, it is like seeing them for the first time. His mythological paintings unsettle conventions of seeing and thinking, thus implicating the viewer in primary questions of image and mythology. Hanno Tiesbrummel’s approach follows the suggestion inherent in the paintings by simultaneously looking for their meaning and for the ways in which they constitute this meaning through form and presence. This first systematic study of a whole group of major works opens up fresh approaches to Velazquez and to the study of art in general. German description: Ob Bacchus, Vulcan, Mars oder Venus – der spanische Hofmaler Diego Velazquez (1599-1660) hat die Gotter anders gemalt als alle anderen. Seine mythologischen Gemalde setzen Seh- und Denkgewohnheiten ausser Kraft und bringen damit den Betrachter ins Spiel, dem sich Grundfragen von Bild und Mythos neu erschliessen. Hanno Tiesbrummel folgt der in den Bildern liegenden Anregung, indem er eine Herangehensweise entwickelt, die zugleich nach dem Sinn fragt und danach, wie er sich in der Form und Prasenz des Gemaldes uberhaupt konstituiert. Diese erste systematische Studie einer ganzen Gruppe von Hauptwerken eroffnet frische Zugange zu Velazquez und zur Kunstbetrachtung allgemein.
