Summary: Focusing on eight iconic works of art, this series reveals the history of visual imagination through the ages, from the murderous world of baroque Rome to paranoid, revolutionary Paris; from the carnage of civil-war Spain to the paradox of 1950s New York, caught between Cold War jitters and Manhattan glitter. A combination of dramatic reconstruction, spectacular photography and Simon Schama's unique, personal style of storytelling transport the viewer back to the intense moments that great works were conceived. Eight artists are featured in this series: Caravaggio, Bernini, Rembrandt, David, Turner, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Rothko. Each portrait of the artist weaves biography and historical context to help explain the true power of his works. Disc 2 - David's Death of Marat; Turner's The Slave Ship; Van Gogh's Self-Portrait.
