This series aims to put the world of art into clear and concise context. Discover the stories and context behind the world’s greatest paintings and sculptures. Each episode focuses on one piece, using clear and concise language free of 'art-speak'.

Sometimes the artwork is a springboard for other, wider issues and sometimes it is a simple exploration of techniques and meaning. Setting the works in context helps us to appreciate them more.
