Art of France
There Will Be Blood
S1 E2:
The French Revolution ushered in a bold new world – in art as much as political life. British historian Andrew Graham-Dixon explores art’s dramatic about-turn: reinventing itself after the bloody execution of Louis XVI, its love-hate relationship with Napoleon Bonaparte, the rise of Romanticism and the art of seduction (cue sex and high drama). A grand tour of a gripping moment in French culture.
