S1 E3: One of the most wildly creative periods in the history of art, France was changing at a rapid pace and angry young impressionists were reinventing their craft – finding muses in the bars, brothels and cabarets of Belle Époque Paris. Andrew Graham-Dixon ends the series with a wild account of the 19th-century artists who paved the way for just about every modern art movement of note.
