Episode 1 - The Late Medieval World During the long years of the Dark Ages, the flickering flame of art was kept alive principally by the church. This episode features the work of Masaccio, Uccello, van Eyck, Giotto, and Botticelli. Episode 2 - The Renaissance The Renaissance marked the rediscovery and reintroduction into the art world of the techniques and inspirations that had been lost since the classical era. This episode features the work of Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Raphael, Holbein and Michelangelo. Episode 3 - The Baroque Once the world of art had rediscovered the power to create great works, new limits of realism and expression were found. This episode features the work of Velazquez, Caravaggio, Frans Hals, Rembrandt and Rubens. Episode 4 - From Rococo to Revolution Following the development of non-secular art in the seventeenth century, the world of art in the eighteenth century assumed a more decorative role with a greater emphasis on pastoral themes. This episode features the work of Watteau, Boucher, Hogarth, Gainsborough and Reynolds. Episode 5 - Romanticism As the strict classical disciplines of the eighteenth century began to fade, two very different movements came to prominence: from Constable and Turner influenced by nature, through to the stirring works of Goya and Gericault. Episode 6 - Impressionism and Post-Impressionism Never was a world so completely turned upside down as with the arrival of the Impressionist School. Cezanne, Seurat and Manet all produced inspirational yet controversial works which completely revolutionized thinking in the world of art.
