“1000 Masterpieces from the Great Museums of the World” is one of the most successful TV series about art. The original, with improved image quality, takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of art. Comprehensively illustrated and compellingly presented – the well-known authors of five short art surveys provide a deeper insight into the masterpieces of painting. Portraits by great masters are fascinating in a very unique way. They allow the viewer to perceive the depicted person's personality and character – nonwithstanding the age in which they originate. Portraits by Dürer, Kupecký, Egedius, Corinth and Warhol clearly show how the approaches and techniques of the art of portraiture have evolved and changed over the centuries.weiterlesen
