The high-definition history of Renaissance art preserved on analog tape
In short: Explore a rare educational journey into the radiance of Renaissance art, originally broadcast in 1999 but never officially released on home media.
This six-part series by Andrew Graham-Dixon provides an in-depth look at the aesthetics and history of the Renaissance. Because the program was never issued on VHS or DVD, these specific digital copies were salvaged from original television telecasts recorded onto tape and subsequently digitized.
The footage reflects the standard of 1999 television rather than modern high definition, offering a unique window into how art history was curated for a mass audience at the turn of the millennium.
