Art of France

It's a nation famous for passion, rebellion and beauty. So it's no surprise that art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon's three-part tribute to French art is as visually stunning as it is dramatic. It's a story of blood (King Louis XIV's), guts (the idealists who overthrew the old rules to define a new revolution in art) and resistance - from the Romantics through to the Impressionists and beyond.
