Documentary Tring History

Simon Schama starts his meditation on colour and civilisation with the Gothic cathedrals of Amiens and Chartres. He then moves to 16th century Venice, where masterpieces such as Giovanni Bellini’s ”San Zaccaria’ altarpiece and Titian’s `Bacchus and Ariadne’ contested the assumption that drawing was superior to colouring. As the Baroque took hold in enlightenment Europe Giambattista Tiepolo created a ceiling fresco: `Apollo and the Four Continents’ at the Bishop”s palace in Würzburg.
