View a Preview ClipThe Private Life of a Masterpiece: Ten Great Works of Art Exposed. Going beyond the Who, When, and Where of great art to address the all-important Why, this remarkable series firmly sets each of ten of the world’s greatest masterpieces within the vibrant context of its times. A good deal of How is included as well, as X-ray analysis and 3-D reconstructions expand on the narratives—and solve long-unexplained riddles—by revealing details that could not otherwise be seen. And behind it all is valuable commentary by leading art historians, artists, art critics, and other specialists. Many images of other significant works are included throughout. Original BBCW broadcast title: The Private Life of a Masterpiece. 10-part series, 50 minutes each.
