BBC - Art of France Series 1 (2017) Part 2 There Will be Blood

Art of France

Andrew Graham Dixon takes viewers on a stunning visual journey through French art history.

Part 2 There Will be Blood

Andrew explores how art in France took a dramatic turn following the French Revolution that ushered in a bold new world. From the execution of King Louis XVI and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte - a figure who simultaneously repelled and inspired artists of his time - through to the rise of Romanticism and an art of seduction, sex and high drama, Andrew explores artists including Jacques-Louis David - whose art appeared on the barricades and in the streets - as well as the work of Delacroix, Ingres and the tragic but brilliant Theodore Gericault.
