The invention of British art
Best known from the BBC series Britain’s Lost Masterpieces and Fake or Fortune, Bendor Grosvenor reassesses the history and development of British art from 10,000 BCE to the nineteenth century. “This is a story I have always wanted to tell. Of “how a small island nation managed to produce, after many setbacks, some of the most brilliant and distinctive artists who ever lived, like Constable and Turner.” But it is also a story of ideas, power, faith and empire, and reveals how art helped shape the Britain we know today.” (Bendor Grosvenor)
