Art Atlas

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A series about the visual arts, exploring stories and themes by focusing on the locations where the art was produced. The Big Picture
The tradition of painting huge-scale pictures to decorate public spaces started in prehistoric caves and continues today in department stores and airports. The Renaissance artists who painted ceilings and arches were like the Imax film-makers of today - daring, innovative and commercially motivated. Robert McNab looks at big pictures, from Wurtzburg in Germany to Castle Howard in north Yorkshire. Producer David Perry
