revealed by Lady Wedgwood A series of explorations into the hidden meanings of five paintings.
4: The Madonna and Chancellor Rolin by Jan van Eyck The Virgin Mary was the most popular image of medieval painting, representing the sunny side of a religion that was often doom-laden in its true sense. The fear of doom, the Last Judgement, was very real, especially for a man like
Nicholas Rolin , whose climb to the powerful position of Chancellor of Burgundy had not been without blame.
Details in the background of the painting reveal the story that brought Rolin to the peak of his career - a story of political intrigue and murder. Designer ROCHELLE SELWYN Photography HENRY FARRAR Music RICHARD ATTREE

starring Brunella Bovo
Alberto Sordi
For his first film as a solo director, Fellini turned to popular comic-strip magazines with their improbable tales of romance and derring-do.
Fellini knew this world well - he had worked as an artist on the very magazines he satirises so brilliantly in The White Sheik.
Arriving in Rome on her honeymoon, Wanda promptly slips away to find her idol, the dashing hero of a melodramatic photo-strip.
While her hapless husband is desperately keeping up appearances, Wanda is discovering the real man behind the glamorous image of the White Sheik.
