Movie Reviews of The Private Life of Masterpieces Collection
Movie Review: Facinating and Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a BBC series that devotes each hour episode to a single work of art - but in a fun, engaging, and interesting way. I read a glowing review of it in Entertainment Weekly and was not disappointed in the least. This is an absolutely *must have* for anyone who has an artistic interest and wants to better understand why some works of art are considered masterpieces, what their historical context is, the life of the person who created them, and what has happened to them - physically, culturally - from their creation to now.
Summary of The Private Life of Masterpieces Collection
This award-winning series reveals the full and fascinating stories behind some of the most famous works of art of all time. Behind the beautiful canvases and sculptures are tales of revolution wartime escapes ego clashes scandal financial wrangling and shocking violence. In The Private Life of a Masterpiece viewers will witness how these works of genius came to be created and also how they have influenced others and developed a life of their own in the modern world.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/BBC Rating: NR UPC: 794051408228 Manufacturer No: E4082Documentary DVD Video
