Editorial Reviews

The National Gallery, London, houses one of the world's finest collections of western art. In this extraordinary series, Gallery Director Neil MacGregor offers viewers close-up--even x-ray--views of works by Rembrandt, Renoir, Holbein, and other masters. Encompassing centuries of great art, six beautifully illustrated programs trace the evolution of the painter's craft. Visits to the Gallery's Scientific and Conservation Departments shows how the artists' materials influenced their works and reveals the techniques that help preserve art for future generations.
