{"isbn":9781350901858,"description":"Episode 2 The Courtauld houses an important collection of 17th century paintings and drawings and at its heart is a world-class collection of paintings by Peter Paul Rubens assembled by Count Antoine Seilern. The collection features examples of Rubens\u2019 sketches and preparatory works, such as The Descent from the Cross, which offers a unique insight into the mind of this great Baroque master. The 18th century collection features fine examples of British portraiture, including Gainsborough\u2019s mesmerising portrait of his wife as well as the only full-length portrait in Britain by the great Spanish master Francisco de Goya. Marlow journeys through art history, exploring the imagery and iconography, the technique and the cultural context that inform what are some of the most profound works of Western Art. Tim will also take an exclusive look at the Courtauld\u2019s ongoing restoration work as well as explore the evolution of the collection itself. The Courtauld Institute of Art was founded in 1932 by the industrialist and art collector Samuel Courtauld, along with the statesman and collector viscount Lee of Fareham and the lawyer Sir Robert Witt. The three were brought together by a common wish to improve the understanding of the visual arts in Britain.
