Renowned critic and scholar Andrew Graham-Dixon travels northward across the country, illustrating its heritage of Islamic, Judaic, and Christian culture through the reference points of great paintings, sculptures, and buildings. As the series progresses from the medieval age to the modern era, viewers will improve their understanding of the route by which Spain’s aesthetic landscape developed—and impacted our own. Contains some objectionable language and images. Original BBCW broadcast title: The Art of Spain. 3-part series, 51-52 minutes each.
