Learn about the Renaissance through the oeuvres of Da Vinci and Shakespeare, and discover other famous works such as The Book of Martyrs and Milton’s Paradise Lost. Enter the world of Caravaggio, Bernini, Rembrandt, and Vivaldi during the Baroque period, and discover metaphysical poetry and the works of Donne. The program featuring “The Age of Reason” includes discussions of paintings by Tiepolo, Gainsborough, Reynolds, David, Copley, and the music of Mozart, and viewers will enjoy an overview of the period’s poetry and the cultural impact of the American Revolution.
