November 18 - Who Did It?
Prior to the 15th century, artists were primarily viewed as anonymous craftsmen, but with the dawn of the Renaissance their role and influence began to change. Artists became more diligent in signing their work, and now hundreds of years later we can easily identify the painter of a masterpiece - or can we? This week John Nolan will look at the treasure trove of clues that may be found on the front (recto) and back (verso) of a painting- clues that can help us discern differences among original variations, legitimate copies, and studio versions of "a masterpiece."
Presented by M&G members, Glenn and Joyce Bridges
