Caravaggio: The Taking of Christ
When Caravaggio completed his painting of the betrayal and arrest of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, it quickly became one of the most celebrated paintings of its time. But spool forward two centuries and the painting has vanished.
The Taking of Christ, one of the most radical religious images of any time, became known as the lost masterpiece. This programme tells the enthralling story of the painting and its rediscovery in 1990.
Sandro Botticelli: Mystic Nativity
Botticelli's Mystic Nativity is a painting that lovers of mystery fiction should love: a Renaissance masterpiece crammed with cryptic symbols disguising a dangerous message. But it is much more besides. Painted in 1500 by one of the most famous artists of all time, it is a supremely beautiful vision of maternal love, earthly harmony, and heavenly ecstasy. The painting also has a dark side though.
Botticelli carefully hid the Mystic Nativity's dangerous meaning. This programme reveals the recent chance discovery by a scholar which fully unlocks the painting's message.
