Title:

Picture of Britain, A

Synopsis:
A Picture of Britain is a 2005 BBC Television documentary series presented by David Dimbleby, which describes the British landscape and the art which it has inspired.[1] In each of the six 1-hour episodes Dimbleby explores a different British region and discusses the ways that its landscape and culture have influenced painters, poets and composers.

Personally, I thought this art-related documentary series was very good. Aside from revealing to us the histories of some of our nations most prestigious artists and pictures, this show also helps to prove that there is still a lot of beauty left in Britain and that what there is of it has inspired some of our nations proudest artistic accomplishments. If not all of them. An effective musical score only improves the all-round quality of this documentary, and the photography is great in parts - making for a documentary that is not just limited to art fanatics only - it can be watched by anyone who wants to learn. Some of the artwork featured on A Picture of Britain will make you gasp with wonder, some may not muster such an overwhelmed response, but one thing remains the same for all of the artwork - it is all inspired.
