In his engaging and informative style, Tim Marlow presents his pick of the art on display in the Gallery, each episode focusing on a number of key works from The Courtauld's remarkable collection, from the precious golden altarpieces of the early Renaissance painter Bernado Daddi to Edouard Manet's enigmatic work, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère as well as Van Gogh's Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear. He also takes an exclusive look behind the scenes of The Courtauld's conservation department and explores the evolution of the collection itself.
