About this listen

How is it possible to capture another world or time in a canvas, sculpture, photograph or sketchbook? What do these works tell us about how the artist views their own culture? And how does it cause us to reflect on our own?

From the art and architecture inspired by the revered remains of Palmyra, to the impact of the 18th Century Grand Tour, we find out how Western aesthetics have evolved, and ask how photography may make the realities of war and faraway cultures tangible.

Guests include Professor Jeremy Black from the University of Exeter and Photographer Sophie Gerrard.
