Civilisations |
|||
| In the 15th and 16th centuries distant and disparate cultures met, often for the first time. These encounters provoked wonder, awe, bafflement and fear. As historian of empire David Olusoga shows, art was always on the frontline. Each cultural contact at this time left a mark on both sides: the magnificent Benin bronzes record the meeting of an ancient West African kingdom and Portuguese voyagers in a spirit of mutual respect and exchange. | |||||

Civilisations |
|||
| Simon Schama starts his meditation on colour and civilisation with the Gothic cathedrals of Amiens and Chartres. He then moves to 16th century Venice, where masterpieces such as Giovanni Bellini's `San Zaccaria' altarpiece and Titian's `Bacchus and Ariadne' contested the assumption that drawing was superior to colouring. As the Baroque took hold in enlightenment Europe Giambattista Tiepolo created a ceiling fresco: `Apollo and the Four Continents' at the Bishop's palace in Würzburg. | |||||

The Mating Game |
|||
| Jungles and rainforests are home to 80 per cent of all species on earth, but they cover just 2 per cent of our planet's surface. To win the mating game here, you need to be able to stand out from the crowd. For some it's all about putting on a show, whereas others must fight for their chance of victory. And for a few creatures, working together is the key. Chimpanzees are notorious for their brutality and violence, and for most this is the simplest way to secure a mate. | |||||
