Napoleon: A Very Efficient Magpie

Last time, we explored Veronese’s dazzling Wedding Feast at Cana a Venetian marvel painted for a monastery refectory and admired there for over two hundred years. Today, we follow the painting into a very different world: war, politics, plunder, restoration disasters, and an ongoing question of art crimes and restoration. Once again my main source for today is the excellent book Napoleons plunder by Cynthia Saltzman Support this show . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
