The painter, scholar and writer Lawrence Gowing (1918-1991) was an eminent figure in the British art establishment. In these three films he illuminates a central purpose in the work of Masaccio, Vermeer and Cézanne, who each mark a distinct stage in the story of European painting between the Renaissance and today.
