Trace the evolution of painting from the Renaissance masters—Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo—to the drama of the Baroque, where Caravaggio's The Supper at Emmaus stuns with its dramatic use of light and shadow. Compare the meticulous precision of Vermeer and Van Eyck before moving into the modern age, where Turner's seascapes, Monet and Seurat's shimmering Impressionist visions, and Van Gogh's Sunflowers changed the course of art forever.nnBy the end of this tour, you'll have explored the genius of Europe's greatest painters, gaining a deeper appreciation for the artistic breakthroughs that continue to shape how we see the world.
