Season 1:
Van Gogh's Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear is one of his most famous works of art. However, hidden inside the painting is a startling secret, a steamy tale of geishas, brothels, bullfights, broken love and artistic jealousy.
Waldemar investigates the mysteries behind the painting Les Poseuses by the French pointillism master Georges Seurat, best known for his masterpiece La Grande Jatte, a painting which also mysteriously appears in Les Poseuses.
Waldemar explores Paul Gauguin's forbidden romance which sparked the creation of The Vision After the Sermon, one of Gauguin's most famous, personal and cryptic religious paintings.
Waldemar explains why The Card Players by Paul Cezanne is one of the most cryptic examples of Cezanne's ambition to combine classic religious art with modernity, and how the cult of Mary Magdalene in French Provence influenced Cezanne.
