Exploring Art History

We’ve produced 4 feature-length art films in the period 2024-2025. All films are based on meticulous research and a strong narrative in combination with lots of visuals to provide viewers with a highly-informative and fully accessible window into the story of art.

To find out where you can watch our films, please visit the Documentaries section above.

From 2026 on our focus is on the production of both feature-length and shorter art films, a series of essays about art by author and filmmaker Howard Burton and a podcast featuring conversations with art experts. Find out more below.👇

🔎 By the way, we have deliberately chosen the name Exploring Art History for our Substack, YouTube channel and also our Spotify channel to make it easy to find us and share with other art lovers!

🎬 ART FILMS: Following our recent return from an extended stay in Italy for research, filming and photography, we’re currently in pre-production of a new series of art films.

✍️ ART ESSAYS: On our Substack Exploring Art History we release a weekly essay about art by Howard Burton. Take for instance a look at a series of essays about the magnificent floor mosaics in Siena Cathedral to get a picture of the intriguing stories they contain. Another highlight is the nine-part series about Sofonisba Anguissola’s journey and the world she lived in to become one of the most accomplished female artists of the Italian Renaissance.

🎬 🎙️ VIDEO PODCAST: Our Exploring Art History podcast features engaging conversations with a spectrum of art experts, including professional art historians, museum directors, curators, authentication specialists, art restorers and more. The discussions offer a uniquely accessible window into both their research and personal journeys.

The Art of Conversation: The conversations are available on our Exploring Art History YouTube channel and Spotify channel. The audio version is available on Apple Podcasts and other audio channels.
