from Room for Colours Hosted by Tina
We often talk about the Renaissance as a time of new ideas, new freedom and human potential. But who actually got to be part of it? In this final episode of the series, we look at women, patrons, servants, nuns, outsiders and artists like El Greco, who had to fight for their place and for the value of their work.
