What the Painter Sees is a voyage of discovery: through time - from a medieval illuminated manuscript to abstract art, from realistic portraiture to Cubism, from religious painting to paintings of everyday people, from Durer's self-portrait to Miro's; through space - exploring relationships across cultures and continents, from Mongolian paintings of horses to Frederic Remington's images of the American West, from Japanese prints of workers to European paintings of field hands, from da Vinci's studies of anatomy to Matisse's collages.
