Listen "The Art Detective"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we unpack the art of connoisseurship, where expertise meets intuition. Often likened to detective work, connoisseurship involves recognizing an artist’s “fingerprint” through brushstrokes, composition, and subtle stylistic clues. We explore its impact on art history, the challenges of bias and subjectivity, and how modern technologies like X-rays are reshaping this field. Discover how connoisseurship reveals not just the origins of masterpieces, but also the evolving narratives of culture and creativity.
