Simon Schama videos online

The art historian Simon Schama seems to provoke a black or white reaction in the mainstream. Either people are enamoured with his books and BBC specials, or they can't bear to watch him. I tend to be in the former category.

With this in mind, the Internet-based art newspaper artdaily.org currently has links (on the front page) to two segments of Schama's Power of Art series that was on BBC Two last year - Bernini and Caravaggio. I highly recommend both.
