The series opens with David’s journey to St. Remy. He visits the asylum where van Gogh spent the tumultuous penultimate year of his life.

It continues with episodes on Paul Cezanne, Pierre Auguste Renoir, American artistes’ colony in Giverny, Joseph Mallord William Turner, the mysteries of Etretat on the Normandy Coast, American impressionism, George Inness, American Luminist John F. Kensett, the Wilderness from the Top of Kaaterskill Falls, New York and a panoramic view from Frederic Church’s home Olana, the Hudson Valley.
