Art That Made Us(2022)

Art That Made Us is a documentary series that rewrites British history through its greatest artworks. Spanning 1,500 years, the show identifies eight pivotal moments that transformed the British Isles, then traces how art from each era shaped the culture that followed. Acclaimed contemporary artists and thinkers stand before iconic works held in UK collections—from medieval manuscripts to modern masterpieces—and reveal how these pieces inspired their own creative practice. Rather than listing dates and dynasties, Art That Made Us lets the art itself tell the story, showing how a single painting, sculpture, or artifact can capture an entire civilization's turning point. The series argues that to understand Britain, you must first understand the art it made.
