Modern art expert Alastair Sooke heads to Venice with art dealer and historian Dr Bendor Grosvenor to explore the vast cornucopia of art the city has to offer. 2013 is a Venice Biennale year, and Alastair is passionate about this multinational contemporary art extravaganza. But Bendor is a modern art cynic who loves the city for its extraordinary art history, from Renaissance geniuses that changed the very nature of painting, to landscape maestros that dominated the 18th century.
