Great art comes from real people living real lives. In his popular Art+History series, Paul Glenshaw brings his audience through space and time to revisit vibrant moments in history when iconic works were created, whether it’s Second Empire Paris, Boston in the American Revolution, or medieval Calais.
​
The immersive presentations are more like live documentaries than lectures. They're designed especially for the online experience, with extensive use of Google Earth seamlessly integrated with archival maps, images, and dramatic footage to put the viewer right in the action.

The Railway, by Édouard Manet
​
A fashionable young woman, a girl, a fence and a plume of steam. This placid scene of then-modern Paris was a dramatic response to the radical, violent transformation of the city and its society, which Manet experienced as he grew up in Paris. The Railway was painted only three years after the disastrous Franco-Prussian War and bloody Commune nearly destroyed the city. Manet shows us the Paris that emerged—right in his own neighborhood.
From online reviews:
“What a wonderful way to learn about art and history!”
​
“I can't wait to be part of another of Paul's presentations because they really make me feel I am a part of what is happening!”
