Artists and Models

David Olusoga looks back at the 1986 BBC drama documentary series about the French artists David, Ingres and Géricault, which had a profound influence on him as a young man. David remembers how the series inspired a love of art and history in him that would define his own career and lifelong passions. The series was influential in its day for the use of long, thoughtful shots of classical artwork, which David says is still having an impact on the television series he makes today.
