Differing Views: index

This series looks at the different depictions made by two or more painters of the same location. This is a journey in several dimensions: around the world, through time, across different styles and movements, and most of all through the individual artists’ visions.

This index of locations and articles will be updated each time a new article is published; you may wish to bookmark it in order to follow the series.
