This is art - Season 1 Episode 10 Desire
Desire. Since ancient times, desire in art has been embodied by the goddess Venus, of whom numerous reproductions exist today in both painting and sculpture. In more recent times, Goya's Maja vestida and Maja desnuda, two paintings designed to be superimposed so that the "nude Maja" would only be revealed by activating a mechanism, have also interpreted desire. In the episode, Ramon Gener also visits Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, furnished in Rococo style, which houses one of the first examples of a writing desk in which nobles kept secret letters from their lovers. It's impossible not to mention the novel "Dangerous Liaisons" by Choderlos de Laclos. To explore the characteristics of desire, Ramon also recounts Bosch's painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights" and, through the birth of Pop Art, also explores the desire for consumer goods, citing Andy Warhol and the birth of silkscreen printing, with which the artist immortalized the idols of his time, objects of popular desire.
