The third programme explores how the 19th century becomes The Age of the Individual. New wealth from Britain’s booming economy encourages enlightened, philanthropic industrialists to spend their fortunes on art – and in many cases donate their collections to the nation. Our national passion for art moved onto a new level with the opening of our National Gallery, fuelled and shaped by these donations. This is an age of eclecticism, when a new breed of collector enriches Britain’s story of art by buying adventurous and avant-garde work. I love the different stories of the pharmaceutical entrepreneur Thomas Holloway, who spends £6 m in two years on art for The Royal Holloway College for women, or the two sisters Gwendoline and Margaret Davies who buy paintings by Monet, Pissarro, Manet, Cezanne - in Wales - at a time when Impressionism is completely derided by the top London critics.
