Andrew Graham-Dixon is a leading art critic and presenter of arts television in the English-speaking world. With a long history of public service in the field of the visual arts he has won numerous awards for writing and broadcasting. His book &quot;Caravaggio A Life Sacred and Profane&quot; is a Sunday Times Bestseller, and his recent title &quot;Vermeer: A Life Lost and Found&quot; paints a dramatically new picture of Vermeer. Graham-Dixon reveals many of the painter's hitherto unknown friendships, as well as his previously undetected allegiance to a radical movement driven underground by persecution. &quot;Vermeer is the first really great religious painter of introspective post-Reformation religion.&quot; &quot;The Dutch Golden Age is probably the worst name ever given to a period in history by historians. It's not a golden age. It's an age of blood.&quot; &quot;I'm a profound Collegiant. There's not many of us now. I believe in universal tolerance.&quot; https:\/\/www.alainelkanninterviews.com\/andrew-graham-dixon\/","author_name":"Alain Elkann Interviews","author_url":"https:\/\/www.alainelkanninterviews.com\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/43163668\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/ea6c35\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/207086208"}
