Along the way he stops to consider almost every major artist; he shows how Dürer worked in woodcuts, the techniques of Holbein (seen painting the clothes of a straw model because the King is too busy to pose), the hidden Christian imagery of Goya, the palette of the impressionists, the contained violence of the fauves and cubists.
