TRAVEL BROADENS THE MIND: ARTISTS AND THEIR TRAVELS

In the 17th century Rubens travelled to Spain and Italy and what he produced during his future career was shaped by the these journeys.

Delacroix, at the beginning of the 19th century, and Gauguin towards the end of the same century, travelled further outside Europe to North Africa and the South Seas respectively - how did their travels transform their work and introduce new ideas to European painting?
