Behind every painting is a person — and often a story worth telling. Painters’ Tales brings together remarkable moments from the lives of painters around the world: unexpected events, unusual choices, personal struggles, discoveries and lesser-known episodes that reveal the people behind the art.
From celebrated Old Masters to modern and contemporary painters, explore the stories that shaped their lives, their work and, sometimes, the history of art itself.

Some painters lived lives as extraordinary as the works they created. Some travelled across continents, survived wars or faced poverty and illness. Others challenged conventions, founded new artistic movements or changed the way we understand painting.
Painters’ Tales is a growing collection of true, carefully researched stories about painters from different countries and periods. Each story begins with an artist, but goes beyond the canvas to discover the events, ideas and experiences that made their life remarkable.
Every painter has a story. Some are too remarkable to be forgotten.
