The Ladies Who Loved Matisse

At the start of 20th century, wealthy American sisters Claribel and Etta Cone (1864–1929 and 1870–1949, respectively) amassed one of the world's finest collections of modern art, including many works by the French Fauvist painter Henri Matisse (1869–1954). Presenter Michael Palin travels to the Italian city of Florence, the source of their passion for art, and tours their apartment-turned-gallery in Baltimore, Maryland.
