BBC Four has commissioned three hour-long programmes showcasing Spanish art.

Art historian and critic Andrew Graham-Dixon will present The Art of Spain in early 2008. He explained: "Spain is the place where the art and religions of east and west collided and where the nature of European culture and civilisation was decided."

Basil Comely, acting BBC Vision studio head for arts, said: "We've made so many films about Italian art this series feels long overdue.

"And it's been an amazing journey of discovery – to find a story that is both more dramatic and surprising than anything Florence, Rome and Sienna have to offer."
