I was surprised to see that this debate had a distinct undertone indicating a "battle of the sexes".
Both experts are extremely well-known and respected.
In my opinion, Simon Schama's "The Power of Art (2006)" is the best on-screen art history series since Kenneth Clarke's "Civilisation (1969)".
However, in this debate, I give a slight nod to Vermeer. But, just by a micron.
What do you think?
