Michael Palin talks about how he first came across the work of Vilhelm Hammershøi, what it was about it that so impressed him, and how he and his colleagues from BBC Glasgow set about the tricky task of finding out more about the artist himself. This evening lecture took place at the Royal Academy of Arts on 4 July 2008.
