Night Waves - 13/10/2008

Art historian Evelyn Welch talks to Matthew Sweet about what the paintings at the National Gallery's new exhibition on Renaissance portraiture reveal about their subjects. Matthew is also joined by Labour MP Denis MacShane and Tony Lerman from the Institute for Jewish Policy Research to discuss anti-Semitism, the subject of Mr MacShane's new polemic, entitled Globalising Hatred. Plus a review of Sophocles's Burial at Thebes at the Globe Theatre, translated by Seamus Heaney and directed by his fellow Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott, as well as French sculptor Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster on his new commission for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.
