The PBS series Landscapes Through Time with David Dunlop has won a national Daytime Emmy Award in the special class category for outstanding writing by David Dunlop.

On the show Dunlop travels to the places where some of history’s most famous artists — including Van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne, Renoir, and Turner — lived and worked. In the episode devoted to Van Gogh, for instance, the host explores the asylum of St. Paul de Mausole, where the artist lived in the year before his death and completed Starry Night (1889).

Does this mean that television viewers can expect more arts programming in the future? One can only hope.
