In Exhibition on Screen: History’s Greatest Artists, XiveTV takes on a bold venture, not just in encoding the beautiful pieces into a high-resolution digital format, but also in its approach in presenting the works.

Each episode provides viewers an intimate exploration of different artists’ works and their fascinating stories, infused with an entirely unique storytelling approach that allows the works to speak for themselves.

Whether the show is visiting the grounds of the Giverny garden in honor of Claude Monet, exploring the vibrant streets of Arles for Vincent Van Gogh, or stepping inside Rembrandt’s painting, ‘The Night Watch’, the cinematography is thoughtful and compelling. It provides audiences with the privilege of viewing art on a different plane, highlighting intricate details that may not be apparent on a museum visit. The careful attention to detail and the incredible cinematic camera work not only exhibit the artworks in stunning detail but also provide a sense of being physically present in these famous locations.

The show features interviews with art historians, curators, and scholars, providing insight into the artist's life, the symbolism embedded in their works, and the impact they have had on the world of art.

The docudrama elements of the show add an emotional layer to the historical facts, bringing the artists' personal stories and struggles to life. The series uses period-appropriate actors to re-enact pivotal events in the artists' lives, and dramatic readings of the artists' letters and diaries provide intimate insights into their thoughts and feelings, which often give a whole new layer of depth to their art pieces.

Numerous episodes of the series steer clear of a purely Eurocentric view of art, incorporating exhibitions focused on art from different cultures and periods.
