Mati and Dada find themselves in Fontanellato, Italy, and discover the charming myth of Diana and Actaeon. This tale was painted by young artist Parmigianino in Sanvitale Castle on a vaulted ceiling supported by a corbel (a projection like a shelf) at the top of the wall. In the myth, when a hunter happens to see the goddess Diana as she is bathing, she transforms him into a deer now hunted by his dogs.

Seven-year old Mati is a cheerful girl with a wild imagination and a zesty passion for art. Along with her eccentric sidekick Dada, she’s magically transported into the lives of the greatest artists in history.

Together, these two friends go on exciting adventures with the likes of Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. Hand in hand, they travel throughout time and art, solving mysteries and sometimes getting into trouble ~ all the while learning from the Masters themselves.

This wonderful animated series is a fun and imaginative introduction to art for budding artists everywhere!

Also available in French.
