Discover how much the modern computer games industry and Italian Renaissance painters have in common.

Crytek's Peter Gornstein reveals the surprising similarities between the virtual environments created for the video game 'Ryse: Son of Rome' and the painted architectural settings of Carlo Crivelli's 'The Annunciation, with Saint Emidius' and Marcello Venusti's 'The Purification of the Temple'.

This film is one of five giving contemporary perspectives on the National Gallery exhibition 'Building the Picture: Architecture in Italian Renaissance Painting' (30 April - 21 September 2014).
