I don't know about the three anthropomorphic characters, but the format sounds just like "d'Art d'Art" - Try searching that on youtube
I remember watching this one in 2008. I can say for sure about the series that: 1) the shorts were 2D-animated 2) it was French 3) each episode was about 1-2 minutes, so they were shown during commercial breaks 4) a work of art was covered during each episode (Amedeo Modigliani and Le Bateau by Henri Matisse were featured) 5) it was either sponsored or supported by some cultural organisation (French Ministry of Culture or European Cultural Commission or such) 6) there were three anthropomorphic characters (not animals), one of whom was tall, and they spoke about the work's history 7) a title of the painting and the name of the author were shown on the black screen at the end of each episode
That's about it. I'm hopeless.
