Waldemar should have presented the whole episode like this as doubles conversing over a game of chess

This looks so good it almost makes wish I had Sky. Almost.

The artistic output of Properzia de' Rossi, Catharina van Hemessen, Lavinia Fontana, and Sofonisba Anguissola pales in both quality and influence/importance when compared with that of the acknowledged titans of 16th century Mannerism: Pontormo, Bronzino, Correggio, Parmigianino, Rosso, El Greco, and Palladio. Why then, would Mr Januszczak spotlight the former four artists in his recent trio of survey videos on Mannerism that also presents stellar examples of the work of the latter seven artists? Answer: the first four artists happen to have double-'X' chromosome pairings -- and Mr Januszczak is eager to jump on the bandwagon that today deifies the 'woman artist' regardless of the art-historical relevance of said double-'X'-chromosome-painters/sculptors. Although the great art historian Giorgio Vasari did include de' Rossi and Anguissola in his important collection of artists' biographies in 1568, he also included many other second-tier artists in his three volumes. Note that Mr Januszczak does NOT spotlight the likes of Lappoli, Soggi, Tribolo, Bugiardini, Gherardi, Mosca, Genga, Tisi, Nanni, Franco, Rustici, Montorsoli, Zuccari, Leoni, and so many others that Vasari praised in print. These aforementioned 16th century second-tier artists all had the unfortunate characteristic of 'XY' chromosome pairings, and so are excluded by trendy, bandwagon-loving Mr Januszczak. Furthermore, Mr Januszczak makes a point of claiming that van Hemessen, Fontana, and Anguissol "lead the way in the creation of the artist self-portrait". However, Mr Januszczak conveniently overlooks the great and influential self portrait that Albrecht Dürer painted c.1500: www.sammlung.pinakothek.de/de/artwork/Qlx2QpQ4Xq In these Mannerism videos, Mr Januszczak repeatedly states that he is an art historian. Correction: Mr Januszczak has proven himself to be showman in art-historical clothing, using gimmicks and schtick and 'personality' to present his distorted re-writing of art history so as to better press his popularising agenda. Mr Januszczak does not keep with the company of rigorously objective art historians who have written on the subject of Mannerism, such as Arnold Hauser, John Shearman, and Sydney Freedberg. Rather, Mr Januszczak joins the ranks of Sister Wendy. We remain (aghast at Mr Januszczak's unprofessional liberties), MF Anders Sotheby's OMP
