I love this series so much, because not only do I learn so much about art, but listening to Waldemar talk is simply a pleasure in itself.

WE ALL LOVE YOU WALDEMAR❣️❣️❣️You are the best art historian imho. We need more new episodes.

No art historian is so thorough and sincere in his study of art as this man. He has master master classes a giant step above and so much more original on his take on art.

Waldemar is one-of -a kind.....SUCH a boisterous intellect...its crazy how good he is..?!!!

Dear Mister Januszczak I'm fond of your way to tell about ART. I admire your knowledge and in the same time I'm admiring the deeply friendly way you are inviting each one of us in a new initiative voyage in art. You're deeply living each word you're saying, you're putting all your heart and is impossible to resist you. Thanks God( of ART) for that. Grateful, Constantin from Bucharest, Romania.

Waldemar has become my guide to all things art historical. A wit, a compositional mind, and a presenter of the first rate.

More entertaining than it has any right to be. I love his: "God created Adam - Adam let him down. God created Noah - Noah let him down. God created the prophets - and the prophets let him down. And because they're prophets, they know exactly what comes next."

I could watch Waldermar all day long, he's so informative, informal and with a tongue in cheek humour

Waldemar is my newest KZfaq ADDICTION. I followed the Baroque from St. Peter's to St. Paul's. I marveled at the Northern Renaissance..the carved statue of St. George slaying the dragon in the Church Of St. Nicholas in Stockholm, Sweden; Jan Van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece...so many MARVELS! WHAT JOY!! AND IT'S JUST STARTED!! THANK YOU, WALDEMAR & THE BBC!

How can anyone say art history is boring? This guy is anything but boring. I've listened to all his episodes multiple times as I paint away in my art studio. I've been also been fortunate enough to have some art history professors at universities who lecfure with the same enthusiasm.

Im using them for pandemic online art class...so engaging...the students love him!

“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.

Just love Waldemar! So brilliant, down to earth and funny. I’m watching them all.

His passion is infectious.

History. Culture. Creative Spirit. Thank you, once again, Waldemar Januszczak!

I have learned so much. I just love history, especially Art history.

These documentaries are superb. Absolutely fantastic

I love watching this man. And his Perspective.

I don't know why but I love Waldemar's voice and wit, I sometimes will replay one of his videos late at night and fall asleep listening to his take on some artist from years long past. I don't know much about art but I now know a little more than I used to.

I love the hooded guy at 0:20 looking sideways at Waldemar as if to say "Bruh you're reading a book while walking down the street? That's weird."

I’m addicted. The presentation is peerless

Just discovered this historian tonight and have watched several episodes. His knowledge is impressive and he teaches well.

I’ve got absolutely no interest in art but Waldermar makes me want to know! Love it!

Wonderful! Waldermar, I'd love to see what you'd do with the evocative Bible stories carved in stone in 915, on the facade of Holy Cross Church on Akdamar Island in Lake Van, Turkey, by an unknown Armenian master. He had a sense of humor. There's nothing like them anywhere. If anything like them ever existed, it's been destroyed, but Holy Cross is preserved.

He has made art so alive and how it has influenced history

I like his enthusiasm for the subject.

This is the first guy, since Kenneth Clark, whose art history videos I can watch with pure joy. And Clark I watched when I was a teenager! I'm an jaded, old man now.

As an Italian I always took for granted seeing all the art, visiting Ravenna, Assisi etc…. I love being an adult and knowing this is all so important culture wise

Waldemar deserves props on every movie here on youtube. So insightful and disrupting. Setting the mark higher than established status quo. Way to go Waldek!

i think you are another step up of kenneth clark you have a unique way to contact people with art and a wonderful camera man with high quality artistic eye your are one of the best in internet beacause of you special way to take the viewer in a wonderful adventure congragulatios keep doing it wow wow thank you so much is a joy to see you programs i live lost in the mountains of mexico iam a painter

I always imagine Aristotle, and his peripatetic school, a bit like Waldermar, a bustling hurrying gentleman talking earnestly over his shoulder, compelling you to keep up!

You just want to pack your suitcase and see even half of these in real life. Lucky man. Also a great educator.

This guy is witty. What a clever critic. Been binge watching all his videos.

The narrator is so expressive...Like an actor in Shakespeare theatre.Thank You.

Anything by Waldemar Januszczak is worth it’s weight in gold…..his level of dedication to the truth, his clear eyed comprehension of art and the story behind it is priceless….

If you tour many of the fantastic Italian cemeteries such as Staglieno in Genoa, you will see that there are many sculptors as good as Michelangelo. Almost every major City in Italy has a genius or two in the works in those cemeteries.

So entertaining AND informative! I just love Valdemar’s wit and unique way of presenting the subject of art history.

What an awesome expert of art. I could spend an entire day watching his well made and fascinating videos without ever getting tired of it.

He is great. Very entertaining and not boring.

Just imagine unimaginable ...and here he is - Waldemar my man. Simply love this guy.

Absolute genius! Everything you need to learn. Humorous. descriptive, factual, passionate. I adore you W.

Waldemar undoubtedly perceives royalties each time he uses the verb 'to pop up'. Besides that, he's a fantastic orator and a captivating presenter ;)

Waldemar is such a lovely chap!

I love how he’s reading the Scriptures in Latin. I will say though that God can make the miraculous happen in reality.

Waldermar is by a country mile my fav. Art Historian.......he rocks..and so informative.

Umm hi, I swear every night I fall asleep to big foot docs and end up here ....I could now enlighten you on the dark ages...and that is just good for humanity.

Excellent. The terracotta's by dell Arca and Torrigiano are awe inspiring. Although I am a huge fan of Michelangelo, his sculptures have always appeared awkward; his David's hand is not proportionate and his women all look like men with breasts. Dell Arca's women are women and heart wrenching at that. Torrigiano's pique of temper didn't warrant a life time of exile and by all accounts Michelangelo provoked the attacked. Thank you so much for this posting, I've learned so much.

A very original & enjoyable approach to what was at the roots of Renaissance art & culture. Of course, it left lots of questions and theses unanswered, but if you came here to probe and disprove, rather than to enjoy, you're clearly in the wrong place. I still wonder about Botticelli who apparently was under Savonarola's spell of iconoclasm [literally, of course], but managed to save unharmed all his mythological and secular frescoes and large paintings from the flaming fires. Thanks!

Excellent documetarist! I learn on every one.

November is the month of purgatory. As Catholics we pray extra during this month for the souls in purgatory. You are correct that many today do not know of it like they used too.

Merci infiniment … Magnifique !👍🗣👋🏼☺️

Second time around, and there's even more to absorb. Dear Waldemar, how do you manage to pack so much of the good stuff into barely one hour? Amazing. This won't be the last time I bathe in your pool of liquid art history and cheeky commentaries. Having you as an art mentor and guide, is both an honor and a challenge.Thank you.

Waldermar gives another brilliant and wonderfully engaging commentary on a key period in the history of art .

One more important aspect of the Sistine chapel fresco by Michelangelo not mentioned here is the artist's self portrait as a skinned sinner hanging in the middle of the painting. Still I really love Mister Waldemar's exciting presentations. As a mature artist I learned a lot from this man than from any Art History book. He is the real deal!

I cant pronounce his name but he's awesome presenting these great artists and movements in art.

Oversimplifications certainly make it more easy to understand and relaxing to watch.

I love this. This gentleman is like the art professor of my dreams. Will be watching again and again. Thank you.

I fully enjoy watching these videos... God, I feel like I'm living art

the best art documentaries I have ever seen ,waldemar is just amazing .,his perpective of art and his narrative is unique

Wonderful presentations, thank You so much for your great narrative talent and for showing us these wonderful Artpeaces!

these Perspective documentaries are all awesome, this one especially is pure gold!♥ I will watch as many as I can, thanknyou so so much from Italy! I've actyally seen first hand some (not all) of the things in the documentary but they are explained so clearly here it's like seeing them again.

So entertaining and very informative!

❤️Waldemar. Always looking forward to the next program!

Another great program. Thank you. My work is cut out for me - shedding all the guilt my Catholic upbringing has inflicted on me. This has added some "Perspective" on the subject.

Good lord those first statues behind the gate . Wonderful

Thank you for mentioning Toricello I went to Seville museum just to see his Saint Jerome, and was blown away. Comparing his sculpture of Henry VII with contemporary paintings of the king is astonishing too. I missed the other chap's terra cottas in Bologna - I shall have to go back when Covid is not such a threat.

Brilliant!!

the way he said : italy, a land of mamas boys, had me on the floor XD his ability to burn is legendary

@01:20: "I've been all over Italy, and I've seen an awful lot of Renaissance art. And, wonderful work, no arguments there, but..." LOL. The self-flagellation sound effects are funny.

I'm constantly struck by the way art reflects history, but blown away how much art changed history and attitudes: the impact of television and the internet today, while it was the visual equivalent centuries ago. Art imitates life imitates art, ad infinitum.

Fantastic material and the humor is delightful. Comedic genius mixed with brilliant insights, what's not to like?

Job 12'7-10 Ask the animals and they will teach you... Love these videos.

I could care less about art history but I keep watching these because Waldemar convinces me to care and his talk is mesmerizing.

57:30 Antony Gaudi, they say his church entrance looks like hell. Yet this scene of the final judgement by Michaelangelo looks the same. Gaudi maybe a little less classical in style, but I love his art. His art captures the turmoil and confusion on planet Earth.

So Great

Fantastic Documentary . I think this my new favourite KZfaq channel. anyone know how many episodes are in this renaissance series?

Today, i learned that the Renaissance began 30 years before 1500. with Torrigiano and Niccolo del Arca. Way the Art History forgot this,? wich the reason?. Maybe dark reasons. Thanks so much Waldemar, always very interesting yours programs.

Beautiful videos 😍 Thank you very much for sharing, you make us travel in time!

How informative!!! Thank you

So cool so engaging and so much to learn

Ren Nay Sance. Love it!!

I so love this program.

Just listening Waldemar passionate descriptions is so enjoyable 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Love your channel. Thank you for bringing the art world to me, in such detail.

It's smart and gentle

I watch these videos for the wonderful history lessons, and to watch the instructor's funny gate.

I wish I had this guy's job. What could possibly be better than traveling around the world visiting great art...

I love your video with fascinating cityscapes and landscapes. Truly beautiful... love Dante and was dissapointed he dies in exile...

This was so educational and entertaining, I love it. What a fun video. Favorite artists of mine: Michael Angelo Leonardo de Vinci Vincent Van Gogh Paul Gauguin Pablo Picasso Monet Manet Artists writers: William Shakespeare Gustave Flaubert Jane Austen Charlotte Bronte Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Mary Higgins Clark Sandra Brown David Baldacci Ruth Rendell Agatha Christie John Grisham Photographer Ansel Adams Thank you for posting this beautiful video, what lovely 🎨 art I love the art of the Renaissance. Why destroy art 🎨 🎭 God is a artist, He spoke into being the world 🌎 we live in. God made flowers 🌺 and put the color into flowers, paints the sky every day. God made 🌴 trees and mountains and rivers and oceans 🌊 and God his greatest creation you and me, mankind, God made man. God made man to know Him to worship Him. God made man to fellowship with to bless him, to show himself mighty on his behalf may you know Jesus as Lord and Savior, God bless you. God gave us art 🎨🎭 to add beauty to our world.

Awesome, Captain Gusto of the good ship Enthusiasm.

I always learn something new with each episode. Thank You!🙋🏼‍♀️

I am officially addicted to this channel.

I'm addicted to him and this series.

Great ❗️Thank you❗️It is also Art to create such a thrilling and comprehensive project (documentary series) about Art❗️

This man...he is art

This was an amazing watch, full of terrific details and stories

Thank you for video hello from republic of Moldova

Right! He is awesome!
