      Rembrandt has and always will be one of the greatest painters that ever existed do not think for one second that the work she commissioned he did not have his own thoughts involved in his paintings he shows it time and time again it is underlined in his subtle features in his paintings he was wise but not stupid and what he was painting he created the best of what he could do whether he liked it or not

    Waldo, you are one fantastic storyteller, I always enjoyed your old TV travel series, the way you dissect art, history, people or events is second to none and bring a perspective on things very few individuals can or have the capability of doing.
    You resurrect and bring life to otherwise dead or forgotten times in our history by connecting the dots that can make those otherwise meaningless people or events relevant so we can all give them a second thought maybe they can leave in us some teachings of value.
    Well done.

    Waldemar, within your great insights and explanations your wit and wonder lies the golden key of your understanding of the Catholics sensibility!
    So many well informed and well intended modern eyes look on certain paintings with a degree of 'colour blindness' that your corrective glasses dispel.
    The Arnolfini picture is beautifully and lovingly restored - what troubled me as a newly married man gazing at the picture as my wife told me of the "wedding" makes sense to me now as a widower. There is an eternal wedding but they are on the other side of the great devide - the pain of rememberence and the dark tones that troubled my young eyes is all too understood now, "grief is the price we pay for love".
    A marriage cert a double death cert and the promise of eternal life beyond the crucifixion.
    Keep up the wonderful work correcting my colour blindness of so many paintings - sacred and secular.
    Good luck and God bless you all in all you do!

      @@cattymajiv Art history studies the history of the production of art (how it was made and produced), the social, cultural and polictical motivations behind it. It investigates how it functioned, its viewers and even the global connections (either in images, influences or materials for example).
      Whereas the history of art is more about western art styles or labels (given to a time period by later generations, (think 'gothic' for example). This is very misleading as there were a variety of 'styles' in any given period and often the labels given started out as derogatory names.
      Art appreciation follows the narratives of the history of art as if following a religion. It upholds the popular paintings or art objects as if they are holy relics. There is no deep understanding of the meanings or social functions and no desire to learn. These are those people called the "cultural livestock" by one witty writer 😆

    TWO great disciplines for the price of one: HISTORY, which has fascinated me since age 10. Art, which, for the most part, I scorned. Like an idiot.

    Would it be possible for WaldemarJanuszczak to save all of his work in written words (book) because all of his stories are the masterpieces about the masterpieces and they should be saved and distributed as permanently and easy as possible.

      I'm always for everything in book form but I have to say art works are great on digital video and also the aliveness of being in the settings as WJ takes us all over the world is a real special treat on digital video. It wouldn't have the same immersive quality in a book. However there are wonderful picture books where you can see these super star pictures and nowadays you can find these books very cheap second hand since people prefer the "Tom Ford" book on their library table, haha, there is a little dig at the world.

    "Bombastic Side eye" is the expression of the Mrs in the Gainsborough painting". My 10 yr old girl threw that phrase out to me...clearly. the kids now are using more vocabulary than I and my 5th grade friends did. That Mrs is DEFINITELY to be avoided!

    Art is a visual language. Having studied art myself, I found most of it being so distorted. However, Waldemar brings the shadows to the light by questioning that which is written for art students. Lectures always left me with more questions at the end. And of course artists try to work through stuff that captures them emotionally... Waldemar does a great job unraveling those things. Great. I love this series. Can you do some more on sculpture perhaps? Thanks from New Zealand.
