I read and watch a lot of history and art documentaries. I'm only at min 24:00 and I can already say this is SUPERB work. I've been so very pleasantly surprised by a few tidbits I didn't know. With quality like this, I'm sure your channel will grow quickly. I've liked, subscribed and clicked the notification bell.
The Red & Blue togas along with the Red, Green & Gold color motifs on women, often with a child, in particular, are used throughout many eras of European art to represent various Esoteric motifs and symbols. Particularly Mary Magdalene who is generally identified by the colors used above along with a small, alabaster jar of spikenard. "Red, Green and Gold" can also be found on many National flags and other cultural identifiers. The "Hidden" language of visual symbolism is a very deep and very fun rabbit hole to go down, if you have the time. All of these "Masters" were "Initiates"/"Masons"/"Rosicrucians"(aka "Humanists"). They have an entire symbolic language of their own that completely changes the meaning of a work, once you know what to look for. It's like reading a text in the original language versus a heavily redacted translation. For example, the Bible in the originally Koine is an entirely different book from the KJV, despite sharing the same title.
Gaining possession of a Portuguese Naval map and sailing routes to "The Japans" forms one of the central themes in the novel "Shogun". The Jesuits got there slightly before the Dutch thanks to their early head start in sailing in the Far East. Macau is still a Portuguese City in coastal China that have been there for centuries at this point.
"Columbus" was one of these Spanish "Crypto Jews" that was "expelled" in 1492, while also being hired by the crown to try to find a trade route to "India" by going West, rather than East as had been done before by going to Arabia, then to India, or sailing all the way around Africa, then on to Arabia and India.
Wonderful work with comparative art analysis, but you must really re-consider the background music, with such a rich giantic library of late medieval and rennaissance early music, you use Eric Satie? Really? Sneakers on the bride.
This is such a stunning series. You are a fantastic host, teacher, writer, creator. Just fantastic. 🎉❤
Thank you so much for posting, Masterfully done as usual.
