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.
Waldernar is wonderful
@@jeffgidlow9000 oh ja vind je? Alleen schrijf je zijn naam wel verkeerd maar ik denk dat je mij ermee bedoelt nou blij dat ik iemand kan vermaken als nar simply maak niet zo veel uit ,het is een wereld vol met NARREN ZO MOEST IK LACHEN 😹 om een bekende die de hele wereld voor de gek kon houden geweldig met zijn kunstwerken eigen gemaakt alleen onder een andere naam een pracht mens zo talentvol dat hij velen voor de gek hield voor een hoop geld nou ja een reuzenrad voor hun kunst ogen trouwens was ik per toeval belandt op TV en zag een hele bekende achter zijn bureau zitten het ging over oplichting in de kunst 🖼 en dat is de kunst natuurlijk wie,wie voor de gek kan houden maar het was leuk eens een iemand van de andere kant te bekijken 😵💫😳ja vond het prachtig en zeker jammer dat zo’n man die zoveel kan namaken niet eens zichzelf gaat namaken doe hem de groeten als je hem ziet nou Waldemar hoop eens het programma terug te zien dan in zijn geheel 😍afz de simpele NAR
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.
I agree ☝️
I agree. He's most original, enlightening, and exceedingly well informed
He's just the host of the show; I'm sure he had some influence on the script, but he ain't all that... Wladoslaw whoever
@@cantolin4 t
@@giuseppelogiurato5718 No. The flown-in host is an American thing. If someone has their name on a UK/EUropean programme, you can be pretty sure they at least wrote it. I'm pretty sure this whole thing is Waldemar as auteur.
I could watch Waldermar all day long, he's so informative, informal and with a tongue in cheek humour
Isn’t he just the best?!!! I truly wish I could’ve educated by him on all of this art history... I learned, but in art school? It was nothing like this... sigh.( still very grateful for what I got...)
I don't know about watching him all day, but I watch him and these awesome films all night 😉.
Yes, he's a great presenter.
,
Same here!
Im using them for pandemic online art class...so engaging...the students love him!
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."
Medazalam
Waldemar has become my guide to all things art historical. A wit, a compositional mind, and a presenter of the first rate.
Well said.
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.
Just love Waldemar! So brilliant, down to earth and funny. I’m watching them all.
I have learned so much. I just love history, especially Art history.
Totally feeds my brain!
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.
Everything is an opinion.
Bravo
He is very entertaining
Art History is captivating. It's just that most Professors are boring.
@@keepyourshoesathedoor Actually, no. Everything is not an opinion.
His passion is infectious.
Waldemar is one-of -a kind.....SUCH a boisterous intellect...its crazy how good he is..?!!!
Just discovered this historian tonight and have watched several episodes. His knowledge is impressive and he teaches well.
I love watching this man. And his Perspective.
I like his enthusiasm for the subject.
History. Culture. Creative Spirit. Thank you, once again, Waldemar Januszczak!
These documentaries are superb. Absolutely fantastic
Waldemar is my newest TH-cam 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!
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.
So entertaining AND informative! I just love Valdemar’s wit and unique way of presenting the subject of art history.
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.
He soothes me to sleep also.
@@almapendergrass7810 you are not alone!
Just imagine unimaginable ...and here he is - Waldemar my man. Simply love this guy.
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.
Did you miss the series by Art Historian and critic Robert Hughes? One of the best.
“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.

Magnificent.
I’ve got absolutely no interest in art but Waldermar makes me want to know!
Love it!
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….
Absolute genius! Everything you need to learn. Humorous. descriptive, factual, passionate. I adore you W.
Yes but we dont want to see his naked torso!!
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.
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!
curious analogy , paints a funny picture , probably some validity to it

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.
He has made art so alive and how it has influenced history
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
Waldermar gives another brilliant and wonderfully engaging commentary on a key period in the history of art .
❤️Waldemar. Always looking forward to the next program!
This guy is witty. What a clever critic. Been binge watching all his videos.
the best art documentaries I have ever seen ,waldemar is just amazing .,his perpective of art and his narrative is unique
I’m addicted. The presentation is peerless
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.
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 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 fully enjoy watching these videos... God, I feel like I'm living art
The narrator is so expressive...Like an actor in Shakespeare theatre.Thank You.
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.
All those terra cottas are wonderful! Oh, how I'd love to see them in real life.
Waldermar is by a country mile my fav. Art Historian.......he rocks..and so informative.
Wonderful presentations, thank You so much for your great narrative talent and for showing us these wonderful Artpeaces!
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.
Merci infiniment … Magnifique !👍🗣👋🏼☺️
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!
That's a fascinating tidbit of knowledge! Thanks. Now, I'm going to have to search for a photo of it online. 🙂
I cant pronounce his name but he's awesome presenting these great artists and movements in art.
Excellent documetarist!
I learn on every one.
Waldemar is such a lovely chap!
Brilliant!!
Waldemar undoubtedly perceives royalties each time he uses the verb 'to pop up'.
Besides that, he's a fantastic orator and a captivating presenter ;)
I love how he’s reading the Scriptures in Latin.
I will say though that God can make the miraculous happen in reality.
I’m publishing a weekly TH-cam video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you.
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.
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!
This captivating video makes the artistic adventure accessible and particularly alive... watching it becomes a real pleasure, both for laymen and for specialists.
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.
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.
Good lord those first statues behind the gate . Wonderful
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.
@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 love this. This gentleman is like the art professor of my dreams. Will be watching again and again. Thank you.
This was an amazing watch, full of terrific details and stories
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.
So entertaining and very informative!
the way he said : italy, a land of mamas boys, had me on the floor XD his ability to burn is legendary
I so love this program.
Beautiful videos 😍 Thank you very much for sharing, you make us travel in time!
Amazing art and religious history!!!!❤❤❤
Fantastic Documentary . I think this my new favourite TH-cam channel.
anyone know how many episodes are in this renaissance series?
Fantastic material and the humor is delightful. Comedic genius mixed with brilliant insights, what's not to like?
Oversimplifications certainly make it more easy to understand and relaxing to watch.
Proud to be a Catholic and a Westerner, lucky to be connected to this fantastic culture ❤️
I'm addicted to him and this series.
Love your channel. Thank you for bringing the art world to me, in such detail.
I always learn something new with each episode. Thank You!🙋🏼♀️
I watch these videos for the wonderful history lessons, and to watch the instructor's funny gate.
I could care less about art history but I keep watching these because Waldemar convinces me to care and his talk is mesmerizing.
So cool so engaging and so much to learn
Just listening Waldemar passionate descriptions is so enjoyable 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
How informative!!!
Thank you
I love your video with fascinating cityscapes and landscapes. Truly beautiful... love Dante and was dissapointed he dies in exile...
So Great
Job 12'7-10 Ask the animals and they will teach you... Love these videos.
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.
I wish I had this guy's job. What could possibly be better than traveling around the world visiting great art...
You just want to pack your suitcase and see even half of these in real life. Lucky man. Also a great educator.
Really enjoying your videos, so well done. That Dante painting really intrigued me!
Great ❗️Thank you❗️It is also Art to create such a thrilling and comprehensive project (documentary series) about Art❗️
MORE WALDERMAR
Thank you for this wonderful art documentary.
Mr. Januszczak explains so well 🌼🎨💝
"The Renaissance world had grown sinful and corrupt. "
*Gasped the Perspective TH-cam channel audience*
"The rich had grown corrupt."
*Gasped the rich*
"ART had grown corrupt."
*Gasped Waldemar audibly*
I am officially addicted to this channel.
Ren Nay Sance. Love it!!
Very knowledgeable and good documentary 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.
