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

@@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!
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."

Waldemar has become my guide to all things art historical. A wit, a compositional mind, and a presenter of the first rate.
Well said.
Im using them for pandemic online art class...so engaging...the students love him!
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!
His passion is infectious.
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.
I love watching this man. And his Perspective.

Magnificent.
Just discovered this historian tonight and have watched several episodes. His knowledge is impressive and he teaches well.
Waldemar is one-of -a kind.....SUCH a boisterous intellect...its crazy how good he is..?!!!
I like his enthusiasm for the subject.
History. Culture. Creative Spirit. Thank you, once again, Waldemar Januszczak!
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.
He is great. Very entertaining and not boring.
These documentaries are superb. Absolutely fantastic
Just imagine unimaginable ...and here he is - Waldemar my man. Simply love this guy.
I’ve got absolutely no interest in art but Waldermar makes me want to know!
Love it!
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!!
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.
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!
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
@@bobdimarzio3972 uu ⬆️
Waldemar is my newest CZcams 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!
❤️Waldemar. Always looking forward to the next program!
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.
Waldermar gives another brilliant and wonderfully engaging commentary on a key period in the history of art .
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.
He has made art so alive and how it has influenced history
the best art documentaries I have ever seen ,waldemar is just amazing .,his perpective of art and his narrative is unique
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
I fully enjoy watching these videos... God, I feel like I'm living art
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.
I’m addicted. The presentation is peerless
This guy is witty. What a clever critic. Been binge watching all his videos.
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!
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.
Wonderful presentations, thank You so much for your great narrative talent and for showing us these wonderful Artpeaces!
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
Waldermar is by a country mile my fav. Art Historian.......he rocks..and so informative.
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."
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. 🙂
THIS MAKES LEARNING HISTORICAL ART WORKS INTERESTING AND FUN.
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 CZcams 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.
Brilliant!!
Waldemar is such a lovely chap!
I cant pronounce his name but he's awesome presenting these great artists and movements in art.
Excellent documetarist!
I learn on every one.
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.
The narrator is so expressive...Like an actor in Shakespeare theatre.Thank You.
Good lord those first statues behind the gate . Wonderful
This was an amazing watch, full of terrific details and stories
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.
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.
Beautiful videos 😍 Thank you very much for sharing, you make us travel in time!
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.
So entertaining and very 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.
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 this. This gentleman is like the art professor of my dreams. Will be watching again and again. Thank you.
Love your channel. Thank you for bringing the art world to me, in such detail.
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.
This captivating video makes the artistic adventure accessible and particularly alive... watching it becomes a real pleasure, both for laymen and for specialists.
I so love this program.
I always learn something new with each episode. Thank You!🙋🏼♀️
I'm addicted to him and this series.
Amazing art and religious history!!!!❤❤❤
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.
MORE WALDERMAR
So cool so engaging and so much to learn
I watch these videos for the wonderful history lessons, and to watch the instructor's funny gate.
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!
Fantastic material and the humor is delightful. Comedic genius mixed with brilliant insights, what's not to like?
Bravo!
Just listening Waldemar passionate descriptions is so enjoyable 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"The Renaissance world had grown sinful and corrupt. "
*Gasped the Perspective CZcams channel audience*
"The rich had grown corrupt."
*Gasped the rich*
"ART had grown corrupt."
*Gasped Waldemar audibly*
How informative!!!
Thank you
So Great
I could care less about art history but I keep watching these because Waldemar convinces me to care and his talk is mesmerizing.
I love your video with fascinating cityscapes and landscapes. Truly beautiful... love Dante and was dissapointed he dies in exile...
Stupendo !!!
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.
Really enjoying your videos, so well done. That Dante painting really intrigued me!
You just want to pack your suitcase and see even half of these in real life. Lucky man. Also a great educator.
Oversimplifications certainly make it more easy to understand and relaxing to watch.
FANTASTICO!
I am officially addicted to this channel.
Great ❗️Thank you❗️It is also Art to create such a thrilling and comprehensive project (documentary series) about Art❗️
Thanks!
Very knowledgeable and good documentary series
This is totally awesome!!!
The intro 😂
People staring at him thinking "what the hell" ?
Looks like he is getting on a few people's nerves.
@@SLOPPEWALL just like you
and everybody else lookin at those idiots thinkin the same thing
YES! Personally, I think the small reinactor walking beside him was intrigued by this British historian talking proudly about history. He was properly going, "Why can't we have history teachers like you?"
I don't think that was the right moment to talk about the Renaissance and felt out of place and disrespectful to what was going on, as intriguing as it was.
