The Great Myths Of The Renaissance (Waldemar Januszczak Documentary) | Perspective

No one is as original and imaginative as Waldemar when it comes to dry art history. He holds you captive and never lets you go on his fascinating look at the history of art.

Terrible panic attack. These docs help so much. His voice is steady and calm. Such a comfort.

Came here for the art history... stayed for Januszczak.

I love how the presenter sounds like he's a Children's TV host. Exuberant and wildly enthusiastic.

I've now watched everything i can find hosted by Waldemar Januszczak. I WANT MORE. What an incredible series. Thank You Perspective.

What a gift we have in Waldemar. His wit is priceless.

Studied art most of my life but now because of your lectures I SEE not LOOK at works of art, in a whole different way. I could listen to you all day and night. Thanks for your insightful thoughtfulness discoveries.

This is important history!: We owe a debt to Professor, and teacher Waldemar Januszczak. NOBODY quite tells it all, with the charm, talent, and learning of this good man! Thank you so much!

Besides the fact, that our host, Waldemar Januszczak is a brilliant lecturer, it is his vocabulary and inflection which lend so much verve, humor and vigor to the experience of bathing in the history of Western Art. His down to earth approach wraps its tentacles lovingly around you and you have no choice but to join in with him, and jump up and down like a child in a toy / candy store. This is how one teaches. Thank you. Oh yes, and don't forget: "...and try to forget she's wearing 2000 dead squirrels"! He may as well have said, "...try not to think of pink elephants"! Priceless! An especially warm thanks to Waldemar, for ending this episode with one of my heroes, Albercht Durer.

The producer and narrator of this series makes art available to everyone with an accessible language without violating History. This is fantastic and the result is both educational and fun. I love this series and always recommend it.

not schooled in any sort of art/painting/sculpture, i find this series most educational, enlightening and just genius in its presentation. it brings me much joy in watching. thank you!

Waldemar is great in his presentation of an art history. great story teller, interactive, entertaining with a weave of great humor . Thank you for such a fantastic presentation.

It's funny, I didn't know that a lot of art history glossed over the Flemish painters. Back when I was in college, my art history teacher, here in the States, spent an entire section on them, (referring to them as early renaissance,) and Jan van Eyck in particular. Eyck has been one of my favorites ever since. That was one of the best electives I ever took.

I just discovered this series with the episode about Rubens. I’m hooked! This guy is absolutely fantastic! What a presenter👏👏👏👏

To those of us that were unable to attend college years ago, your presentations are a joy and a delight. Thank you many times over for these wonderful videos!

We all wish we had an Art History professor like Mr. Januszczak!

Love this guy, He tells me obscure stuff I did not know.

Knowing that Waldemar Januszczak was here in Bamberg makes this city a more special place for me.

I sit down and enjoy these art docus the way I would watch Bourdain. It's always a special time when I'm able to sink into the art work and the wonderful 🎶
