I love how he always has somebody (or himself) filmed next to the painting he's discussing to give a sense of scale so that we can appreciate the sheer size of the durn thing.
I am in awe of his unflagging energy. He doesn't look like a young man by any means. But his brisk pace, his constant walking, his stride that encourages you to keep up with him display a vitality that would seem to flatten people half his age. This ambulatory style makes dry, dull historical events living, breathing moments with places you can visit, stories that engage and long-dead people that you can converse with as if they were standing next to you. He talks to the camera as if to an individual, inviting us to lie down with him and gaze up at glorious ceiling paintings or stay in one spot as he points out a clever visual effect in a painting. The man has done his homework. The man has done his WORK and you can't help but appreciate his efforts.
@@QueenBoadicea Hi, Queen-from a much more humble “Queen “! I agree completely….except every time he does that my arthritic knees start aching, and I worry he’ll have a heart attack.
I love his wit! He educates anyone at any level. He pours light out upon the forgotten and lost artists who really contributed to history. Beautifully done it helps the viewer to understand the significant contributions of artists who rarely have their names spoken in art classes in high schools and universities. Thank you!
Lord, give Waldemar credit please. He's trying to educate a general audience about the life, work and artistic times of a largely unknown artist (which was true of me, an artist whose worked for 2 major museums in NY), "an unknown genius"who lived in very turbulent times which also must be somewhat explained as well. And to do all this in just under an hour. This is not an easy task. He touches on Whitehall Palace, a number of Civil War battles, those columns of 'Soloman,' Charles' famed art collection, van Dyke's role at court etc etc etc. Don't expect too detailed a discussion of the laws of composition. Just enjoy this for a very entertaining informative lecture w/wonderfully described images of art and England. And don't be jealous of Waldemar's presenter skills, I've just known him for years in his artistic journalistic pieces in print, this was a pleasant surprise.
I don't think many people would be jealous of his 'presenter skills'. They are more likely to just be put off by his oafishness. There is something rather patronising about the way he seems to think he has to reduce everything to the lowest common denominator to get the attention of a general TV audience. Kenneth Clark never felt the need to treat the audience as though they were morons and his TV art programmes were a great popular success.
Kenneth Clark knew more about art when he was a child than this alleged expert does as a middle aged man. I mean, seriously - that picture of the Prince of Wales doesn't show him "commanding one of the Furies." He's directing MEDUSA at the Roundheads and petrifying them, just like Perseus. Inexcusable sloppiness.
Thank you for showing me Dobson. He is a very wonderful painter and yes should be known. In the self portrait with the other two gents I think he looks confident, well liked, strong and very with it. Attractive too! But what a genius painter!
Thankyou again, Waldemar, for your brilliant presentation, furthering the education, at 78, of this ever-admiring and ever grateful English student of everything worthwhile in our culture.
Thank you. Thoroughly enjoyable and I've learned much more about Dobson and the English Civil War. Perhaps his lack of fame in England is a case of art history being written by the victors.
I was first introduced to William Dobson and his "Portrait of the artist with Nicholas Lanier and Sir Charles Cotterell" when the Antiques Roadsow visited Castle Alnwick in Northumberland. The art critic described how Cotterell's arm around Dobson was a protective gesture, persuading him to evolve his art rather than succumb to the outdated trends Lanier represented.
A very talented artist, the portraits are magnificent. The faces of the people Dobson painted are better than that of Rembrand van Rijn (I am Dutch, can't help it to make the comparison). The clear emotional expressions in the faces of all Dobson's portraits are stunning. Nobody could paint eyes like this. The portrait of the sad girl, shown just after the portrait of Eleanor Watson, 53:55, is unique in the history of art. I also like Dobson's portrait backgrounds. Waldemar isn't exaggerating IMHO, William Dobson was a genius, on par with Europe's best artist in this era.
Being honest, eyes aren't that difficult to paint, you get a knack for it. Aside from that, I have to disagree about Rembrandt. Dobson was a genius, but Rembrandt was a transcendent genius. Rembrandt's handling of paint was astonishing and his psychological insight put him up there with the likes of Velazquez and Caravaggio.
hank you, Waldemar, for this poignant, bittersweet story. I'm so glad to have heard & seen it. We've shed a tear for forgotten greatness in a painful time.
Ooh!, I do loves me some Dobson💗 And I would have to say that perhaps the most I found on Dobson on RUclips was at best about 15 minutes in length, so when this came up I immediately pushed play and got to find out a little more on this fabulous artist
This video, worthy of a high-level historical documentary, is so captivating that it was impossible for me to interrupt it for a coffee break! This sacred Mr. Waldemar makes his quest particularly alive that we have the impression of living this troubled period of English history glued to one's armchair for an hour of pure entertainment ! Hats off to the artist !
I truly appreciate how you go above and beyond for us, the planning timing research and coordination you put into each show is absolutely over the top, I can’t imagine the months it takes just to give us an hour long show. I truly appreciate and respect you so much, thank you.
OMG I have literally watched every single art related documentary available ANYWHERE online. I’m so GLAD I discovered this gem of a channel!! Keep the, coming please and thank you!
It's only through this programme that I came to know of William Dobson and to love his work. I think if should be compulsory viewing for eveyone who is studying Art History. Thank you Waldemar.
Same here: I recommend a finger on the volume-mute, and a background application with a screen-size to match the youTube display, to alt-Tab to the foreground while the ad(s) play..
I really enjoyed this docco. My maiden name is Dobson and all my ancestors are all in England and I’d like to think I’m a relative of some kind to this man.
Wonderful, as always. My only quibble concerns Dobson's portrait of the first Baron Byron. I was dying to know why Dobson painted that black line across the left cheek. The only thing I could find through internet searches is that seemingly Byron wore a patch to cover a scar (perhaps the halberd scar?).
I love these stories about Artists lives from history. How wonderfully they painted with a lot of sentimental soul making a strong statement of there presence through Art. Modern Art seems to lack the earthy human side of Art. It reflects a very disposable plastic existence with not much substance very much alienated from nature.
What an absolutely excellent video--you said that Dobson and the English Civil War would be inseparably intertwined, but the depths to which this was the case really blew mind. Thanks once more for the deep dive into the research, the windows into the art, and a glimpse of Dobson's, and even his subjects', personalities.
About not being able to feel history, I must strongly object! I feel it at times so strongly that I can’t bear to learn about it, and WWI is one of those times. I began reading Barbara Tuchman’s book on that war, “The Guns of August,” and was so sickened by the ghastly spectacle and the stupidity of the politicians who started it and the rank stupidity of the generals, that I never finished the book and have never researched the war. I’ve had several other heart sickening experiences, but I will use only one.
Apart from him forgetting about the almost dangerously busty maids in the work of English artist nathaniel bacon when he talks about how dobson represents his wife this documentary is amazing and extremely informative.
'The Gates Of Heaven will always be closed to the Morris Dancers' - and Prynne didn't even know about the traffic chaos they caused in market towns across England in the 1970's...
"I've stomped through the stately homes of Britian..." Yes, I believe 'stomp' is exactly the right word. :D

The Second Commandment doesn't forbid art, it never did. It forbids creating images to be worshipped as if they were deities. The full quote, in English is as follows: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness that in heaven above, or that in the earth beneath, or that in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."
The Dobson Painting of the young Prince Charles II at the battle of Edgehill was originally supposed to be full length. The mad fury at the bottom left would have been a full body. The proportions of the painting would have been a golden rectangle.
Here's me again on an art channel saying "please let us look at the paintings". Please provide a full frontal complete view for a few seconds before showing details and zooming right in to show brushstrokes. Then a final shot of whole painting. In this programme of nearly an hour we are not allowed more than 5 minutes in total to look properly at the paintings.
To give a slightly more polite response, lol. I think Waldemar simply cannot dwell on one painting for too long and cover such a vast subject. Besides, the camera can really only show background detail via closeup shots. I personally prefer this quicker and more refreshing documentary style. Waldemar takes historic and academic subjects and presents them in a entertaining format. Maybe I am simple commoner, yet a slightly more educated one afterwards! Keep up the good work Waldemar and team. Cheers

Ah, but so much agree with the great poet Lord Byron. "Sorry" translates into french as "desolé" (same roots as desolation). "Sorry" is an epidemic in our society of 'sorry people'. Once said, no turning back for consolation... however, "pardon me" or "excuse me" opens the likelihood that one will obtain the natural human generosity of being pardoned or excused. Poets understand the power of words going back to John 1 : "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Words not only describe us, but we define our lives with words. Vocabulary is a divisive point that distinguishes man from beast.
One of the things I love about Waldemar's documentaries is that, not only do I learn more about the subject artist, but about the history of the times that person lived. In other words, he puts the artist and their work within the context of life events.
I disagree with his interpretation of the William Lawes painting @48:18. I believe the the 'bust' represents a sad Charles asking forgiveness for the death of Lawes. The hand on his head represents the forgiveness.

I like watch this series.
Honestly, what I love about your comment is that cool dudes don’t usually love art. Love that you love it! Thanks for breaking stereotypes.
Waldemar, is also an artist, he vividly brings to life the artists and the times of the past.
he is the Anthony Bourdain of Art History
He's just great isn't he! So down to earth! I just love his style too! 😆
I had never taken notice of William Dobson before. Another informative and entertaining video, as usual. Thank you.
What an unjust treatment of a genius. Thank you Waldemar for telling us the story of William Dobson and introducing us to his amazing art.
Just brilliant, I'd never heard of Dobson but his work is astounding and explaining the pictures the way you do makes them come to life

His Baroque series was a mess. Kenneth Clark would have beaten him senseless.

Because I already love history

Ronny Wood is a greater painter than Rembrandt and Dobson
@@Auriflamme I wish you had been there to clue in my instructor to that "reality"....
Another Dutchman who can write better English than 80% of English people...
Thank you for this. I have always loved Dobson’s portraits and felt I was alone in this. Infinitely better than Sir Peter Lely.

These wonderful documentaries by Waldemar can turn any ignorant heathen into a lover of art. I'm a fine example.
Great presentation of William Dobson’s brilliant art during England’s Civil War. All spoiled by You Tube’s ridiculous, incessant ads.

Nicholas Lanier in that painting reminded me of Robert Plant in old age. Interesting both were musicians and singers.
I learn so much from Perspective. Thank you Januszczak
Great video about a sadly underrated artist
FANTASTIC documentary !!!
These paintings are incredible! The textures in these works is impressively maticulous!
I really enjoyed this docco. My maiden name is Dobson and all my ancestors are all in England and I’d like to think I’m a relative of some kind to this man.
Brilliant interweaving of harsh history and a tragical life - O, silly Dobson, you were on the wrong side of the Tide of History!
Fantastic fabulous amazing well made story . I'm in shock at it's brilliance
I don't know if I would have "hung around" without this channel
Had you not banged on about him, many including me, would no nothing of him still....great doc...!!!

The only thing I could find through internet searches is that seemingly Byron wore a patch to cover a scar (perhaps the halberd scar?).
Dobson is without a doubt one of historys best artist.
Waldermir's masterpiece works of art, his art videos! Through his lens the sap flows greening old art with the relevancy of human connection.
Long live William Dobson! Thanks Waldemar.
I could listen to Waldemar describe almost anything.
I love these stories about Artists lives from history. How wonderfully they painted with a lot of sentimental soul making a strong statement of there presence through Art. Modern Art seems to lack the earthy human side of Art. It reflects a very disposable plastic existence with not much substance very much alienated from nature.
of course the really amazing thing is that any of this artwork has survived, considering the puritans hatred of anything royal
What an absolutely excellent video--you said that Dobson and the English Civil War would be inseparably intertwined, but the depths to which this was the case really blew mind. Thanks once more for the deep dive into the research, the windows into the art, and a glimpse of Dobson's, and even his subjects', personalities.
Hello William Dobson! Thank you.
definitely worth re-watching often!! well, for me as I was born in the UK and paint epic oil paintings etc!
About not being able to feel history, I must strongly object! I feel it at times so strongly that I can’t bear to learn about it, and WWI is one of those times. I began reading Barbara Tuchman’s book on that war, “The Guns of August,” and was so sickened by the ghastly spectacle and the stupidity of the politicians who started it and the rank stupidity of the generals, that I never finished the book and have never researched the war. I’ve had several other heart sickening experiences, but I will use only one.
