What would you rather do: watch a 2h long, $300m Marvel movie, or listen to Waldemar talking about Art für 3 hours straight?
Yes but…….. I also loved Sister Wendy…… that marvelous lisp….she even made it on SNL!
@@deborah5221Very nice of you to mention Sister Wendy. I loved her, she was wonderful.
Waldemar!
Waldemar every day!
no contest- waldemar!😆
I love when he talks over his shoulder like we are both there. It’s subtle but it brings you in. He’s excellent.
Waldemar's ability to tell a compelling story, and illustrate it with juicy anecdotes, is arguably unparalleled in the art-commentary world. Suddenly, 2-dimensional characters in the art world take on another, and intriguing dimension. I love it.
Perfectly expressed!
Yes Waldemar's excellent programs bring Art to life,... but what happened to the closed captioning? The video is on Holbein and yet his name is repeatedly close captioned as "Hine,".. Tudor becomes "Tuda",... etc etc. Does no intelligent person ever check the closed captioning? and if AI is so great that it can pass the Bar exam, I guess it has it's work cut out for it....
I say that to myself as I watch all of his stuff.
100% agree. love this shit !
I fully enjoy his commentary and narration, it is truly wonderful.
I have watched many of your videos on artists and their art on TV, where there is no 'thumbs up' or 'subscribed' icons. I started watching in January 2024 and now want to let you know of my many hours of delight and laughter at your no-holds-barred analyses and humor. Keep them coming! Luckily I have been to many of these places and taught in high school, so listening to your narrations is a big pleasure for an 86 year old. I give you a big kiss on your cheek.
I love the way Waldemar literally walks the streets, opens the doors and invites us through places and paintings, pointing out mysteries and explaining symbolisms. Like how glass on a table's edge is a reminder that life is precarious and who knew a lizard was a symbol of old age!
I love the way, wherein you use the word "literally" and actually mean "literally" rather than "metaphorically" as so many other whose digital vocal likenesses Ihave heard.
waldemar is one of art history's most important creators and educators. His knowledge, personality, and breadth are unmatched. Truly one of the greatest gifts of light to art in what feels like a growing hour of darkness.
Here here.
Nobody does art better than Waldemar!
What are the names of his writers?
"art better than Waldemar" -- who is comparing art to Waldemar?
Nobody does [talking about] art better than does Waldemar.
FR!
@@MoivinSulunker You mean 'who'. I've been following him for years. This is him. And any production has a team don't you know? 😊😊
@@MoivinSulunker I think we understand the sentiment 😊😊
Thank you, Waldemar, for brightening up my day
Waldemar a great art historian and captivating teacher. The video quality and direction of these art travelogues is extraordinary as well.
The artprograms with Waldemar are amongst my faouvorite times spendt. I am not even a big artknower at all, neither do i paint…and…yeah, I do, unfortuanally have very little knowlegde of art beforehand. I dont remember how i came across them - probably watching something about history, or some Kings and Queens, what are something i could have looked up. Now they are in a neat little folder, and I am so happy if i find one i havent watched earlier - otherwise i have no problem watching the sane ones over and over too. He is the best host! Its such a good time, and i feel so welcomed! Its such a pleasure walikng with Waldemar and enjoy all the beatiful, beautiful fantastic art! And all the stories! And how its told and showed! I totally love every little inch of those programs! ☺️☺️☺️ They give me a nice feeling that stays! I usually watch early in the morning, before i get bothered by anything or anyone, no telephone, no nothing, just me, coffee, cat and Waldemar and all the artist, his timemachine, and all the universes he is able to unlock and show. I havent enjoyed anything so totally and peacefully since i, once upon a time, a very long time when i was about eleven or twelve and first read «the lord of the ring» - not that the two are connectedin any other way, but the way I was and now are totally absorbed by both. 😀☺️
On top of all this - i also learn things - alot of things! Not just of arts - which are so interseting and fun! ❤️🤗 But on history, religion, big personalities and so much about human nature and about life it self! 🙂❤️🌟
Thank you, Thank you to Waldemar, for giving us such gems of some wonderfull videos! 🤗❤️🙂 All the best, and much love from Anlaug in Norway.
Weldemar never dissapoints is always astonishing, poignant, and highly entertaining.
You, Sir. Are my favorite Art, History, Religion and Politics narrator.
We need Walde-More!! Luv this guy
A fine trilogy, presented--as we all know--by the best. Life is enhanced by Waldemar's thorough assessments. Plus, now a whole lot more people know of Dobson, and why. Thank you thank you.
Hurray! 3 hours of binge watching! 👍👍👍
Waldy reminds me of one of those (very) few teachers you had in high school where it was actually fun to go to his class.
You actually end up learning stuff, and almost feel guilty for enjoying school for a little while.
Then later you wonder why most other teachers can't accomplish the same feat. Waldy makes it look so easy. But it ain't.
Exactly what I thinking.
Thank you Waldemar and team for these unparalleled films. Vivid depth and contextualization bring these artists' achievements to life.
The history and symbolism behind the great art of history is fantastic.
Waldemar is someone I'd enjoy taking a class from or just going to hear him lecture for an afternoon.
I love this guy. I have watched his vids multiple time to make sure I understanding all the complexity that he so cleverly reveals. And also how much he understand what we ( the viewers) are probably thinking. I hope he knows how much he is appreciated.
These documentaries are superb, as is WJ. 👏👏👋👍🎨
This was educational and pleasant. What a great presenter!
Nobody like Waldemar! What character, what a mind and eye!
I wholeheartedly agree with the comments vis-a-vis Waldemar’s ability to tell a compelling story, etc .. he’s all of that and with a keen sense of humor! A delight to enjoy.
C’est toujours passionnant... on ne voit pas temps passer. Merci !
Waldemar is simply the best at what he does. When I saw that this was going to be three hours I was elated. That's how compelling he is. We learn so much more than "just" about art. Indeed, the human condition remains the same regardless of which century. I will never tire of Waldemar, he could talk about plumbing or mothballs and I would be enthralled.
As for Dobson, it may not be so important that history has been unkind to him but that he was compelled to record his times in such intimate fashion and great honesty, regardless, that will keep him in good stead for those who appreciate an uncomplicated Englishman's virtues.
This is just wonderful. I thought I knew something about Holbein--I was wrong. Looking forward to watching the next 2 parts.
Yay for long art docus narrated by Waldemar!!!🎉
I absolove love it when he rips up the " opinions "!!
Great documentary. Waldemar really tells it in a comprehensible and interesting way. 👍
i love you Waldemar! what a description of Samson and Delilah from the great Rubens painting. thank you sir!
I love you Waldemar , I can listen to you for hours and never get bored. You are a brilliant educator, you have a gift for communicating. But, don't you think that the main reason we all remember old KHVIII and his "damned wives" is that he publicly executed TWO (out of SIX ) of them? And, maybe Hans had such a great time Chez Moore precisely because he was a Catholic painter, and not a heretic Priest who translated the bible from latin to English so the common people could read it for themselves.
I do have a new appreciation for the beauty of Holbein's portraiture thanks to this video. I have not ventured to the Frick in years but I will be paying a visit in the near future.
Thank you for your wonderful videos, I hope you do more of them. The world needs to appreciate art more (maybe it will deter bombing the hell out of the planet) and you do such a great job.
Waldemar Januszczak is spot on when he calls Holbein's sketches of More's family 'astonishingly vivid'. The sketch of More's son, John, in a quiet, contemplative pose, at 15:25 enthralled me. A complete stranger from all those years ago, suddenly alive in my living room in 2024. How little he knew that all these years later he would be viewed by hundreds of thousands of people on RUclips.
Omg, Waldemar, I didnt think I would see you again!!!❤
Wonderful art, wonderful Performance,thank you so much😮
Those paintings of Henry VIII are truly impressive. Holbein was definitely a master painter.
In Waldemar's "fragmentary remains of a shadowy lute player," in the background of Dobson's Unknown Musician, I think first of all he's describing me, and probably quoting Robert Graves. Thank you once again, Waldemar, for all your marvelous scholarship.
When I went to Gymnasium in Germany gazillion years ago I had a professor who taught History in connection with famous writers, poets, composers, musicians and painters. This intertwining of such with History made it so interesting and more alive as well as unforgettable. But Waldemar tops this teacher by far with his animated " stories" . He keeps me spellbound and has me chuckle often. 🔥 damn, what a teacher.
So good to see your work again Waldemar. 😊
I really like these art performances, thank you very much 🙂🎉❤
I learned SO MUCH from this fascinating set of documentaries! Thanks!
the one and only! Waldy!, outstanding! Anchora!
Hooray! Waldemar! Where have you been?
Fascinating video! Loved all of the quotes that Waldemar ripped out re Rubens, yes he's had his critics over the years. Regarding Dobson, didn't know of this artist before, his work is really excellent.
Ruthless and bloodthirsty times. There are those that clearly want to return us there, sadly. As of Nov 2023, in some parts of the world, this has already happened. Let's hope that beautiful history lessons like this, can make to consider how becoming evangelical about "good guys and bad guys" can help us to avoid such a fundamental human error.
Let's leave politics out of this, please.
"Perspective" offers an unparalleled arts channel, showcasing a global array of art. It provides insightful and informative content, featuring a rich tapestry of colors, depths, and a historical expanse covering centuries of artistry. Waldemar excels as a storyteller, blending humor with realism to reveal the art and true lives of the individuals behind the world's most renowned and obscure artworks. Thank you.
I am an American over 67 years old with a strong background. I greatly desire to understand a British phrase that I assume is not simply due to habit. What does the phrase "delightfully British soup song" mean in 17th-century England? I enjoyed watching your great video "The Royal Artists: Waldemar's Deep Dive On Holbein, Rubens & Dobson | Perspective." I truly enjoyed it. It touched on a multitude of things I am very interested in. Art, history, and the monarchy. Thank You!?., Please help me understand so that the story will be more complete.
Waldermar, I could watch and listen to you for hours! Much love, babe😀
I had no idea. Freakin genius.
This man is just outstanding - there’s no Art Historian like him!
" ... there we shout and sing His praisins in that land forevermore."
You are a master at being articulate, Waldemar! So well spoken. I wonder where he was educated at? Oxford?
I agree with Waldemar's assessment of Cromwell. He was abominable. Thomas Moore was a victim of both Cromwell and Henry VIII.
The first time I visited the Alte Pinakothek and was confronted with a wall of Rubens I was disgusted. As I grew older and learned more...I understood him to be an amazing artist. (Much of that is due to Waldemore's brilliant lessons.)
Additionally, there are so very many different artists and incredible styles it's difficult, or impossible, to choose a favorite. Just like I cannot choose a favorite author.
"look at that!"
You know Dobson really nailed little Charles II's true face since the resemblance to his grandmother Marie de Medici's portraits is so clear.
Hi Waldemar. Another brilliant documentary!! Well done! You’re a star! I am now at the 3rd time of watching all your documentaries on RUclips so please keep producing new ones! I am just back from the Louvre in Abu Dhabi and was good but nothing like the real Louvre, so you might do a documentary there and give your expert opinion! Thanks for many hours of great entertainment and education! Are you doing any lectures?
LOVE this guy......makes art real....
I enjoy and I learn.Thank you so much!
Now I love Ruben’s, as I already loved Holbein. Thank you.
The fact that this video has only 4.8k thumbs up is criminal.
I love art. I adore you. Keep itup sweetheart.
Very interesting Performance,Waldemar thank you very much😮😊
Waldemar shall go down as one of the greats.
there is so much whereat to be looked.
Thanks for posting
It was the squinting eyes that told me it was Henry VIII.
I initially said Henry VII.
THANK GOD FOR WALDEMAR THE MIGHTY!!
Entertaining Narrative & fascinatting !!!
We shout and sing his praisins in that land forevermore.
I would love to see a movie about Rubens and one about Carravagio.
That was bloody great.
Very good decision, learning from the Past how to improve our lives in the future, let's invite everybody get inspired, let's explore the best tips all over again, genius artists are just...genius🎉❤🎉
I guessed Henry VII. I was only off by one Henry. 😐🧐🎩🍗
Thump up to the viedeo even before the advertising finishes... Henry the 8th...i mentioned it before I knew it. thanks to Waldemar.
Sensational!
It won't be long time until we hear the angels singin a song of victory.
great story about a great master 👏👏👏
thank you
Amazing story telling ability 😮wow!
Thank you, W!
The distorted skull is GENIUS
Thank you for the truth and saying that Cromwell was a louse - a Himmler of his time
"Because you are virtuous, you think there will be no more cakes and ale?"
Can we get NEW Waldy???
No
Shame. I would love to see some new content, but am also enjoying things like this, from 2010.
Ah ha. That's why my art history professor spoke like that while prancing around the lecture on his tippy toes. He was imitating Waldemar. 😅😅
sztuka ma Januszczaka, kuchnia ma Makłowicza- art has Januszczak cuisine - Makłowicz. Good and knowlegable story tellers.
For an update could Mr. J give us an additional comment that in March of 2024 the Louvre cleaned and conserved Holbein’s 1539 Anne of Cleves. The colors are vibrant! 😊
Thank you
Interesting fact about Holbein, that I did not know, he also designed the jewelry and daggers that the royalty used. So all the accoutrements that Henry and his wives are wearing is designed by Holbein. (Except Anne's B-she came to the marriage with that piece of jewelry) Pretty cool!
Thanks!
You're right about Holbein getting Sir Thomas More right.
Why was Johannes van der Meer called "Jan" and Johannes Holbein called "Hans"?
Jan is a Dutch thing
@@160rpmI already figured that
how do they move the camera without showing the foot steps?
There is a great long hour and a half interview of Gadd by Danish Comedian Sofie Hagen 5/10/2016 That explains some things it is on Apple Podcasts or Global Podcasts under the title Who Hurt You : Richard Gadd - Eye contact, anger black-outs and parents
Im from Bavaria, best arthistorical doku! Love the cut, the music, the fun, the absurdity. A lot of bad things to say about you english but certinly not your humour.
Yessssss🙌🏾
I love this guy.
Love this series. I got to ask though… is it possible that Holbein in with the distorted skull in the Ambassadors painting, wanted the viewer to walk around the painting in an arc from left to right. Left symbolic of the beginning of life going to the right where the skull comes into full focus depicting the end?
Almost an extension of the sundial and other time keepers in the paining sun rising in the east, birth and setting in the west - death
Waldemar's Deep Diving
Honor the Gerund!
What's the name of the background music during the first 40 minutes? The soft traditional instrumental with a female singer.
Waldmar for President!
