- Rick Steves' Europe © 2023 | After Rome fell, Europe spent a thousand years in its Middle Ages. Its art shows how the light of civilization flickered in monasteries and on Europe’s fringes: Christian Byzantium, Moorish Spain, and pagan Vikings. Then, around A.D. 1000, Europe rebounded. The High Middle Ages brought majestic castles, radiant Gothic cathedrals, and exquisite art that dazzled the faithful and the secular alike.

All thanks, appreciation and respect, our professor. We are honored and happy to have you back. Tourism with you is the best choice.❤❤❤
Indeed….welcome back!
It’s not tourism - it’s watching.
Thank you
Rick Steves is a credit to society, and to humanity, such a genuine character with an affable personality and spirited nature.
never heard of him, seems solid, he doesnt say everything is gayorracistright?
@rangandlatteshubby @warfrek93 you obviously haven't seen Rick's work, your comments are out of ignorance and such a disappointment. the benefit of anonymity behind keyboards has brought forth the worst among people. smh
There is no such thing as a typical boomer. The Rolling Stones are boomers! We can't help when we were born.
Rick I have been watching your travel videos since 2000. I am so happy to see that you are still going strong. Thank you for your hard work and giving us the opportunity to see the world. 👏👏👏
Rick Steves, your voice is like butterscotch, joyous, I love your speaking style and your way with words! Excellent, informative video - thank you for your contributions to the world!
Gorgeous, Steve! What a beautiful and carefully put together celebration to the expressions and passions of the Middle Ages.
A true master of European knowledge and narration. Your videos are not just informative but also create a cozy atmosphere in our homes to sit back to and indulge in all of what Europe has to offer. Thanks for your incredible work Rick !
This is Steve's best historical video. Well done!!!

Thank you Rick Steves. Sooo happy to watched your vlogs.Keep it up😘
Mr.Rick Steves, your grand style of presenting your travel videos is quite fascinating ! It's a pleasant experience to watch your videos as you have a thorough knowledge of History and your presentation is very free flowing !
I, myself, had been a student of History but back then, it seemed to be a very raw and dry subject, reading it within the classroom environment.
Now,due to the visual effects and your unique way of presentation makes it quite interesting and i enjoy the every bit of it !
Sir, thank you so much !
OMG!!! I was sooo excited 2 see a new Back Door video. Have been waiting 4 a long time. I hope this means more are coming. Have missed Rick & all the guys. Fantastic history, footage & narration as usual! 👏Bravo! More, more plz. Safe travels.
Take care & God bless.

Thank you Sir.
Beautiful. 😍 Magnificent.
Fantastic episode.
I'm impress by the quality of this video and also showing half upper body instead of the to usual full body shot in their old format. This is the best lecture, you don't to attend university, just watch the new Rick Steve's show. Thank you Rick and your crew for creating this educational video.
Another great presentation of European culture. Thank you!
Rick Steves is the reason I studied in Italy for one year and now I’m literally moving there😅 So happy he’s back!

Art of middle age. Thanks for your great contents.
Thank you for the knowledge. European art and architecture are the best 👌
Aging like a fine wine steve
Ulm has a beautiful cathedral. We drove there several times when my father was doing genealogy research.
Amazing.
Love me some Rick Steve
RickSteves has a wonderful way with words and appears to effortlessly distill hundreds of years of history into a few minutes without losing the essence of what the art of the Middle Ages is. His informed anod friendly narrative then forms a wonderful list of places to visit. I aim to visit Durham Cathedral this year with a new appreciation for its place in history. Thank you Rick!
Europe and her people are worth protecting.
thank you for this amazing work
Thank you so much for this…..
Perfect for Easter time
Which is always a strange time
Finally, an older Rick Steves is back !
Como não amar o Tio Ricardo ❤? Maravilhoso sempre . Beijos do Brasil 🇧🇷 e venha nos visitar.
Many of the Nordic churches are in the shape of a pine tree, the tree of Ygrdrasil. I got to amble through Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame in 1974. These gothic Cathedrals always fill me with wonder.
This is a terrific popular overview. I noted the fun tourist acrobatics of building a church originated by Malcolm Miller, the authority on Chartres. And I liked seeing the Lady and the Unicorn tapestry section again, cut and pasted from a standalone video. Showing so many wonderful images in somewhat rapid succession suited the purposes of his themes. However, I wish a few more of them had been identified as he skipped from country to country in his examples. The recurring reference to the website was a good alert, but I really didn’t want to go to the footnotes repeatedly. Nevertheless, with the flood of inane travel bloggers these days, Rick Steves stands out for excellence.
Hardik dhanyawad,
Fortunately we got to see Notre Dame before the roof burned.
Amen
...monumental work of art, irresistibly beautiful and enchanting mesmerizing movie, thank you to charismatic Mr.Rick Steves, love ❤️ you...
Not just beautiful artwork
And history
But warm and friendly
Visits with the travellers
Gives you the feeling of world as a warm and friendly place
😊👍
22.10.2023.Very good and best..Thank you.
Rick looks great with his silver white hair!
Sure, there may be better art critics for shows like this, but only Rick can do what he does...show art and architecture in the way a common man would see it.
...this phenomenal movie is the masterpiece of beautiful opulence, lavish culture and divine aesthetics so exquisitely filmed, thank you to charismatic Mr. Rick Steves for this mesmerizing work of art, love ❤️ you...
Beautiful. Informative. Entertaining. What more could I ask for? Maybe more.
I am happy to view you again Sir Rick.
Yes believe amen tankyou very much 🙏🌻🌻🙏
Thank you love everything you do
Chartres still works. I rode in from the east, & was treated to the sight of the uneven spires rising over the edge of the world from many miles away. 😮
Kudos to your superb combination of research, script and photography. Very special praise for the not so obvious facts you inserted deftly, such as the devolution of the Crusades into commercial exploitation.
❤❤
Wow! 2 new Rick Steves episodes in 1 day. 😂
Les reliques de Saints, cela va trop loin et fait peur. C'est la mort. Pas le bâton de lumière. Très beau documentaire !
The European Renaissance artists drew inspiration from both the art of the Roman Empire and the Roman Catholic Church.
William Shakespeare's play "Henry VIII" tells a captivating story.
The art produced by the Roman Catholic Church stands as a remarkable achievement in human history.
In "Henry VIII," Shakespeare presents a storyline filled with ruthlessness.
Who will assume the role of the second Henry VIII in the 21st century?
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
This is the best channel on youtube❤

Your magnificent and learned tour of medieval Europe is Fascinating.

What makes Rick Steves the best is the richness of his content. Other hosts share their opinions too much but do little research. Mr Steves is the other way around that's why I can watch his content one after the other without being put off by nonsense babbling.
Mr Steve I've learned so much from your documented videos. But I would advise you to add captions to your videos. Please and thanks
Just awesome 🙌
Grenada. Katherine of Aragon lived here before going to England to marry a Tudor prince. What a culture shock that must have been!
Greetings from Amsterdam ❤
oh dear rick causing havoc again. he is now on the loose with a time machine
Mr Steves, I'm afraid you have it backwards: it's the Romanesque arches that create horizontal pressure, not the Gothic ones; actually a Gothic arch aleviates horizontal pressure and directs the weight downwards. The flying butresses became a necessity only because the windows became so large and the walls so thin during the Gothic era that they were no longer able to withstand the weight of the roof.
Thank you Jesus 😢
Rick, the OG is back 👍🏻
After long time..... ❤
good to see Rick again. roughly at 13.30-14.30 the song in the back is a Caucasian song, much embraced by both Armenians and Turks: Sarı Gelin or Sari Gyalin. Interesting to hear the song in the documentary.
Rick: A unicorn or two?
Me: I’m in 🤣🤣🤣
Without humankind, golden summer lawns
become the thunder’s empty opera house.
Love was something to slow our lungs’ applause,
erupting in our chests to cross our mouths.
Who else but children would rotate the globe?
and know no names of countries whirling past.
Who else will give the kittens strayed a home?
to lend the comfort promised in our lap.
Some minty arctic hoards the northern lights.
And you, well-mannered, nurse a nervous dream;
something within a smile too polite;
a stewardess on Planet Earth’s retreat.
But please don’t underestimate yourself,
but ask amazed, “who else… who else… who else.”
a sonnet that i wrote
Actually, a little point has to be made about how the different types of arch discharge their weights on the pillars. Oppositely to what is said in the documentary, the lack of the horizontal termination of the round arch in the pointed arch used in gothic architecture lets the weight be transmitted to the sustaining structures more downwards than outwards. That's the great structural advantage that the gothic arch gives, since gothic architects were able to reduce to the bare minimum the thickness of the walls - also opening these magnificent colorful windows - . The buttresses are still necessary, since the gothic arch pushes still outwards a little - we have also to mention that the innovation given by the pointed arch let the architects to plan wider vaults than the ones builded in romanic churches, so they were pretty heavy anyways - but they can be 'excavated' by moving them at the perimeter of the building, and connecting them to the vaults with arch structures - the flying buttresses - letting the sunlight come in more freely.
P.S. If I made grammar mistakes I'm sorry, I'm not a native english speaker
Dear Mr Steves, although I have often appreciated your efforts in explaining European arts by means of your books and videos, I can’t forget that many years ago, some of your comments about Naples made me very, very sad. Nothing personal, though, it’s hard to endure this memory of your otherwise generous positive commitment in observing the best that communities has been offering through centuries.
Subbed 👍🏼
It was the catholic church that brought civilization and beauty through the arts to the west.
Why did Rick keep saying Christian instead of Catholic? Weird omission! Reformation was not until the 16th Century- then territories were Catholic or Protestant. 500 - 1500’s - Catholic, Catholic, Catholic only! All the things he covered should be noted as Catholic influence. Secular perspectives are leaving too much out.
> "the artists who painted these frescoes employed unprecedented realism"
> pans to an angel
lol
Jesus is Alive he love us all your heard a loud voice that you couldn't see get you look up to heaven God bless
Ok
Glad Rick Steves is back.
11:02 Flame of knowledge or knowledge in flames? :)
12:52 What music is used in the background? Sounds so similar to the Armenian folk song “Sari Aghjik” meaning mountain girl.
I wonder how they were able to build these beautiful buildings...
Was the stained glass in Sainte Chappelle and Chartres removed during WWII?
I would just die if Rick Steves ask me to be a human cathedral😂. He's an OG
Lords' words
I believe Social Media and the Medieval Wheel of Fortune are capacitating us humans further towards ever deeper and deeper progress. This could be true; if we were to choose to do so. Lol-
the Commissioner
If the middle ages lasted 1,000 years.and ended in the year 1,500 a.d. or so. We are here now in year 2023 so this means we are roughly 500 years older and progressive than we were by the end of the middle Ages. The events which took place during the mid-term of the thousand years middle ages, about the five hundred years mark. These events may possibly havebthe capacity to foretell the swells and truns we are currently surviving through and living with.
I always liked this guy despite his jabs at those delightful medievals... I recently learned he abandoned his wife and it's not the same watching his show.
What does it have to do with him separating from his wife?

oh, why do your videos always look old money color, so nostalgic when watching it?
3:24 fairy tale objects.
2 much touching in the flying butriss example lol
My goodness. I respect the place of religion, but please name the video’s appropriately. This was about religion and some of its effect on art, it was not about art itself. Please stop being so preachy, unless it’s titled correctly so the viewer knows what they’re being presented with.
