If I had had this marvelous art historian as a professor in my art college I would have aced the course and might seriously have considered art history as a profession. The way he connects the art with the politics, economics, psychology, personal lives of the artists, and life during a period makes so much sense. Professor Wally’s humorous and wonderfully informative commentary breathes life into what for me was a dull, forgettable art school experience. I’m now quite excitedly back in art history class. Thank you Professor!!
I find his enthusiastic praise of the vulgar extravagances of the so-called Baroque style rather off-putting. In my art history at art school in England I often found texts where the renaissance was referred to as the "deplorable renaissance" and where the baroque was considered its degenerate form. To each his own, but quite frankly Baroque architecture either leaves me quite cold or else makes me shudder, and that's just the exteriors. It should have stayed in Italy. So many baroque buildings remind me of rather boring iced wedding cakes. The interiors are indeed very vulgar extravagances. I much prefer the English architecture, half-timbered, mixed materials, rather rambling, lacking in extravagant ornamentation, and of different styles that he disparages, and I love the cathedrals and churches that started life as Norman or Early English and had bits added onto them over the following several centuries. Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi called it the "British genius for compromise". In contrast, cathedrals on the Continent are very much of a piece, just one style. Gaudi's own buildings and park designs include many different bits, styles, and materials and they are endlessly interesting, surprising, creative, and fun.

@@terrianderson7088 Yes, I agree. Whether I like particular styles or not, I can always appreciate the workmanship and the durability of great historical buildings. We cannot match them today. Despite my preference for simplicity, I found the exterior and interior of Siena Cathedral overwhelmingly wonderful, but then it is Italian Romanesque Gothic and not baroque. Every square inch inside and out is decorated and patterned. If you're not familiar with it there is quite a good Geographical Care `Guide To the Siena Cathedral Complex' online. A particularly pleasant aspect of the cathedral is that the town of Siena is car-free - so no ugly, noisy, fumy traffic to spoil the view, and it hasn't been turned into a side show surrounded by tour buses as have some cathedrals in Europe. The buildings we construct today are built with machinery, technologies, and many materials that they lacked hundreds of years ago, which makes historic buildings all the more remarkable. My father, when admiring a fine old building in Britain, rightly commented that it had been built in the days when they built up to a standard instead of down to a price, as most modern buildings are.
This guy is an anbsolute gem in art history, not only bringing you the note-worthy moments, but giving you a prespective on why they are considered canon.
Nobody else puts you into the history of art in such a viscerally absorbing context like Waldemar Januszczak. His unique recipe of detailed research of the every day and the grand consumes one. Pure gold.
I know he would hate me for saying this but this man is himself a genius at teaching. I adore everything he has done and can't help but constantly praise him. I studied art history for three years at Uni but t was never like this.
This whole series is very well produced and WJ does a good job of conducting a tour through a most interesting content perspective. I am watching the entire series, well done.
These are the best things on RUclips dealing with the art of the Baroque. Thank you for covering this often overlooked period in art and giving it the treatment it deserves.
Dear Waldemar, a brief thank you to let you know I am a good deal captivated by your historical videos and keen for your humour. Looking forward to viewing more.
I don't know if this is representing art, art history, history alone, or the pivot position that art occupies in societies past and present... but I love it. This type of presentation is like a great stew or goulash where the individual components are more enjoyable together than separate.
It's highly informative and let me to connect with the true spirit of Baroque art and architecture the next time I visit Europe to experience those buildings, statues and paintings. Thanks a lot.
Waldemar is a treasure to not just our Nation but the World. I would love to see him being laid to rest in St Pauls when that far off day comes around. He has opened my eyes to Art. Thank you mate.
These Baroque series are truly magnificent, Mr. Waldemar's enthusiasm and knowledge are very contagious. As a passionate hobby I studied and keep studying Art History and through these Perspective series I discover new unknown artists all the time. I thank him for that. And by the way, I love the music. Some trivia: Charles I' Spanish mission was to marry Maria Anna, the daughter of Philip III of Spain. Not of Philip II, who died in 1598.
True! Phillip II was married to Mary Tudor, Catholic daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. Besides the three other women he ended up marrying.
Great series. I only wish he'd talked about Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the greatest Baroque painters and one of the few great women classical artists.
Thank you for posting this insightful, informative, entertaining video. I love it. The 🎨 art in it is beautiful. I love the narrative, the art history, the travel cinematography and Waldemar his sense of humor and his narration. It's very entertaining. God bless him as he teaches and travels. Very well composed.

I stayed in Greenwich 5 X between 2013 and 2015. I was always uplifted crossing Greenwich Park and passing S. of or through the present "Naval College", as well as by the great sweep of lawn and sky, and by looking South up the hill twards the Observatory. It possibly rained 1 day of 5 weeks when I was there. Magnificent white clouds against blue sky,
The question is posed here: How did Wren go from being a scientist and astronomer to being an architect? The answer is that he never ceased being intensely scientific in what he did, My observation is that Wren knew the rules of Classical Architecture, down to the finest degree. He worked within those rules and utilised them to his own purposes with exquisite mathematical, geometric and engineering precision. For example, do not imagine for a moment that those "curtain walls" on the exterior of St Paul's are serving a purely visual purpose; they are not. Those walls serve the same purpose as the towering pinnacles that one sees on the ends of the flying buttresses of Gothic buildings; they provide the immense weight that is needed to support the masonry domes which vault the nave and aisles of the building. Part of Wrens brilliance was the way in which he drew upon the knowledge accumulated by England's Medieval architects, ithout compromising the Classical style. (I want to make it clear that I am using the word "Classical" in the semi-broad sense, implying all that architecture based (however loosely) on that of Greece and Rome. .
He was intelligent and classically educated; such a person can do anything, and do it well. He was hardly alone in the range of his accomplishments, nor even the most accomplished of his time. Look at the Perrault family, some time.
In some people its possible to be both. Classical architecture and beauty have a lot in common with the symmetry and harmony of math and geomtry. And much in nature.
@@pangaeuspress Your statement "intelligent and Classically educated, such a person can do anything and do it well" is, frankly, a ridiculous overstatement of the facts. Claude and Charles Perrault were indeed remarkable people. And Claude Perrault was a good, competent, unexciting Classical architect. Perrault could build the facade of the Louvre, and the church of Ste-Genieve. But the little church of St Stephen's, Walbrook, by Christopher Wren takes the knowledge of sophisticate mathematical theory, as applied to architecture, to another level entirely. The great long East facade of the Louvre is impressive. But nothing about it is inventive. It refers directly to certain Classical models which are easily recognisable, and it sets a convenient pattern for other buildings of its type. St Paul's facade, on the other hands, refers very loosely to a model set by Roman Baroque churches, but is an extraordinary new creation, which holds its own as an architectural work with other unique and exciting buildings like Karlskirche in Vienna, Redentore in Venice and San Carlo in Quatre Fontana. (I don't know that anybody has ever done a thorough analysis on just what it is that makes the west front of St Paul's so great.) Then we have the dome of St Paul's....Spanning the nave and the aisle, in the manner of a couple of very significant Medieval models. - the octagon at Ely, and the dome of Florence Cathedral. This is what I mean about Wren being able to draw upon the lessons of the past. He didn't get this from Vitruvius. He got it from intelligent observation, which his education in the Classics was not going to give him. Should I mention here the spires of London. I don't know how many he designed. I just know that his "variations on a theme" left us with a most extraordinary and exciting enrichment of the City of London. You can say that Wren was "nor even the most accomplished of his time". but you will have to come up with an architect more inventive that Perrault as a possible contender.

To call Van Dyck a belgian is some of an anachronism since the state of Belgium was founded in 1830. He was from Antwerp wich was at that time a city in what we now call the Spanish Netherlands. It was situated in the duchy of Brabant. So call him a brabantian painter.
I'd like to point out the fact why we call the philosophers Kant and Nietzsche as German when their birth rites were Prussian during the time the Prussian state hadn't amalgamated into Bismarck's Germany
I reckon that Hawkesmore had little parties where three of his guests got to make a pick from a hat which contained counters with the names of a variety of countries/styles.... so if they picked Egypt, Vatican, Ethiopia - then all of those styles had to be incorporated into the next steeple!
At 8:38. Fun fact: all those Tintorettos, Titians, Raphaels and other marvelous paintings in the vast Spanish royal collection that charmed King Charles II during his "Spanish mission" all burned down in 1734 when the Royal Alcazar of Madrid caught fire. It was conceivably one of the worst disasters in modern art history--over 500 irreplaceable paintings were lost...

Classical architecture .... has EVERYTHING in common with the symmetry and harmony of maths and geometry.
Great commitment to painting and, best of all, architecture! Jolly good show, Waldermar-watching from Wyoming. Thanks for the whole series!🌹
Wren had better taste than the clergy. Magnificence over iconoclasm. Kudos to him for getting his original design built.
Love this guy. Reminds me of my AH professor. Which I then went on to get my Masters in.
