Episode 1 • Feb 14, 2016
Gods, Myths and Oil Paints
Waldemar Januszczak challenges the idea of the Renaissance having fixed origins in Italy and showcases the ingenuity in both technique and ideas behind great artists such as Van Eyck, Memling, Van dear Weyden, Cranach, Riemenschneider and Durer.
Episode 2 • Feb 21, 2016
Whips, Deaths and Madonnas
Waldemar returns to Italy to trace the Italian Renaissance from its perceived origins with Giotto and takes a look at the importance of religious narrative in Italian art. While there were certainly a few aesthetic influences from classical art, the majority of Italian painting and sculpture in the 14th and 15th centuries was created to inspire devotion.
Episode 3 • Feb 28, 2016
Silk, Sex and Sin
Waldemar focuses on Venice and its extraordinary impact on art history. He celebrates color, drama and vitality by looking at the delicate colors of Bellini, the mystery of Giorgione, the splendour of Titian, the drama and chaos of Tintoretto and the glorious banquets of Veronese.
Episode 4 • Mar 06, 2016
Hell, Snakes and Giants
In the final episode Waldemar looks at the surprising climax of the Renaissance as it spiralled into madness and distortion. This was a period full of war, confusion and darkness, which was captured perfectly in the art of Leonardo, Bosch, Arcimboldo, Palissy, the Italian Mannerists and El Greco.
