Magnificent!
npvarley28 February 2021
This is a glorious three part exploration of one of the greatest periods of human art and culture. Waldy is a great presenter, so full of interesting information which is presented in his own inimitable style.

He is not afraid to contradict the ideas and interpretations of the art establishment and sheds new light on some of the greatest artists of the Baroque period.

This is highly recommended!

As Much About the History as the Art

Before watching this series if you had put me in a room of Baroque paintings I would have quickly been looking for the exit, but not anymore. Waldemar's straightforward presentation style is so engaging that he makes any subject easy to follow.

In this series he not only explains what each artwork or building is trying to convey, but he also gives an account of their often fascinating historical contexts. Mix these explanations with his enthusiasm for the artistry and suddenly the subject becomes so interesting and accessible.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to expand their art horizons, or indeed anyone interested in the general history of this period.
