I’ve watched this documentary so many times I can’t count. I’ve seen all his documentaries and this man has inspired me to explore so many different facets of art I absolutely love him for enlightening me❤

[@pooryorick831]

I know. I have been an armchair art historian for 40 years. No one engages the viewer and keeps it interesting the way Waldemar does. He tells the story in a way even those encountering art for the first time can appreciate. But he also provides enough information that even those of us who have read many books on art can still learn from them.

A real treat, a whole Baroque in one finger tip. I don't know that anyone has brought art and history closer to an ordinary man like Waldemar did

[@westho7314]

A treat indeed, no one in my humble jumble of experience brings art & history closer to us than Waldemar does. A universal translator of time and space painting and forming expressions & observations with words so seamlessly woven into wonderous content. Connecting us with the past through the present & leaving us with anticipation even a yearning for more of this medium in the future. The whole Waldemar series is epic, a pearl, a precious treasure, a timely portfolio of shared knowledge that lets us drift into cultural curiosity for a couple of full hours. Instead of the usual 15 minute YT video packed with repetitious filler.

[@joseffinat966]

Ik hou er ook van ,toch vind ik die ene onvolkomen parel het mooist ,ja vraag maar waarom 😄 ik zal het verklappen God zag dat het goed was juist ook de onvolkomenheden want het is aan ons het te vervolmaken net zoiets als een ruwe diamant en op het eind beschouwt hij of alle facetten die glans geeft waar hij van houd ,niet dat men zegt zie je wel verkeerde schepping ( apen) maar gewoon briljant van hem, om ons de kans te geven er iets moois van te maken elkaar aanvullen alles in stand houden ,alles te behouden zonder dat men ten koste van andere mensenlevens het te vervolmaken,ach wat zullen zij misschien wel zeggen ,maar zo voel ik het de karakters zijn onze slijpfacetten hoe mooier deze facetten worden hangt van ons allen af ,wat doen wij elkaar aan in het goede of in het kwade zin ,gaat men voorzichtig met elkaar om hoe mooier deze karakter facetten worden ,dus die ene parel die op onvolkomenheden lijkt is wat men noemt zo geslepen door stroming in de mensenwereld en dat schuurt soms ook ,tranen van zout of kreukels in het gezicht van lachrimpels , of diepe rimpels van het fronsen van jezelf afvragen doe ik het goed ,dus zo gezegd heeft denk ik , God het juist gemaakt omdat hij zich nooit vergist kan hebben ,hij die volmaakt is geeft mij een diepe respect voor alles wat leeft , zo wat voor facet zal het vandaag worden hopelijk een hele mooie 🤗

[@victoriagonzalez5774]

And that's exactly what these pearls are called, Baroque pearls, as I have coincidentally been looking at pearls to purchase recently and have been looking at different types. I think that the Baroque style is quite quirky, more depth of character, I like it a lot, probably because I am difficult and a little out of shape!

[@benjaminsavage4204]

I have to laugh, because its kind of my fourth too. (I think) I started watching the other night when I was having trouble sleeping. I'd watch some, drift off, wake up, rewind to where I thought I fell asleep and kept doing this all night. I figured i watched all of it three timea during that. Now I'm watching again, hopefully with more attention tonight because this doc, this subject, and presenter deserve it. Also, I want more info on the Cabal of Naples!

[@michaelburgess9707]

Thought you might delve more into the Bernini/Borromini rivalry as they are the undisputed masters of the Baroque. Bernini's, Fountain of the Four Rivers was Borromini's idea as it sits in front of the magnificent church he designed in Piazza Navona, Church of Sant'Agnese. The St. Peter's Baldacchino was also mostly Borromini's idea while working with Maderno before Bernini usurped his ideas and lastly look at the two staircases in the Palazzo Barberini, one by Borromini and the other by Bernini. Love your videos, thanks.

[@jcleivaamoros]

Extraordinary, couldn´t stop watching all at once....THANK YOU

[@darrendazcox]

Waldemar is awesome!! It's important to note that even in this modern age the experts are still revising the history of people like Caravaggio as our intrepid narrator stated. I would like to crack the door of our imagination open a little to suggest that Bernini and company did not actually build all these magnificent buildings but instead built upon the ruins of the past civilization that vanished. There is much tangential evidence in terms of maps and artifacts that suggest our history was indeed changed and that the previous civilization was far more technologically advanced than we give them credit for. I would also like to suggest, for purposes of intellectual discussion rather than be offensive that while our religions have defined our culture we don't have anything but our individual faith and the artifacts to validate them. It is possible that the religious symbols and characters are no more real than the characters in Star Wars but represent many things of cold hard science, for example the shape of the cross and the giant pine cone - all have alternate meanings in physics and biology. It would be quite difficult to gather the money and talent needed to build just the Vatican these days and yet somehow they did it all across the world even in places with tiny populations - the builders of old could erect a cathedral in a mere 3 years and we can't even renovate one in that time these days it seems. We had electric powered dirigibles before the Wright brothers and electric powered cars before the 1900s even started (just look it up if you don't believe me). Whatever the truth actually is doesn't jive with the timeline of history as presented. This is why I love it when an expert like our main man Waldemar can say "we aren't exactly sure but.."

[@YorkyOne]

What past civilisation that vanished? Prior to the building of the Baroque St Peter's there stood Constantine the Great's 4th century Old St Peter's Basilica - the Roman Civilisation. Nothing unknown about it. And 3 years to build a cathedral! Really?

I've just been getting into art in history and it is gorgeous seeing the architecture and hearing the dramatic, epic masterpieces that give color to documentaries such as these. As a child there were a few things my grandparents showed me that were of interest. Now at 35 I really do appreciate seeing those things that I considered boring.
