The Royal Artists: Waldemar's Deep Dive On Holbein, Rubens & Dobson

[@brunosmith6925]

Waldemar's ability to tell a compelling story, and illustrate it with juicy anecdotes, is arguably unparalleled in the art-commentary world. Suddenly, 2-dimensional characters in the art world take on another, and intriguing dimension. I love it.

[@reeree6682]

Perfectly expressed!

[@Geopholus]

Yes Waldemar's excellent programs bring Art to life,... but what happened to the closed captioning? The video is on Holbein and yet his name is repeatedly close captioned as "Hine,".. Tudor becomes "Tuda",... etc etc. Does no intelligent person ever check the closed captioning? and if AI is so great that it can pass the Bar exam, I guess it has it's work cut out for it....

[@adamsmith564]

I say that to myself as I watch all of his stuff.

[@ryandonovan4919]

100% agree. love this shit !

[@WhispersOfWind]

I fully enjoy his commentary and narration, it is truly wonderful.

[@brothajohn]

I love when he talks over his shoulder like we are both there. It’s subtle but it brings you in. He’s excellent.

[@JulieCaptivatedinFl]

Nobody does art better than Waldemar!

[@MoivinSulunker]

What are the names of his writers?

[@MoivinSulunker]

"art better than Waldemar" -- who is comparing art to Waldemar? Nobody does [talking about] art better than does Waldemar.

[@mickisuzanne6796]

I love the way Waldemar literally walks the streets, opens the doors and invites us through places and paintings, pointing out mysteries and explaining symbolisms. Like how glass on a table's edge is a reminder that life is precarious and who knew a lizard was a symbol of old age!

[@SembuaHumpdediddle]

I love the way, wherein you use the word "literally" and actually mean "literally" rather than "metaphorically" as so many other whose digital vocal likenesses Ihave heard.

[@13hansonr]

waldemar is one of art history's most important creators and educators. His knowledge, personality, and breadth are unmatched. Truly one of the greatest gifts of light to art in what feels like a growing hour of darkness.

[@sandradavis9309]

I have watched many of your videos on artists and their art on TV, where there is no 'thumbs up' or 'subscribed' icons. I started watching in January 2024 and now want to let you know of my many hours of delight and laughter at your no-holds-barred analyses and humor. Keep them coming! Luckily I have been to many of these places and taught in high school, so listening to your narrations is a big pleasure for an 86 year old. I give you a big kiss on your cheek.

Thank you Waldemar and team for these unparalleled films. Vivid depth and contextualization bring these artists' achievements to life.

Waldemar a great art historian and captivating teacher. The video quality and direction of these art travelogues is extraordinary as well.

Thank you, Waldemar, for brightening up my day

THANK YOU WALDEMAR ... PERFECT DELIVERY !!!🎉❤🎉❤

[@emmahardesty4330]

A fine trilogy, presented--as we all know--by the best. Life is enhanced by Waldemar's thorough assessments. Plus, now a whole lot more people know of Dobson, and why. Thank you thank you.

[@paulgraf4140]

Hurray! 3 hours of binge watching! 👍👍👍

[@anlaugschreinerberge4588]

The artprograms with Waldemar are amongst my faouvorite times spendt. I am not even a big artknower at all, neither do i paint…and…yeah, I do, unfortuanally have very little knowlegde of art beforehand. I dont remember how i came across them - probably watching something about history, or some Kings and Queens, what are something i could have looked up. Now they are in a neat little folder, and I am so happy if i find one i havent watched earlier - otherwise i have no problem watching the sane ones over and over too. He is the best host! Its such a good time, and i feel so welcomed! Its such a pleasure walikng with Waldemar and enjoy all the beatiful, beautiful fantastic art! And all the stories! And how its told and showed! I totally love every little inch of those programs! ☺️☺️☺️ They give me a nice feeling that stays! I usually watch early in the morning, before i get bothered by anything or anyone, no telephone, no nothing, just me, coffee, cat and Waldemar and all the artist, his timemachine, and all the universes he is able to unlock and show. I havent enjoyed anything so totally and peacefully since i, once upon a time, a very long time when i was about eleven or twelve and first read «the lord of the ring» - not that the two are connectedin any other way, but the way I was and now are totally absorbed by both. 😀☺️ On top of all this - i also learn things - alot of things! Not just of arts - which are so interseting and fun! ❤️🤗 But on history, religion, big personalities and so much about human nature and about life it self! 🙂❤️🌟 Thank you, Thank you to Waldemar, for giving us such gems of some wonderfull videos! 🤗❤️🙂 All the best, and much love from Anlaug in Norway.

[@TonySnow663]

Weldemar never dissapoints is always astonishing, poignant, and highly entertaining.

[@Brian-uy2tj]

The history and symbolism behind the great art of history is fantastic. Waldemar is someone I'd enjoy taking a class from or just going to hear him lecture for an afternoon.

[@PlanttreesMS]

Waldemar, you make the study of art so much fun! Thank you for these lessons, and thank goodness for YT, I can watch them repeatedly to get all the juice out of them.

[@fixxxer1134]

We need Walde-More!! Luv this guy

[@vermillionhugh]

These documentaries are superb, as is WJ. 👏👏👋👍🎨

[@mattlennert]

Waldemar is simply the best at what he does. When I saw that this was going to be three hours I was elated. That's how compelling he is. We learn so much more than "just" about art. Indeed, the human condition remains the same regardless of which century. I will never tire of Waldemar, he could talk about plumbing or mothballs and I would be enthralled.

[@changchi3709]

Yay for long art docus narrated by Waldemar!!!🎉

[@722dabba]

I love this guy. I have watched his vids multiple time to make sure I understanding all the complexity that he so cleverly reveals. And also how much he understand what we ( the viewers) are probably thinking. I hope he knows how much he is appreciated.

[@bastelkiste2242]

This was educational and pleasant. What a great presenter!

[@mikeandkae]

[@vladislavachalei5120]

Nobody like Waldemar! What character, what a mind and eye!

[@astrogoodvibes6164]

As for Dobson, it may not be so important that history has been unkind to him but that he was compelled to record his times in such intimate fashion and great honesty, regardless, that will keep him in good stead for those who appreciate an uncomplicated Englishman's virtues.

[@MrEdWeirdoShow]

Waldy reminds me of one of those (very) few teachers you had in high school where it was actually fun to go to his class. You actually end up learning stuff, and almost feel guilty for enjoying school for a little while. Then later you wonder why most other teachers can't accomplish the same feat. Waldy makes it look so easy. But it ain't.

[@donnamattingly5857]

Exactly what I thinking.

[@DonnaV411]

I love you Waldemar , I can listen to you for hours and never get bored. You are a brilliant educator, you have a gift for communicating. But, don't you think that the main reason we all remember old KHVIII and his "damned wives" is that he publicly executed TWO (out of SIX ) of them? And, maybe Hans had such a great time Chez Moore precisely because he was a Catholic painter, and not a heretic Priest who translated the bible from latin to English so the common people could read it for themselves. I do have a new appreciation for the beauty of Holbein's portraiture thanks to this video. I have not ventured to the Frick in years but I will be paying a visit in the near future. Thank you for your wonderful videos, I hope you do more of them. The world needs to appreciate art more (maybe it will deter bombing the hell out of the planet) and you do such a great job.

[@mtngrl5859]

Fascinating video! Loved all of the quotes that Waldemar ripped out re Rubens, yes he's had his critics over the years. Regarding Dobson, didn't know of this artist before, his work is really excellent.

[@paulsharp2565]

Waldemar Januszczak is spot on when he calls Holbein's sketches of More's family 'astonishingly vivid'. The sketch of More's son, John, in a quiet, contemplative pose, at 15:25 enthralled me. A complete stranger from all those years ago, suddenly alive in my living room in 2024. How little he knew that all these years later he would be viewed by hundreds of thousands of people on KZbin.

[@mcnultyfp]

In Waldemar's "fragmentary remains of a shadowy lute player," in the background of Dobson's Unknown Musician, I think first of all he's describing me, and probably quoting Robert Graves. Thank you once again, Waldemar, for all your marvelous scholarship.

Now I love Ruben’s, as I already loved Holbein. Thank you.

[@davidwright8432]

Thanks again, , Waldemar! I've learned so much, and had so much fun, with your videos. But really - Blake wasn't wrong in seeing more than might be expected of Rubens' palette as - um - excremental in tones! Used of course in the best possible taste, as one would of course expect!

Ruthless and bloodthirsty times. There are those that clearly want to return us there, sadly. As of Nov 2023, in some parts of the world, this has already happened. Let's hope that beautiful history lessons like this, can make to consider how becoming evangelical about "good guys and bad guys" can help us to avoid such a fundamental human error.

[@sanniepstein4835]

Let's leave politics out of this, please.

[@s.v.2796]

I agree with Waldemar's assessment of Cromwell. He was abominable. Thomas Moore was a victim of both Cromwell and Henry VIII. The first time I visited the Alte Pinakothek and was confronted with a wall of Rubens I was disgusted. As I grew older and learned more...I understood him to be an amazing artist. (Much of that is due to Waldemore's brilliant lessons.) Additionally, there are so very many different artists and incredible styles it's difficult, or impossible, to choose a favorite. Just like I cannot choose a favorite author.

I am an American over 67 years old with a strong background. I greatly desire to understand a British phrase that I assume is not simply due to habit. What does the phrase "delightfully British soup song" mean in 17th-century England? I enjoyed watching your great video "The Royal Artists: Waldemar's Deep Dive On Holbein, Rubens & Dobson | Perspective." I truly enjoyed it. It touched on a multitude of things I am very interested in. Art, history, and the monarchy. Thank You!?., Please help me understand so that the story will be more complete.
