The Great Myths Of The Renaissance (Waldemar Januszczak Documentary)

[@johnmcclellan9020]

No one is as original and imaginative as Waldemar when it comes to dry art history. He holds you captive and never lets you go on his fascinating look at the history of art.

[@Fablevill]

I wish university art history courses were this interesting. I took art history in high school and it was so colorless and bland, it focused more on architecture which is all good but it's just one pillar holding up the subject. My friend took art history in college, and she said it was all pretentious fluffy talk on the part of the professors who handed out tests meant to inflate their egos more than teach history. This stuff is fascinating? I feel like art history and culture studies should be an mandatory class... at least it would be more useful than PE.

I never want him to stop talking. He's got the greatest voice and diction.

Met nadruk op dry,ja wat leert men op school goed luisteren en kijken, maar waren zij dan de ware leraren of kom men het ook op andere manieren het leren hoe men de wereld moet bekijken ,ja mijn levenslessen leerde ik zeker op een andere manier te betrachten en vaak leerde ik dat mijn vertrouwen in mensen eigelijk te groot was en dat was zeker teleurstellend zelfs gisteren nog moest ik het besluit nemen om fiks wat stappen terug te nemen het was zeker al een hele tijd dat ik dacht dat vriendschap veel kan hebben maar nee dat was blijkbaar van een kant die er zo erover dacht en dat was ik ,ondanks ik het al heel lang wist maar men moet eerst ook zichzelf ervan overtuigen dus vaak mijn voelsprieten moeten gebruiken en mijn gevoel bleef steeds haken op een punt van onraad ,met verdriet moest ik de knoop doorhakken en dat was gisteren zo zie je maar weer Waldemar men blijft op school heel je leven leer je levenslessen maar niettemin vind ik historie het verbeeldend vermogen een terugweg of met terugwerkende krachten uit het verleden beeldhouwkunst of schilders echt interessant zeker die het presenteerde ,ook al vind hij mij een van de slechtste leerlingen van zijn klas blijft dat beeldend figuur mij fascineren maar nu met al dat gekronkel zelfs gedacht als domme puber ( wel belegen😅) de Margriet bloemblaadjes eruit te trekken en zeggen ja / nee ja/nee maar durfde het niet bang voor het eindresultaat dus laat ik de Margriet haar blaadjes voorlopig nog houden ,ook zonder deze bloem marteling denk ik de uitkomst wel te kennen ,ben zelf het lijdend voorwerp 😔

Besides the fact, that our host, Waldemar Januszczak is a brilliant lecturer, it is his vocabulary and inflection which lend so much verve, humor and vigor to the experience of bathing in the history of Western Art. His down to earth approach wraps its tentacles lovingly around you and you have no choice but to join in with him, and jump up and down like a child in a toy / candy store. This is how one teaches. Thank you. Oh yes, and don't forget: "...and try to forget she's wearing 2000 dead squirrels"! He may as well have said, "...try not to think of pink elephants"! Priceless! An especially warm thanks to Waldemar, for ending this episode with one of my heroes, Albercht Durer.

Now after reading that book I realized that I was ignorant and now would have to spend more time in 15 and 16 century section at the MET, and this film definitely confirms it.

The term "flemish Primitives" is a translation of the french " Les Primitifs flamands", by which is indicated that they were the first to paint in that style. IT has nothing to do with an appreciation of the quality of the art itself

Perhaps that is true. But then the term gets adopted by a bunch of Anglaise, very few of whom have any appreciation for anything that precedes the Italian Renaissance, and who are very aware of the connotation. So his point remains "valid", it seems to me.

As an artist, I would like to say a huge thank you to this documentary. It was presented in such a concise and objective way. So often, the documentary's "experts" seek to impose their personal *opinions* about art, as if their assessments were dictated down to them from God. Their arrogance can often curdle fresh milk. Not this time. It was informative and entertaining, showing us a fresh side of the Renaissance movement.

[@adamadams6740]

[@genustinca5565]

I know it makes for an entertaining narrative in this documentary, but I would like to note that the term 'primitive' to designate the Flemish Primitives does not refer to a perceived lack of sophistication, but rather identifies the artists as originators of a new tradition in painting ('primitives' as in 'first').

[@Fox-86]

Yeah. You did well to point that out. It's incredible that some people take offense in that. It's not degrading. Looks like they haven't done their homework.

Yes .. and when folks are willfully misusingwords e.g. 'sick' meaning 'good' and so on .. I am surprised we understand anything these days ..Ohh we don't (joke) .. There used to be 'reserved words' and 'symbols' that's all gone to the wall too .. in favour of errr ill-education, anyone's opinion is sort of 'gospel' .. and the very strange idea that all these sytmes and checks and double--checks just get in the way of err thieving, corruption, greed and so on... goooddd jaawwwwwbbb

[@nknatewood8226]

-Genus Tinca: It is *quite doubtful* that the narrator _actually_ means or thinks the Flemish artists of the period are *_'primitive'_* as it was (possibly) implied in the narrative. Rather he uses the term as a _"tongue-in-cheek"_ joke of sorts to indicate that Italians were "offbase" in their thinking by nearly two centuries--- as was pointed out in the description of the stone horse and rider carved on/in the wall of the Bavarian chapel, in opposition to the horse and rider bronze _monster_ to be found in Padua, Italy.

[@Fox-86]

@@nknatewood8226 he meant that the world of art and Italian artists of the time thought of them as "primitive" as in derogatory while it never was the case. As for the "monstrosity" as you say, I guess that's purely subjective on your part. The host comes by as biased and controversial with an axe to grind in regards to the consideration of Italy as being the birthplace of Renaissance or the most influential. I'm not the only one who had that impression. Still enjoyed the show nonetheless.

[@nknatewood8226]

@@Fox-86 : The term _monster_ applied to the Padua bronze of horse and rider is the term used by the narrator, not mine. Agreed that he, the *narrator* , has a decided _axe to grind_ concerning the subject of just _where_ (and _when_ ) the Renaissance began, as is proved by his discussion of St. George slaying the dragon as depicted in Flemish artistic formats, both painting(s) and wooden sculpture.

A fascinating documentary, and I am so pleased that the utterly brilliant Flemish artists, and certainly Van Eyck are given ( to me ) their true and overdue consideration and praise.
