Rick Steves Art of the Renaissance

Rick Steves' Europe © 2023 | Around 1400, Europe rediscovered the aesthetics of ancient Greece and Rome. This rebirth of classical culture showed itself in the statues, paintings, and architecture of Florence, then spread to Spain, Holland, Germany, and beyond. The Renaissance-from art-loving popes to Leonardo’s Mona Lisa and Michelangelo’s David-celebrated humanism and revolutionized how we think about our world.  Find names and locations for works of art listed in the script at www.ricksteves.com/watch-read... #ricksteves #rickstevesart #arthistory

Thank you so much for bringing this period of art history to life for us, Rick Steves! I've been fortunate to explore many of these places and witness some of these artistic treasures firsthand. However, your insightful commentary elevates the experience to a whole new level, thereby further enriching my memories!

[@mattc2094]

Great to see you back in Florence Rick! 👏🏼 Your travel presentations are unequaled - your warm friendly rapport, plus well scripted and well researched presentations are simply excellent. Thankyou! Your videos bring joy to my day 🙂

[@rickyspeople]

A fantastic and illuminating program, as always. I am once again reminded that the revolution will be patronized. Thank you Rick!

[@artysnowbird1175]

Thank you for keeping the history of art alive and vibrant! My instructor on art history in the late 1060s, Rupert Kilgore. Brought it to life for me! He connected the artists, the times, the influences, society, technology. All of it contributed to the amazing result. When I finally got to see the sculpture of David, La Pieta, the Vatican, the art of Florence, in spite of my knowledge, my jaw dropped. It is all more awesome than we can convey with words. Thank you.

[@Ohelojam]

Loved revisiting my European vacations. Well done and Thank you.

[@aeronm9679]

Thank you so much for making episodes like these, especially from the angle of seeing art in Europe. There are so many books and videos about history, but your way is very easy to understand, and combined with your previous travel videos is wonderful. I always watch your videos to decide where to travel, and how to travel, and of course, I buy your guidebooks too. For the art piece you mentioned in the video, can you tell us where is it in the subtitles?

[@sandymandy8599]

[@LdawgHughes]

Michelangelo is said with a soft I like the I in Mickey not like in Michael

[@nathan_p]

One major incorrect aspect that stands out in these videos is the consistent mispronunciation of Michelangelo. It's not "MichAelangelo." Getting an obvious thing wrong makes me question the legitimacy of all else that is being taught.

[@LukeTRandall]

I’m sure you’re fun at parties.

[@nathan_p]

@LukeTRandall OH Ima blast. Especially since I don't have to rely on third grade level insults. When you teach something, you teach it correctly. Otherwise you shouldn't be teaching at all.

[@rootsquare7907]

So can we say west is more of Greeks Roman civilisation rather than judio Christian, Christian and Jews were not even born in Europe. Look at democracy, tolerance for all faith, multiple gods accepted, story telling, liberalism, architecture, drama, paintings, Socratic method, science. Most are greeeko- Roman ideas.

[@78625amginE]

Anyone else feel shook by the last painting? Lol i feel unwell...
