“A Narrative Art History of the Renaissance" tells the story of European Renaissance art from about 1250 to 1610 in a continuous chronological narrative. Season 1 will focus on the 16th century, covering the period 1469 to 1610 in seven chapters with an introduction.
This lecture series aims to present Renaissance art in coherent context rather than as a disconnected collection of facts and artworks to be memorized. The focus here is not on individual artworks - although in-depth analyses of specific works are featured, too - but on the bigger picture of the Renaissance, including cross-cultural influences and artistic dialogues. It assumes little to no background in art history.
In this season:
Chapter 0 - Season 1 Introduction: Renaissance Florence, ca. 1460
Chapter 1 - The Dawn of the High Renaissance, 1469-1520
Chapter 2 - Stylistic Synthesis in the High Renaissance, 1500-1527
Chapter 3 - The Reformation, 1500-1550
Chapter 4 - New Landscapes, New Genres, 1500-1569
Chapter 5 - Mannerism: the Art of Artifice, 1520-1569
Chapter 6 - The Evolving European Taste: Image and Patronage, 1527-1600
Chapter 7 - Dawn of the Baroque: Reverberations of Renaissance and Reformation, 1575-1610

This video is nothing short of brilliant. You speak to the audience as if they're new to art but not idiots (which is much appreciated) and your knack for storytelling, weaving in and out the sociopolitical and religious tensions inspiring the works we see today shows a mastery of crafting an educational narrative. Videos like these are the reason why KZbin can be so great. Thank you for educating (and giving me a much-needed brush up!) on the high Renaissance.

[@womenwotreads]

This is the best video I've watched on the artist's of the Renaissance. It's so informative, intersecting and has explained things I didn't know . Could you not keep going through the centuries to the present day? 😀

[@RobCoghanable]

I can hear the smile when referring to Michelangelo’s nature.

[@danlight2684]

Top shelf. A truly masterful presentation that balances biography, political context of the times, and analysis of the artworks. An exquisite exploration of one of the most remarkable cultural periods in the West.

I like the finished "Mona Lisa" with the columns in the background so much more than the known work. Interesting. Thanks!

8.38,There is a super dark figure on the left of this poor gal, it even has an ET almond eye. The figure is cut in half, it is all slim waist, large shoulder, with the arm in the tree. That is super, horribly dark. I can't unsee it. If you cover the left eye of the girl, her left is looking at you, it is the right eye that is looking away. it is also in a painting recently thought to be by him, of himself, that I watched a doco about. 13.53, the woman's hand is enormous and somewhat masculine, not suiting her at all. The Isleworth Mona is utterly gorgeous. Why does Leonardo's lifelong companion and also a painter, never get spoken about.

What a sad state of affairs when we must caution about nudity in discussions on Renaissance art! How utterly politically correct and miserable.

[@gavinreid2741]

The church at the time disapproved of nudity. Some of Michelangelos paintings were censored.

[@spbname8121]

@@gavinreid2741Yes, but you refer to the vandalism committed by " Il Braghetonne" to the Last Judgment way back in 1565. I am referring to the snowflakes of today.

[@gavinreid2741]

@@spbname8121 not much has changed.

[@RoxanneM-]

@@gavinreid2741it has changed a lot, but we have a big group of very ignorant philistine citizens who have never seen renaissance paintings and live in a bubble of superstitious religious fundamentalism. I guess we are too big to care to educate and maintain a civil environment for all.
