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

    You would never think Rick Steves was only a travel programme maker, however excellent.....this is one of the most informative, intelligent and well thought out programmes on the Renaissance I've ever seen. Extremely impressive.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
