Rick Steves Art: Prehistoric and Ancient

Rick Steves' Europe © 2023 | As the Ice Age glaciers melted, European civilization was born - and with it, so was art. From the Stone Age came prehistoric art: mysterious tombs, mighty megaliths, and vivid cave paintings. Then the Egyptians and the Greeks laid the foundations of Western art - creating a world of magical gods, massive pyramids, sun-splashed temples, and ever-more-lifelike statues.

    Excellent documentary, as usual. Bravo and thank you Rick Steves. That reminded me of my History of Art studies ... so long ago but still vivid. Keep enchanting us! Thank you from Paris, France, on which you did a few remarquable documentaries too.

    Prehistoric art always stands as kind-of a stone hard example that survival & art don't contrast, but complement each other. Not just do & did people have the means for it, they explicitly desired or required art. While we often can't say if an individual piece was made for religious, entertainment or informational purpose the totality of prehistoric art was created for all of these reasons.

    I could be wrong but I assume these were originally aired on television networks. I imagine this is why the episodes feel like a race, it's a shame Rick was unable to spend more time and show more work in each country he visited.

    History in this format is extremely condensed. There are other sources on YT about Mesopotamia. It is also condensed. Credit to this format for exposing parts of history most people are not aware of. It sparks interest and imagination.
