18:05 Value and function in art history
“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.

    Absolutely wonderful! A well presented art video with its clear and concise information of each painting. The accompanying sound track is lovely as well. Looking forward to your series, thank you.

    16:15 wonderful detail - one can clearly see the superb Renaissance, layered-drawing process. Took my breath away. Great presentation, very relaxing (for me, anyways) to really "look at" a painting in-depth (since museum guards hardly allow anyone to observe such at close range). Look very forward to watching more chapters, especially the "cross-cultural influences and artistic dialogues" ~

    great series, idk why you have had likes disabled on the whole series. You've put in a lot of effort to put this out there. i'm sure you'd have got a a few dislikes like every video but you should have kept them enabled. but it's your channel so what ever suits you. thanks for producing this series.

    Thanks for watching! I didn’t intend to do that and didn’t know they were disabled. I’ll figure out how to turn them on.

    I agree the narrator's style is disturbing and annoying.
