What would you rather do: watch a 2h long, $300m Marvel movie, or listen to Waldemar talking about Art für 3 hours straight?

Waldemar's ability to tell a compelling story, and illustrate it with juicy anecdotes, is arguably unparalleled in the art-commentary world. Suddenly, 2-dimensional characters in the art world take on another, and intriguing dimension. I love it.

Yes Waldemar's excellent programs bring Art to life,... but what happened to the closed captioning? The video is on Holbein and yet his name is repeatedly close captioned as "Hine,".. Tudor becomes "Tuda",... etc etc. Does no intelligent person ever check the closed captioning? and if AI is so great that it can pass the Bar exam, I guess it has it's work cut out for it....

I fully enjoy his commentary and narration, it is truly wonderful.

I love the way Waldemar literally walks the streets, opens the doors and invites us through places and paintings, pointing out mysteries and explaining symbolisms. Like how glass on a table's edge is a reminder that life is precarious and who knew a lizard was a symbol of old age!

I love the way, wherein you use the word "literally" and actually mean "literally" rather than "metaphorically" as so many other whose digital vocal likenesses Ihave heard.

waldemar is one of art history's most important creators and educators. His knowledge, personality, and breadth are unmatched. Truly one of the greatest gifts of light to art in what feels like a growing hour of darkness.

Weldemar never dissapoints is always astonishing, poignant, and highly entertaining.

Thank you, Waldemar, for brightening up my day

Waldemar a great art historian and captivating teacher. The video quality and direction of these art travelogues is extraordinary as well.

We need Walde-More!! Luv this guy

Hurray! 3 hours of binge watching! 👍👍👍

A fine trilogy, presented--as we all know--by the best. Life is enhanced by Waldemar's thorough assessments. Plus, now a whole lot more people know of Dobson, and why. Thank you thank you.

These documentaries are superb, as is WJ. 👏👏👋👍🎨

Yay for long art docus narrated by Waldemar!!!🎉

C’est toujours passionnant... on ne voit pas temps passer. Merci !

This was educational and pleasant. What a great presenter!

Great documentary. Waldemar really tells it in a comprehensible and interesting way. 👍

The history and symbolism behind the great art of history is fantastic. Waldemar is someone I'd enjoy taking a class from or just going to hear him lecture for an afternoon.

Nobody like Waldemar! What character, what a mind and eye!

This is just wonderful. I thought I knew something about Holbein--I was wrong. Looking forward to watching the next 2 parts.

As for Dobson, it may not be so important that history has been unkind to him but that he was compelled to record his times in such intimate fashion and great honesty, regardless, that will keep him in good stead for those who appreciate an uncomplicated Englishman's virtues.

I love this guy. I have watched his vids multiple time to make sure I understanding all the complexity that he so cleverly reveals. And also how much he understand what we ( the viewers) are probably thinking. I hope he knows how much he is appreciated.

Waldermar, I could watch and listen to you for hours! Much love, babe😀

Waldy reminds me of one of those (very) few teachers you had in high school where it was actually fun to go to his class. You actually end up learning stuff, and almost feel guilty for enjoying school for a little while. Then later you wonder why most other teachers can't accomplish the same feat. Waldy makes it look so easy. But it ain't.

Exactly what I thinking.

Omg, Waldemar, I didnt think I would see you again!!!❤

In Waldemar's "fragmentary remains of a shadowy lute player," in the background of Dobson's Unknown Musician, I think first of all he's describing me, and probably quoting Robert Graves. Thank you once again, Waldemar, for all your marvelous scholarship.

So good to see your work again Waldemar. 😊

This man is just outstanding - there’s no Art Historian like him!

I wholeheartedly agree with the comments vis-a-vis Waldemar’s ability to tell a compelling story, etc .. he’s all of that and with a keen sense of humor! A delight to enjoy.

I learned SO MUCH from this fascinating set of documentaries! Thanks!

I really like these art performances, thank you very much 🙂🎉❤

Hooray! Waldemar! Where have you been?

"Perspective" offers an unparalleled arts channel, showcasing a global array of art. It provides insightful and informative content, featuring a rich tapestry of colors, depths, and a historical expanse covering centuries of artistry. Waldemar excels as a storyteller, blending humor with realism to reveal the art and true lives of the individuals behind the world's most renowned and obscure artworks. Thank you.

i love you Waldemar! what a description of Samson and Delilah from the great Rubens painting. thank you sir!

Wonderful art, wonderful Performance,thank you so much😮

Waldemar you have an amazing sense of humour, among many other virtues, you make art very interesting. Thank you.

When I went to Gymnasium in Germany gazillion years ago I had a professor who taught History in connection with famous writers, poets, composers, musicians and painters. This intertwining of such with History made it so interesting and more alive as well as unforgettable. But Waldemar tops this teacher by far with his animated " stories" . He keeps me spellbound and has me chuckle often. 🔥 damn, what a teacher.

Now I love Ruben’s, as I already loved Holbein. Thank you.

Fascinating video! Loved all of the quotes that Waldemar ripped out re Rubens, yes he's had his critics over the years. Regarding Dobson, didn't know of this artist before, his work is really excellent.

You, Sir. Are my favorite Art, History, Religion and Politics narrator.

the one and only! Waldy!, outstanding! Anchora!

Waldemar Januszczak is spot on when he calls Holbein's sketches of More's family 'astonishingly vivid'. The sketch of More's son, John, in a quiet, contemplative pose, at 15:25 enthralled me. A complete stranger from all those years ago, suddenly alive in my living room in 2024. How little he knew that all these years later he would be viewed by hundreds of thousands of people on KZread.

I love you Waldemar , I can listen to you for hours and never get bored. You are a brilliant educator, you have a gift for communicating. But, don't you think that the main reason we all remember old KHVIII and his "damned wives" is that he publicly executed TWO (out of SIX ) of them? And, maybe Hans had such a great time Chez Moore precisely because he was a Catholic painter, and not a heretic Priest who translated the bible from latin to English so the common people could read it for themselves. I do have a new appreciation for the beauty of Holbein's portraiture thanks to this video. I have not ventured to the Frick in years but I will be paying a visit in the near future. Thank you for your wonderful videos, I hope you do more of them. The world needs to appreciate art more (maybe it will deter bombing the hell out of the planet) and you do such a great job.

The distorted skull is GENIUS

I agree with Waldemar's assessment of Cromwell. He was abominable. Thomas Moore was a victim of both Cromwell and Henry VIII. The first time I visited the Alte Pinakothek and was confronted with a wall of Rubens I was disgusted. As I grew older and learned more...I understood him to be an amazing artist. (Much of that is due to Waldemore's brilliant lessons.) Additionally, there are so very many different artists and incredible styles it's difficult, or impossible, to choose a favorite. Just like I cannot choose a favorite author.

I absolove love it when he rips up the " opinions "!!

LOVE this guy......makes art real....

sztuka ma Januszczaka, kuchnia ma Makłowicza- art has Januszczak cuisine - Makłowicz. Good and knowlegable story tellers.

Hi Waldemar. Another brilliant documentary!! Well done! You’re a star! I am now at the 3rd time of watching all your documentaries on KZread so please keep producing new ones! I am just back from the Louvre in Abu Dhabi and was good but nothing like the real Louvre, so you might do a documentary there and give your expert opinion! Thanks for many hours of great entertainment and education! Are you doing any lectures?

Waldemar shall go down as one of the greats.

Thanks for posting

THANK GOD FOR WALDEMAR THE MIGHTY!!

Ruthless and bloodthirsty times. There are those that clearly want to return us there, sadly. As of Nov 2023, in some parts of the world, this has already happened. Let's hope that beautiful history lessons like this, can make to consider how becoming evangelical about "good guys and bad guys" can help us to avoid such a fundamental human error.

War not so much "erupted" as "was fomented by agents of families who came out of Venice"?

What's the name of the background music during the first 40 minutes? The soft traditional instrumental with a female singer.

Can you all talk about the Artists and not about Waldemar? Holbein is a genius quite unmatched.

Henry sent a letter to (I think it was) parents of Mary of Guise, asking for her, and stating that he liked her height. Maybe I saw it reproduced in the LOC. He was rejected.

Why was Johannes van der Meer called "Jan" and Johannes Holbein called "Hans"?
