According to Giorgio Vasari, the first art historian, the Renaissance was centred on a revival of interest in classical art that began and flourished in Italy. Waldemar disagrees, and accuses Vasari of errant jingoism. In fact, the most significant early developments in Renaissance art took place not in Italy, but in the ‘barbarian’ lands of Flanders and Germany. Instead of understanding the Renaissance as a return to classical models, we should see it as a climax of medieval values - an epoch of huge religious passions and powerful human emotions. The series will celebrate material that is new to television. Waldemar will include art that is not usually thought of as Renaissance art. This will involve 're-classifying' what is sometimes called Late Gothic, and showing it off as a marvellous and native artistic tradition, particularly in the remarkable field of polychrome sculpture. On top of all the new art to be introduced, Waldemar will also look from fresh and intriguing angles at many of the established Renaissance giants, including Michelangelo in the Vatican, Leonardo in the Louvre, Botticelli in the Uffizi and Van Eyck in Ghent.

看完美第奇教父来到了这里 喜欢主持人的风格
拍得很不错，讲解得也极为生动，均为实地拍摄。第一集打破了《艺苑名人传》对于艺术家的偏见，赞扬尼德兰艺术家的成就，北方文艺复兴绘画以油画为多，展现戏剧性、动作和黑暗；第二集则集中分析了意大利文艺复兴艺术品；第三集介绍了融汇东西的威尼斯艺术，其还被时人寄托了宗教的信仰；第四集展示了不少文艺复兴艺术的怪诞之处，并为手法主义正名。介绍了不少有趣的有关文艺复兴的干货，尼德兰画作里常出现凸面镜、亚当和夏娃的故事因是唯一可以展现裸体的题材而火爆、圣母题材受欢迎则是因为人们可以向其祈祷、文艺复兴的圣婴貌丑是因为画家试图捕捉其成人后的样子、玻璃出现于不少威尼斯画家的作品里、玛丽·抹大拉的故事有不少是被后世张冠李戴的……与其为文艺复兴戴上追随古希腊罗马艺术的高帽，不如肯定其是一次试图放飞想象力、表达情感的尝试。
因为罗马之行，相当沉迷文艺复兴。
