The Renaissance Unchained

Whips, Deaths and Madonnas

S1 E2

Waldemar returns to Italy to trace the Italian Renaissance from its perceived origins with Giotto and takes a look at the importance of religious narrative in Italian art.

Silk, Sex and Sin

S1 E3

Waldemar focuses on Venice and its extraordinary impact on art history. He celebrates color, drama and vitality by looking at the delicate colors of Bellini, the mystery of Giorgione, the splendor of Titian, and the glorious banquets of Veronese.

Hell, Snakes & Giants

S1 E4

Waldemar looks at the surprising climax of the Renaissance as it spiraled into madness and distortion. This was a period full of war, confusion and darkness, which was captured perfectly in the art of Leonardo, Bosch, Arcimboldo and Palissy.
