Episodes
Gods, Myths and Oil Paints
Waldemar challenges the idea that the renaissance began ion Italy and showcases talent and ideas from other areas of the world.
Whips, Deaths and Madonnas
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. While there were certainly a few aesthetic influences from classical art, the majority of Italian painting and sculpture in the 14th and 15th centuries was created to inspire devotion, especially in the work of Piero della Francesca, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael and Fra Angelico.

Hell, Snakes and Giants
Waldemar looks at the surprising climax of the Renaissance which soon spiraled into madness.
