Learning so much ! He is a great teacher. Thank you
Love this show. I decided to spend less time on social and feed my brain instead and this is just a treat. The host is very thoughtful about not rushing things and explaining where it’s going
The 2nd episode is titled, "Fundamentals of Renaissance Painting," so what is it about? Michael Angelo, DaVinci, other great artists of the time? Nope. immediately into women of the Renaissance. if you want to cover this niche topic in a later episode, great, but women of the Renaissance are far from the "Fundamental" movers and shakers. Misleading title and does not provide any overview of fundamentals.

A deep-dive series into fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italy, with a strong focus on how culture, art, and architecture intersect politics and patronage. Episodes frequently explore courtly life, major artists and works, and the ways power, learning, and display were used to shape public image across Italian city-states. Noteworthy strengths include thoughtful cross-topic analysis (patronage, space, and narrative in art), accessible explanations for newcomers, and richly detailed discussions that connect biographical detail to broader cultural contexts. The show stands out for its clear host storytelling, reverent yet approachable tone, and the availability of supplementary visual resources that enhance understanding of the Renaissance wo... more
