Decoding Caravaggio's Artistic Rebellion | Perspective

He gives YouTube art lovers the absolute best documentaries. I love his analysis & his sense of humor. He's the best!

I love art history, but Waldemar Januszczak is the master of the outstanding presentation of masterpieces. We not only learn, we understand. Fantastic job on showing us Rome, the beautiful Caravaggio. Thank you so much!

I love Caravaggio. One of my favorite painters. So very dramatic and real. I can imagine going to these churches and viewing the paintings for the first time must have been a jaw dropping experience for the 17th century art lover. Never had anything like this been seen before. The drama. The light. And the amazingly real characters that populate Caravaggio's paintings looked like somebody you might pass on the street. It must have been a spectacle of unequaled proportions.

I’d watch a 59 minute YouTube video about paint drying if Waldemar were the host.

Mr. Januszczak is an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to

Waldemar, Caravagio definitely pulled you into the picture...Bachus looks like YOU! Love every one of your presentations. Bravo!

This is absolutely incredible. An amazingly sensitive and perceptive analysis

Among all the Perspectives that I've seen . This undoubtedly is the so well studied, fully knowledgeable of the great Painter Caravaggio. It's been so well masterfully narrated that each word was awaited . Excellent thanks so much for this beautiful documentary on Art.

One of the most powerful documentarys I Have seen in the past year. Thank you

Waldeman! I'm so happy you have created this "Perspective" channel on youtube. I have skirted about hulu and amazon for years trying to catch you. I have never seen any of the short pieces you've filmed; and having a binging blasts.

The host is perfect for this job.

That vase in the foreground: the way the light is painted, is stunning. At a purely technical level, I think it's the most successfully realized part of the scene. As for the lizard, when I first saw this picture, even after looking hard, I said, 'What lizard?' Ah.OK. That lizard.

Waldi's narrations are captivating, visceral and addictive!

Waldemar is matchless as a narrator for art. I deliberately go scoping out all art documentaries with Waldemar running the show. For me, if it's not Waldemar or Simon Schama doing the talking...I say "No, thanks," and keep looking.

I feel lot of sympathy for this great artist. Such talent and yet, such a harsh life he lived! Excellent documentary!!

Caravaggio's Masterpiece is a reflection of our time. It is proof that some things never change.

Seeing the Carravagio Bachhus in real life, is disturbing and exhilarating. Carravagio makes him feel like a corrupting, threatening presence. I was with my daughter and felt protective towards her with him there! That Gorgon shield is legitimately terrifying too. So completely three-dimensional that you feel like edging away without turning your back on it!

Waldemar Januszczak is painfully missed. The aesthetic insights he expresses are dazzling profundities, that miraculously unfold. Not to see him in fresh new Perspective offerings is a serious travesty. The agonizing loss of his presence in new offerings is another frightening blow for the yearning of the masses. Humanizing gestures of artistic perceptions can liberate by his unpretentious persona. Waldemar Januszczak has the capacity to inform with wonder, sensitivity, and generosity of spirit, that entertains while uplifting his audience, to the lofty realm that only art can provide. My thanks to the producers of Perspective for seeing his genius.

Caravaggio, he is one of my favorite artists,love every video that is made ,thank you
