How Art Changed The Way We Perceive Jesus Christ (Waldemar Januszczak Documentary)

Waldemar has become my favourite art history teacher!

I used to think I could kick Christ's ass... but now?

Please pray for my family and me

Really? I still perceive him as a delusional idiot who got himself crossed.

Wonderful teacher!

the head of Agnes, worshipped??? such ignorance of Catholic theology... the relics of saints are not worshipped; they are venerated.

The lack of understanding of the historical and religious origins of Christianity and the great art that was born within the heart of the Church is terribly evident here. If you misunderstand the theological context and the religious inspiration of Christian art throughout the ages, you will never understand the images of Christ. Please, do yourself a favor and don't believe every ridiculous and poorly researched "documentary" out there.

oversimplification, anachronisms, and even half-truths...

Thank you for posting this video. Stay safe and healthy
God bless you.

Wow so THAT'S what the 'H' stands for?.... Jesus Harry Potter Christ? Very cool.

Jonah was NOT swallowed by a whale. It was a “great fish.”

IN THE LATER MIDDLE AGES, JESUS MOVED FROM EARLY FORMS OF WORSHIP AND
ART DEPICTION IN THE MIDDLE EAST, TO BECOME MORE "" CONTINENTAL "",
WHICH BROADENED HIS APPEAL TO CIVILIZED EUROPEANS ,,,,,"" FATHER,SON "" ETC!

WALDEMER ADOPT ME WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Trouble is the Empire was already split in two. And at a certain point during Constantine's reign, it had three emperors, Constantine being one of them, in the West. His idea was not to further devide, but rather to reunite the empire under his rule - one emperor, one faith, one church. He did that by killing off the others (one was his brother-in-law) and creating a new centre of power bearing his name and stamp - Constantinople.

Waldemar is a fantastic person

Bro this is entertaining but... 😳 Kinda danbrownish 😁

As a Christian, I am offended by... Constantine and the Empire's appropriation of the religion.

Islam " a joyous and inventive religion !!! " perhaps a thousand years ago , but its lost a lot of ground since then ,

Amen❤️❤️🙏🙏

I enjoy and learn much from Waldemar's documentaries but he consistently misrepresents how Catholics interact with icons and relics - saying that we "worship them" or "pray to them" and that martyrs "had power" and "could change history" - no they don't, and we don't pray to them or their relics, or worship them. The most rudimentary research on Catholic theology would make this very clear!

He keeps saying Jesus must have been blond. But I think it’s more likely that he had dark curly hairlike the people from the Levant

THE TITLE USED HERE IS NOT WHAT IT''S SUPPOSE TO BE, CLICK BAIT, WALLY ?????

We, Catholics didn’t took borrowed the symbolism from them. From Pagans. We have taken from them… 😄
Everything!
Even the Roman Empire…

White Nordic jesus is WOKISM but you would never know it from the Evangelical hypocrites who claim to know what God is and wants...

Waldemar needs to study his Old Testament a bit more. God did not save Jonah from the whale, He PUT him in there !😅

Jesus Christ never existed.

I wonder what the Ethiopian Coptic Christians were doing during this time period?

Good

Dear Waldemar,
I started out learning history in elementary school. Then, in high school, ancient history. Again when I switched schools, I got the same cavalcade from my art teacher. Then again in art college, in my course, A Survey of Western Art...so I sort of went from cave paintings to counter- reformation three times over, and now I have found YOU!
I'm a painter/ sculptor/romantic kind of average schmo, and I just simply love your documentaries.
Is that what you'd call them? Lessons? Lectures with show and tell? Whatever, I can't pull myself away from these. This is my second go- round with this ROTAS installment, and I'm getting even more out of it.
Thank you. It's a wonder to be getting into senior citizen age ( just 6 months shy!) And to be able to so sincerely congratulate a much younger person on a job so well done. I don't know how you ever studied so much, or thought so much about how to house the huge inventory of your knowledge in a package with dramatic structure and accessible narrative. You know, I daresay you have made high- level intellectual learning as easy and consumable as coronation street, or antiques road show, or the baking contests...you are that good!
I hope you don't take offence by the comparison. I think you should host Saturday night Live, or moderate a presidential debate, or be the next Canadian prime minister. That's how high a place I'm putting you. If you were any better, you'd be demi- god.
Way to go, Youngster!

I love this guy!!

This documentary i think it's to attack christianity lol.

There are others that proclaimed to show this art but yours is the best. In fact, one program does it have the first picture the the same as most others?.

It breaks my heart when a being portray as The All Creator who He creates things that can't be portrayed by any being.

- The All Creator
- Things that can't be portrayed by being (ex: heaven)
- Being

There is NO ONE in my life like Jesus. My love for Him is so intense and so calming, that painting out my feelings about Him just feels right. I know people who say any images of Jesus/God are graven images and we shouldn't worship graven images. I agree that we should not worship these created images. My creations are simply visual love songs/homages to my MOST BELOVED. When Jesus said that if His devotees did not sing out their love for Him (Luke 19:40), the stones might cry out, I totally get this. My canvases are simply stones to spill out my feelings upon. They are not graven images to be worshiped.

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mr. Bindo point

I could watch Waldemar talk about anything! He is the best teacher I’ve ever had 😊

Jesus is part of Greek mythology

THERE IS MORE HERE THAN MEETS THE MIND,,,,,,,,,,,EVER,

I love Fairytales

That shirt is top tier 🔥

Fictional character.

a drunk with daddy issues...?

Marvelous video presentation yet again. Singular in so many ways. But, sorry Waldemar, it was the Dark Ages. Stunning art in a tiny handful of prosperous places can't change the fact that it would take us a thousand years to remember Roman basics such as sewer systems, baths, how to create concrete and figure out something to write on other than animal skins. 😂

All drawings, paintings, and sculptures are based on the artist's interpretations.

Providing images of the unseen spirit world.

Waldemar es increible. Llegaron sus documentales a un canal estatal argentino hace años y desde entonces enloqueci con la historia del arte.

Pray for all premature kids to be normal
