Forty-eight lectures of thirty minutes each by William Kloss, independent art historian with Smithsonian Associates, the Smithsonian Institution.
The development of the arts in Europe from the Middle Ages to the modern era is an astonishing record of cultural achievement, from the breathtaking architecture of Gothic cathedrals to the daring visual experiments of the Cubist painters. We all have our favorite artists, periods, or styles from this immensely rich tradition, but how many of us truly know the full sweep of European art? How many of us can connect the dots of influences and inspiration that link the Renaissance with Mannerism, or that tie the paintings of the creator of modern art, Edouard Manet, to masterpieces from centuries earlier? These lectures feature more than 850 images of drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures, and architecture, beginning with the age of Charlemagne through the onset of World War II.

Meh submitted by rsbrown on June 24, 2016, 9:43pm Too many altar pieces and religious art at the beginning. And an incredible lack of female artists. Don't think there was even one mentioned.
