Thank you so much Ken for this incredible lesson. I took notes wich i will refer later. I had so much fun learning all the concepts tied with all those arts movements, especially Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism, and Romanticism. Its almost like i have a new world to explore. Thanks for reigniting the "How did they do this or that ?". The history of art, of Man is truly fascinating. Thank you for the wonderful journey !

Absolutely huge effort to cover so much history in such a short time. Unsurprisingly, a few factual errors slip in—I highlight them here not as criticism, but to help clarify for future viewers. The fall of Constantinople in 1453 did indeed lead to an influx of Greek scholars and classical texts into Italy, but the Renaissance was already well underway by then. While this migration enriched the movement, it was not its origin. Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, ruled France for a remarkable 72 years—the longest verified reign of any monarch in history. However, he was neither married to Marie Antoinette nor involved in the French Revolution; he died in 1715. The monarch overthrown during the Revolution was Louis XVI. The most striking (although completely understandable) error however was describing Jean-Paul Marat merely as a philosopher. In truth, he is most significantly a radical and incendiary journalist whose writings called for violence and significantly influenced the Reign of Terror. His near-deification after his assassination was a political move, in part to justify the revolutionary brutality of the time, and it has colored his legacy ever since and helped rehabilitate him. I'm genuinely enjoying the content and hope this input is taken in good faith! I have learnt so much and your enthusiasm and ambition in tackling such a huge topic is amazing.

Amazing stuff! But the third lesson is not available as it says "Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here." :(((

Emily Fossum

Oh my gosh... I didn't realize you had your slides on here too! You're my hero! Totally going to use some of them with my high school class! Yay!!

Mario Russo

Loved the lessons especially the art history. In a sense, one could say art have always been used as political tool in a way or another not just neoclassic and beyond, right?

Best lecture on short art history overview that puts everything on its places! Thank you! (Now i became curious about american art history, how did art was developing here, and how Europe influenced it )

William

Well done! Especially the part about the confusing banality of Pop Art. I never knew why I was looking at it.
