Renaissance Unchained - Music from the TV Series

Everyone knows about the Renaissance - it’s that golden period when Italy single-handedly reinvented art... except it isn’t. In fact, the most significant early developments in Renaissance art took place not in Italy, but in the ‘barbarian’ lands of Flanders and Germany.

As his four-part series The Renaissance Unchained, arrives on BBC Four, art critic and broadcaster Waldemar Januszczak explains why busting a few myths helps our understanding of a crucial period in Western civilisation.

Rococo: Travel, Pleasure and Madness

Following the grandeur of Baroque, Rococo art is often dismissed as frivolous and unserious, but Waldemar Januszczak disagrees. In this three-part series he re-examines Rococo art and argues that the Rococo was actually the age in which the modern world was born. Picking three key territories of Rococo achievement - travel, pleasure and madness - Waldemar celebrates the finest cultural achievements of the period and examine the drives and underlying meanings that make them so prescient.
