Transfiguration of Christian Art Over a Millennium,
By
This review is from: The Great Epochs of European Art: Early Christian and Byzantine Art, Romanesque Art & Gothic Art (DVD)
The DVD under review introduces viewers to the religious art of Christianity that spans about a millennium. The series starts with the early Christian and Byzantine art and ends with the Gothic art. Superb photography, erudite comments, and non-intrusive background music allow viewers to grasp the evolution of Christian art in different media. Unfortunately, the three-part series shows its age because it was originally released in both 1989 and 1990. The quality of the image is sometimes sub-optimal. This series should be shot again because of the importance of high definition in visualizing art.

This review is from: The Great Epochs of European Art: Early Christian and Byzantine Art, Romanesque Art & Gothic Art (DVD)
I teach art history. This video is ok, not great. I use it to skip around to specific works I want the students to see. The voice over material does not address in any detail: history, aesthetic analysis nor development,nor technique. For example it will say this is a mosaic but not discuss how it was made or materials used.
I'm sick of mediocre art history videos. Art 21 is great for contemporary art. |
