Why The Dark Ages Were Not Really That Dark | Age Of Light Full Series | Chronicle

The Dark Ages have been misunderstood. History has identified the period following the fall of the Roman Empire as a descent into barbarism - a terrible time when civilization stopped.

Waldemar Januszczak disagrees. In this four-part series, he argues that the Dark Ages were a time of great artistic achievement, with new ideas and religions provoking new artistic adventures. He embarks on a fascinating trip across Europe, Africa, and Asia visits the world's most famous collections, and discovers hidden artistic gems, all to prove that the Dark Ages were actually an 'Age of Light'.

Welcome to Chronicle; your home for all things medieval history! With documentaries covering everything from the collapse of the Roman Empire to the beginnings of the Renaissance, from Hastings to Charlemagne, we'll be exploring everything the Middle Ages have to offer.

I love these 4 hour long videos that I can play in the background while doing other things whilst only paying attention just enough to be misinformed.

If every history teacher was like this guy, there would be a world of history buffs. He's perfect, funny at the right time, and the best storyteller.

There should be a drinking game where every time Waldemar Januszczak lays the map on the ground and crouches down to show us we drink.

Honestly love how the guy is so knowledgeable about many topics but lays them out in such a casual way that seems almost comedic. Very interesting on scene camera work. Truly a masterpiece of a video 10/10

Having seen Hagia Sophia myself i can attest to how breathtakingly impressive architecture in those "dark ages" can be.

This was fascinating! Thank you to everyone who was a part of this docu-series. Your efforts were immense and are much appreciated! I'm continually amazed by how much there is to learn about things we didn't know we needed to know.

These videos often get funneled into my auto play while I’m sleeping. I wonder what kind of history are coloring my dreams! I’ll have to go back and watch them again. ✨

I was in Mexico in '69, I was very young, bit I will never forget the Pacific Ocean. I'm a Pisces and I just took in all those shades of blue..it was a visual.turning point in my life. I was 9 years old! Most of my artwork and prints always end up with the color Blue as one of the focal points..Ultramrine Blue and Teal are my fave blues..

Sir. You have sparked off, a thought.... An inspired feeling I might say. Thank you Not only insightful, informative and entertaining. But your tongue and cheek humor is certainly a breath off fresh air. Congratulations on an award winning documentary in my opinion. 💞

A common thing, back then was the fact that many Patrons helped out financially behind the scenes and many of them, insisted on the artist rendering their wive's or sons or daughters portraits on the ads of some of the figures depicted in the scenes. And, another detail I know, because I'm an artist, is that not every painter is good at portraits. Lots of people don't realize that. Plus, the artists often weren't paid properly or in a timely manner. A creative person can often be distracted by behind the scene quibbling..ruining the experience and quality of the finished piece.

This is amazing! I even minored in art history, and I never knew that “happy Jesus” existed first…and I love the fact that the early artists depicted him with a wand!

"Oh the bling they brought into the world." I want to take a moment to appreciate Lil Wayne for his important contribution to linguistics, particularly this um, gem, of a moment of reflection on the importance of the family jewels in Medieval History , the Dark Ages -- or rather, the Age of Light apparently if you will, as so tastefully referenced here....
