These podcasts are rich with facts and insights that I rarely received in my art studies in college. They act as an inspiration to find even more information as I find specific aspects of the Renaissance in further reading. Thanks for these!

Just started listening to Podcast. Wonderful.

Thoroughly enjoying this podcast! I’ve been listening while cycling for long distances and needing a distraction from the pain in my legs. It’s been a great way to better introduce art history to myself as I’ve grown a deep interest in it over the past year after getting to see an exhibit of Botticelli’s best work. Very easy to follow but I wish there were more episodes though as I’m nearing the end!

Can you please make more episodes?????

This podcast is great reference for any artist who want to learn art in deeper and looking to understand art History

Loved the Leonardo Da Vinci episode!

Thanks for the great podcast, I hope you will continue to publish the last few episodes. Looking forward to seeing the art discussed in Italy one day!

I stumbled across this podcast in search of Art and History - I couldn’t have been more excited! The Renaissance podcast has so much wonderful information and life stories about these incredible artists. I knew nothing about these individuals before the podcast and I’ve been hooked since I came across it just a mere week ago! I highly recommend this podcast and hope the owner releases new episodes soon!

Couldn’t ask for a better source of Renaissance info!

This podcast is an easy listen during an 8 hour shift at work and really helps pass the time. I’m several years late finding this so there are a lot of episodes that are bingeable and can get me through the hours. Dennis Byrd references the same historical figures throughout multiple episodes to help solidify and individualize them into your brain as the story grows. Great show!

Someone please tell me what the intro music is. Thanks

I am enjoying this series and in spite of having studied Art History in college, I am learning more in-depth information. I just have one teensy little thing that bothers me. The speaker might want to take a class in Beginning Italian. His pronunciations of famous Italian artists’ names is not accurate. It is hard for me to listen to his mispronunciations. I received a BA in Art History and was taught by instructors who travelled to and/or studied in Italy. I have taken an Italian language class from a native speaker so I do know how basic letter combinations are pronounced. Clearly the speaker knows his subject and definitely knows about the artistic processes. I’m still listening, but that’s my one suggestion. I hope you are not offended.

Thanks for the great content. I’m always looking for good art history podcasts, this one is 👌

I just absolutely love hearing this gentleman speak about art history!! He is doing a great job and I love how each podcast focuses on a predominant person from the Renaissance. I am a tattooist, oil painter, and art history student training to be a teacher. I hope I am as good as a speaker and lecturer as this man. Thank you sir for putting together this wonderfully insightful podcast. - Adam Romano Romano’s Custom Tattoo & Art Gallery @AdamRomanoTattoo

The Northern Renaissance! FINALLY ! Cannot wait !

Love this podcast! So glad to see the host back! Looking forward to the future episodes.

I love art history and I found this podcast two weeks ago and I wish there was more! I found the entire podcast easy to listen to and very informative. Great job! My only complaint is there are no more episodes. I do hope more are made! Thanks!

Thank you! I really enjoy your podcast!

Would love to see this podcast come back! Love the way it explains not only the art, but the lives of the artists and the links between them!

This podcast has me chomping at the bit as it discusses one of my favorite times in art history and does a thorough job describing the most prominent painters and sculptors at the time. Please come back!!!!!

Hello! I am a normal 5th grader and struggle a little with history but when I listened to this suddenly I wanted to learn more and more about the renaissance! I am even done with this subject and am still listening to this! My teacher even supports the podcast! and no matter what age you are, if you want to learn about the renaissance this is the podcast for you. Thank you so much with helping me with history and school. This is such a GREAT podcast! THANK YOU!!!

How credible is a person that horrible mispronounce “Cimabue” name as “boey” Can’t listen to that anymore use any internet tool to correct that dreadful mistake

I neglected my art education during my schooling, but am trying to make up for it now! This show is a great way to get into the development of Western Art.

Please pronounce the names of people and places described in your podcast. It severely detracts from the information you are presenting.

Enjoy the podcast very much and have picked up knowledge beyond the more well know masters.

Wonderful resource for anyone with a casual interest in Art History and the Renaissance. This podcast definitely sparked my interest in the subject. 10/10 would recommend.

While the podcaster clearly does his research and is passionate about the subject, I feel many of the episodes barely skim the surface of the subject matter. The editing is a bit choppy, but not too bad. I love that this podcast is available, but it would be great if there was more. I'm greedy!!

Listen, the Renaissance was a wild time where men were being paid to make solid gold doors, paint on ceilings, and one artist even cut off his own ear. A period where one of the best artists was named after one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shows how difficult it must be to Podcast about it; this show handles the Renaissance better than any other out there! Subscribe, Listen, Love! A++ Show!

This could be the best Art History Podcast out there. The author is passionate about the subject and cares about it. There are two major issues with the podcast though: mispronunciation of recurrent words such as Signoria (which any history student should know how to pronounce) is very annoying (not to mention it discredits the author’s knowledge of the subject), and the lack of depth on the subjects themselves (like glossing over important facts, such as saying both Michelangelo and Leonardo were both painting the Battle of Anghiari in the Palazzo della Signoria, when Michelangelo was actually painting the Battle of Caccina). I finally had to stop listening when the author butchered the story of Michelangelo deceiving Soderini when “fixing” the David.

I live in Italy, so admittedly I'm nitpicking. The mispronunciation of some words (Giovanni, Verrocchio, signoria) is distracting. With a little work, this could be great!

Thanks

Pretty good podcast for a historical overview of the period. History gives us all perspective. Focus is on art; but I think that this period in Italy is just as significant as a revolutionary movement in money and finance (which some might say that art is all about anyway). Could spend more time on that, too. Worth a listen.

I am really enjoying this history of renaissance art which is done artist by artist. The podcaster brings a lot together and provides excellent overview.

I was excited to dive into this podcast but the speaker's manner of speech I can barely understand. He talks much too fast, choppy, and robotic. I tried to stick it out, but no can do.

I found this podcast very helpful, informative, and enlightening in my preparation for a trip to Italy! My wife and I went to Milan, Florence and then Rome to see all of the famous sights and this podcast really helped me know the back story and history of what we were looking at. It really brought better context to help me appreciate the amazing history that was there. Thank you so much for your in-depth research and clear presentation!

I am a casual art history learner and am always worried of not being able to keep up with too deep of learning. This podcast has the right length of the episodes with the right level of depth for me, I want to thank the host for putting together such a great series of Renaissance art education material. What I learned will definitely make my future trips to art museums much more interesting and meaningful. Thank you !

Love the show, it's informative but very accessible, too--which can be hard to achieve with this subject matter. Keep up the great work!

Enlightening podcast bringing Renaissance history to the modern viewers. Great work!

I am enjoying learning more about Renaissance art!! Looking forward to more.

Very informative. Presented in a manner that is both easy to follow and interesting.

I am an art history teacher and have been for over 30 years. I have been studying the Renaissance and teaching it, and have found very few resources they give me new insight. But this one does, and I really like how the series is broken up and how passionate the narrator is. I don't wanted to end!
