How Renoir Revolutionised Art
Discover the trailblazing spirit of Auguste Renoir, one of the founders of impressionism, whose canvases shattered centuries of artistic convention. In "Renoir – Portrait of Changing Times," we see how Renoir took inspiration from the past, while transforming Parisian life undergoing societal change into timeless masterpieces.
Renoir's impressionistic strokes capture the pulse of 1870s Paris, a city reeling from war and revolutionary change, whilst incorporating Rococo references. This documentary explores the genesis of Renoir's vision, which melds tradition with the avant-garde.
As his son later wrote, “Renoir loved fairy tales. The everyday was like a fairy tale to him”. Like the fairytale world of Rococo Painting, Renoir’s impressionist works do not depict reality but create an allurin...

Art thieves and ransoms - The murky world of stolen art | DW Documentary
Artwork, jewels: Every year, art thieves steal precious objects that are worth millions. But stolen art can rarely be re-sold. That’s why it’s often ransomed, instead. Investigators call this practice "artnapping”.
"Artnapping” is when museums, insurance companies or private owners are blackmailed into paying millions of euros in ransom for the safe return of their belongings.
These artworks can be hard for the authorities to track down. Take the case of the methodical thieves who robbed Dresden’s famous Green Vault museum: In November 2019, two burglars broke in to the Dresden Castle. They stole historical treasures and fled, long before the police arrived. More than 100 suspects have been arrested. But the royal jewels the thieves took from the glass displays that night? They’re still...

Michelangelo - A Revolution in Art | Documentary
At the young age of 23, Michelangelo broke all traditions and created his first masterpiece - the Pietà, of Mary cradling the body of Jesus Christ after his death, who looks as if he was sleeping peacefully.
Michelangelo’s David sculpture, carved from a 7-metre-high block of marble, also broke taboos of its time - an anatomically perfect body representing the freedom and sovereignty of the spirit. Michelangelo’s frescoes are no less monumental than his sculptures.
When Michelangelo was offered the job of decorating the arched ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he had never painted a fresco before. Michelangelo locked himself in the Sistine Chapel for four years and suffered terrible hardships while working day and night. The result was a work the likes of which had never been seen before: T...

Rembrandt - The master of light and shadow | Documentary
Nowadays there is no reputable art collection of distinction which does not contain a genuine “Rembrandt”. With Rembrandts portraits, the Dutch artist seemed to directly capture people's souls.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, born in 1606 as a miller’s son, changed the world of painting like no other. But who was this baroque genius Rembrandt who enchanted people through the centuries? His biography is riddled with strokes of fate and family perplexities, and when the art titan Rembrandt died at the age of 63, he was a lonely, impoverished, and misunderstood outlaw.
This documentary traces Rembrandts roots in his Dutch homeland and closely observes one of the greatest research and conservation projects in art history, "Operation Nightwatch" in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Artwork, jewels: Every year, art thieves steal precious objects that are worth millions. But stolen art can rarely be re-sold. That’s why it’s often ransomed, instead. Investigators call this practice "artnapping”.
"Artnapping” is when museums, insurance companies or private owners are blackmailed into paying millions of euros in ransom for the safe return of their belongings.
These artworks can be hard for the authorities to track down. Take the case of the methodical thieves who robbed Dresden’s famous Green Vault museum: In November 2019, two burglars broke in to the Dresden Castle. They stole historical treasures and fled, long before the police arrived. More than 100 suspects have been arrested. But the royal jewels the thieves took from the glass displays that night? They’re still missing.
In 1994, two paintings by the British artist JMW Turner were stolen from the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt. After eight years and many detours, the pieces were returned to the Tate Gallery in London. But to get these prized possessions back, the museum had to make a deal with the robbers, paying five million euros in ransom. To this day, the people behind the crime remain unknown — and unpunished.
Boris Fuchsmann, on the other hand, has given up on ever finding his treasure again. The millionaire from Düsseldorf used to own one of the largest coins in the word. The "Big Maple Leaf” was made of pure gold and weighed 100 kilograms. The art collector loaned his coin, worth 3.7 million euros, to Berlin’s Bode Museum, where it was stolen in 2017. The robbers were found, but the coin is still missing: police suspect it was cut into pieces and melted down, as state investigators found gold dust on the thieves’ clothes.
These are among the world’s most spectacular cases. But they are probably only the tip of the iceberg, says Stefan Koldehoff, an art market expert and non-fiction writer specialized in art theft. The journalist believes the number of stolen artworks is far higher than official numbers show. After all, while prices on the art market have been skyrocketing for years, making looted artwork all the more valuable, the security systems at museums have grown completely outdated.

We travel with Michelangelo to the major construction site that was to become St. Peter’s Basilica, to the banking houses of the Medicis and the workshop of Johannes Gutenberg. We examine some of the many innovations of the Renaissance such as linear perspective, the printing press and double-entry bookkeeping. We ask what these achievements mean to us today and how - almost half a millennium later - we continue to benefit from the "Renaissance factor." And we delve deeper with the help of spectacular reenactments and our "special investigators" - modern-day trendsetters, scientists, business tycoons, fashion designers and artists.

At the young age of 23, Michelangelo broke all traditions and created his first masterpiece - the Pietà, of Mary cradling the body of Jesus Christ after his death, who looks as if he was sleeping peacefully.
Michelangelo’s David sculpture, carved from a 7-metre-high block of marble, also broke taboos of its time - an anatomically perfect body representing the freedom and sovereignty of the spirit. Michelangelo’s frescoes are no less monumental than his sculptures.
When Michelangelo was offered the job of decorating the arched ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he had never painted a fresco before. Michelangelo locked himself in the Sistine Chapel for four years and suffered terrible hardships while working day and night. The result was a work the likes of which had never been seen before: The Creation Story, portraying God’s creation of the world.

https://wn.com/Eroticism,_Death_And_The_Devil_How_Gothic_Art_Captivates_US_|_Dw_Documentary
Death and the devil. Nudity and eroticism. Horror. With its daring subjects and blazing colors, the art of the Gothic period captivated viewers some 500 years ago, and still affects us deeply, today.
This documentary focuses on some of the most spectacular panels and paintings of the Gothic period. The mid-15th century saw the creation of works like "Purgatory," "Hell," and "Paradise." Gothic specialists introduce us to these works, while explaining just how innovative Gothic painting really was. They walk us through the beauty of the colors, show us just how daring the erotic scenes can be, and highlight the raw power of the devils and monsters.
Art historian and director Grit Lederer explains how special macro-optic technology sheds new light on the artworks‘ tiniest details, while the storied Cologne Cathedral opens at midnight to let art historians examine the "Liebeszauber" painting, still shrouded in mystery to this day.

Nowadays there is no reputable art collection of distinction which does not contain a genuine “Rembrandt”. With Rembrandts portraits, the Dutch artist seemed to directly capture people's souls.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, born in 1606 as a miller’s son, changed the world of painting like no other. But who was this baroque genius Rembrandt who enchanted people through the centuries? His biography is riddled with strokes of fate and family perplexities, and when the art titan Rembrandt died at the age of 63, he was a lonely, impoverished, and misunderstood outlaw.
This documentary traces Rembrandts roots in his Dutch homeland and closely observes one of the greatest research and conservation projects in art history, "Operation Nightwatch" in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Furthermore, this art documentary sheds light on the events that shaped the life path of the artist Rembrandt. In particular, one of his early masterpieces, "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp," is highlighted.
It is demonstrated that the artist Rembrandt stood out due to his extraordinary ability to masterfully capture light and shadow in his art, allowing him to depict emotions in an outstanding manner.
