The Untold Darkness of the Renaissance

In this arts documentary, Waldemar Januszczak explores the surprising and turbulent climax of the Renaissance. He argues that the era's final phase spiralled into madness, distortion and darkness, shaped by war and upheaval, and captured in the work of masters like Leonardo. The film reveals a stranger, more troubled Renaissance than the familiar story of serene genius. For art lovers, it is a fresh and provocative view of a golden age.
