Disgusting English propaganda! Just can't believe how BBC even in such series about "Russian art" couldn't (or didn't want to) hold the objective position but have used it as political tool of the UK foreign policy.
BBC have made it - after such series, I much more despise British propaganda, than I could ever hate the Russian political system. BBC, you are disgusting!
He talks as if the world still takes Christianity and its iconography seriously. That "Madonna Praying" looks more like "Madonna Half-whacked". Note: Many of the pagans were "Christianized" - it was not a miraculous change - It was oppression. They were submitted to an ideological cult under threat of death and torture. This guy is so ignorant. I suspect that he is pre-enlightenment. He's probably Catholic.
I don't know about this "art historian". He is not a serious critic so his narratives on the past are somewhat cliched. You always get the feeling you've heard everything he's said before. He doesn't well critique past art. In his American video all he does is try to validate the high values of the famous art. He offers no illumination. That something is an object and that people pay high amounts for it does not make it art, it makes it an object that people pay high amounts for.
This documentary is full of incorrect facts. The Cyrilic Alphabet is Bulgarian, not Russian, the iconostasis is to be found on the Balkans centuries before it was brought to Russia, the first Tzar is Simeon The Great of Bulgaria and he created the title in early 10th century and the so called "First and Second Southern Slavic Influence" in Russian culture is a term, created by the Russian historians to explain how the Orthodox ideas penetrated Russia through Bulgaria.
