    For lovers of Classical Art & History, I can't recommend Sir Kenneth Clark's Civilisation (1969) series enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilisation_(TV_series) …pic.twitter.com/nB8dlLNnKM

        Reading the book... should I get lazy and skip to the TV?

        Yes! The book is good, but the visual and narrative experience conveys much.

        BBC is producing something of a sequel, but I have my doubts... See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilisations_(TV_series)#Preview … Schama and Beard are however genuine scholars so I hold out some hope.pic.twitter.com/3k5TRJAERi

        Too much Christian iconography for my tastes. I seem to have developed somewhat of an aversive reaction thereto.

        How did you develop it? It is hard to get away from Christian iconography when looking at Western art history.

        I don't like (a) weird naked babies with wings, (b) people nailed to things or gorily shot with arrows, (c) obsession with a lady in a robe holding a baby. The entire religious aesthetic seems focused on the human body and bodily suffering and dirtiness and obsessive guilt.

        I want to see beauty in my art. Not moralizing, not indignity, not wretchedness, not reminders of suffering.

        Ubiquitous across much contemporary non-religious art too. Implied social or political messaging. Bug off with that and just make me a pretty picture.

        The new BBC update: "Civilisations", hosted by lefty feminist classicist Mary Beard, lefty historian Simon Schama, and some other dude, has been thoroughly skewered by the conservative British press.
