In this three-part documentary series Waldemar Januszczak discovers paintings, sculptures and architecture of the Baroque period. Starting from the square of Saint Peter's Basilica in Italy to St Paul's Cathedral in England.
Waldemar Januszczak explores the Baroque tradition in many of its key locations, beginning at St Peter's in Rome and detailing the birth of the Baroque tradition as it burst forth in Italy.
From Italy, Waldemar follows Baroque to its dark heart in Spain, focusing on the route of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
After touring Europe, Waldemar brings the Baroque home with an exploration of the English Baroque at London's Hawksmoor churches and Christopher Wren's iconic St Paul's Cathedral.
