"This series of episodes is a bit different from the usual type of art 🎨 which Art Historian Waldemar Januszczak usually speaks about. This time, each episode shows how Roman art and Christianity depicted Jesus, in large churches and small village houses of worship in Europe. His usual dramatic flair of presenting information is entertaining as always. "
