History Summarized: Neoclassical Architecture

You asked, I deliver: the Neoclassicism tangent receives the full-video spotlight it deserves.
But there's plenty more architectural and art-historical analysis where that came from. So if this kind of thing seems fun, please comment and let me know!

SOURCES & Further Reading: "Francesco's Venice" by Francesco Da Mosto, "A History of Venice" by John Julius Norwich, "Renaissance Architecture" via Britannica, and many many many hours spent staring at buildings in Italy.

Our content is intended for teenage audiences and up.

Honestly I just like hearing Blue talk about things he's passionate about.

"12 minute tangent on neoclassicism"

Video is only 11:36 long, Blue, you're still holding out on us! Gib

"The angles, such curves, those...butresses...how?"
Architects: Math
"Que?"
Architects: *sigh*...magic...

[Torus]

Everyone: "how much architecture should a building have?"
Neoclassical: "Just enough."
Baroque: "More than enough."
Rococo: "Yes."

I'm so glad the community is supporting you to do videos on things that you're so interested in, rather than constantly requesting what they want. Do what makes you happy! <3

Blue? NEVER REFUSE TO NERD OUT ON US AGAIN.
*OSP is a community of nerds. We love this shit.*

[jaybonn]

I legit want a baroque and rococo video. Rococo is a beautiful mess and baroque is sad and edgy but DRAMATIC

[Adam-cqyo]

Blue is the kinda guy who would make a dating game where everyone's a style of architecture.

“Me watching this video in the living room”
Dad: what’s this?
Me: a video about architecture wanna watch?
Dad: sure
“2 hours of videos later”
Dad: I didn’t know Augustus made human sacrifices.

Never underestimate what YouTube viewers want to watch, we’ll watch a 3-hour hour essay on how each Castlevania monster came to be.
Edit: The video mentioned can’t be watched sadly, it was a scrapped idea of Brian David Gilbert’s. Back when he did a Polygon series, Unraveled.
Edit: this is my most liked comment by a magnitude of 5, and I feel like this is now a petition.

Obligatory comment about how beautiful this architecture is in person.

Obligatory comment on our condolences to Blue for missing his trip to Italy.

“The indecipherable mess that is Rococo” Finally someone else said it.

[JellicleKitten]

I have to file a complaint, I laughed so hard at "Achievement unlocked: now that's using your dome" that I woke up my poor cat

This channel is 3 things.

-Memes
-Culture
-ART

If you say you want to talk about art, *we will make you, and you're gonna like it.*

[keepperspective]

“And the Venetians loved it—I mean of course they did! Look at it! It’s pretty!”

Me every time Blue ventures into a new topic.

[elwynn]

I’m absolutely loving how Blue’s videos have been branching out in style. Not only is it new and interesting, but it also shows growth as a content creator.

Also I lost it at the blushing San Giorgio Maggiore when Blue called it pretty. Top tier editing, Indigo.

Blue: ...okay no. this is WAY too much math
Red: did I hear someone say... *MATH??* ✨✨

Summarize being a history buff in as few words as possible:
"That's all gone now, no matter how much I cry about it."
