Post Description

The Dark Ages have been misunderstood. History has identified the period 
following the fall of the Roman Empire with a descent into barbarism - a 
terrible time when civilisation stopped. 

Waldemar Januszczak disagrees. In this four-part series he argues that the Dark 
Ages were a time of great artistic achievement, with new ideas and religions 
provoking new artistic adventures. He embarks on a fascinating trip across 
Europe, Africa and Asia, visits the world's most famous collections and 
discovers hidden artistic gems, all to prove that the Dark Ages were actually 
an 'Age of Light'. 

The 'Barbarians' are often blamed for the collapse of the Roman Empire, but in 
reality they were fascinating civilisations that produced magnificent art. 
Focusing on the Huns, Vandals and Goths, Waldemar follows each tribe's journey 
across Europe and discovers the incredible art they produced along the way.
