I watched the Michael Angelo vid first then Caravaggio and while MA was interesting, the raw emotion and slap in the face reminder of human brutality of Caravaggio's works has left their resonance in my diaphragm. Amazing really.

I certainly agree. Caravaggio was painting from experience too. A very powerful artist and it has made me want to view more of his works! Thank you again for watching.

Are you going to the Blake exhibition in Cambridge Mr. Dopamine? I guess you’ve only got tomorrow to see it. I’ll have to check this exhibition out!

I was fully intending to but have not managed to get to it. Was it good? I heard that there was some fantastic work by other artists, contemporaries of Blake, as well as by wonderful Blake. Thank you for watching!

@@artgalleryexplorer For the work alone, it was worth seeing! I saw Jonathan Jones’ review beforehand and was expecting the worst, however his pitting of the artists against one another was a complete mishap. Blake’s work was incredibly intense and more than held its own in the company of Caspar David Friedrich and Philipp Otto Runge’s work. It often felt like I couldn’t look at Blake’s work for too long because of the sheer will behind it. It was almost dizzying it was that strong. Similarly to your review on the expressionist exhibition at Tate Modern (which I completely agree with), the curation of the show did get in the way. I think placing or pinning Blake down to any one wider context is a disservice to his own unique vision, which I feel they didn’t fully embrace!

@@artgalleryexplorer I think Tate Britain have a free display of 15 William Blake works with Chris Ofili in response until the June 2nd if you feel like you’ve missed out!
