I would like to see a well documented video on the relationship of Louis XIV and Madame de Maintenon. Louis XIV ‘s mistresses seem to overshadow most of the information about the women in his live without emphasizing the relationships with women he actually married.

Interesting, good quality documentary. Thank you!

amazing video 👏

Imagine drawing a gynecologist in red, so flirty!!!

Lovely discussion…thank you for including the impact from Renaissance and Baroque painters

But you have to remember thats not what they actually look like irl. This is only art depiction from the human mind.

Isn't it amazing?What people will do for a non existent deity

I guess it was a fine day to die for these guys with all that blood, fire and death

*He has Sith eyes. clearly a Star Wars reference.*

As much as I am moved by the beauty and symbolism of halos in art, I can't help smiling whenever I see one. One holiday season when I was about nine or ten, I sat at the kitchen table to draw a nativity scene. I was feeling good about my work until a tried to put a halo on Mary, so I asked my Mom for advice. She reached into a cupboard and took out one of those tin pie plates you get with a pie from the bakery. With a loving grin, Mom said, "take this and put it behind your doll's head, and you'll make a beautiful Mary." I did!

The Lady of Shalott is one of the best paintings I saw in the Tate Gallery London. His technique is brilliant. For me he is the best Pre Raphaelite, the British Rembrandt.thank you

Beautiful Amen ✝️♥️

The beautiful painting “The Annunciation” by Dante Gabriel Rossetti an angel is announcing to a young and frightened Mary that she will give birth to Jesus. The angel has some light around his head and Maria is already depicted with an halo.

How pretty, a topic and such a nice video…! Thank you.

I had watched many videos on the topics of Lapis Lazuli as well as works of Far Angelico, but it was only here that I learned about Fragrance Angelico's works where he had used it extensively that the ultra marine blue was even called as 'Far Angelico blue'. Thank you for this new and interesting piece of information !

There is a physiological reason why the middle & ring fingers tend to group as a pair. Ask any pianist how successfully they have develop independence of these fingers, and they will tell you that there are limits to achieving that. A cursory look at the anatomy of the hand will reaffirm this. So, the notion that painting these two fingers grouped together conveys a particular meaning and characteristic of the sitter may actually be fantasy.

Thank you!

I wonder whom model for the painting?

The first painting has got a be by Gustave Moreau .

Michael doesn't even have a sword...

It looks like devils on the right and angels on the left ...

I tried to pose with my arm leaning on a table like this, and it's impossible. I'm too short for one thing, but the main reason is that my arm just doesn't bend that way. Now that I know about that falling strap, and looking at the positioning of that arm, it's as though I'm waiting for the strap to slide right down to Madam Gautreau's wrist. (Now I'm wondering why her ear is scarlet.)

Four by 6 meters! Yow! P.S. Nice Jesus voice...

And we now have a white canvas going for millions

Amazing...what a piece of work!

Great summary of the history of THIS MASTERPIECE

Very interesting. Stunningly beautiful frescoes.

Art Deco did a video on this so I'm familiar with the story but I'm excited to learn more and hear you tell it, thanks for covering this!

Very interesting! Thank you 🙏🏼

Maybe my favorite oil painter...I think that the fallen strap added an element of angular motion to the entire work, I like it.

Thank you!

Cool vid i just got this recommended

Oh my god I've been waiting for this!! Thank you for sharing

Feels a bit HR Gieger-esque to me

Thank you! I would love to see a longer version that includes post modern artists as well!

the expression shown 0:53 that’s the mystery of the tears is what makes the painting a interpretation of one’s owns emotion feeling sadness and anger at the same time says so much it’s self

So, you could argue that a contemporary teneberist (if that's a word) would be artists like Jono Dry

To me, one of the most delightful things about Medieval art is the way animals are given anthropomorphic faces. In the bestiaries, animals symbolize human goodness and human frailty. Given the religious theme of the unicorn story, I suspect that the land animals in the background of the tapestries, like the vain monkey, have their own special meaning as well. How about the birds? Do individual birds have specific significance?

Haunting 😢

멋지고아름다운 명화영상 잘보고갑니다 수고하셨습니다 큰박수보냄니다 덕분에 행복한주말아침입니다 자주찿아뵙겠습니다 7월에도행복하세요 무등산충효동에서 무돌보냄니다

this whole series has been fabulous. not many people discuss the ceiling in such detail . Very enlightening.Thank you . I hope one day to see it for myself

I LOVE the Unicorn Tapestries, it's my dream to see them in person some day. Thank you for the video!

One can almost hear the angel's anguished cry of "Why?!" and feel the sympathy of the all-knowing Sphinx...Dore' was something, all right...I love this piece, never seen it before, thank you! P.S. lithograph?

Interesting lesson, as always. Thank you!

Amazing !

Muito convincente, as questões apontadas, sobre à obra: 'At the Door of the School’, de Nicolay Bogdanov-Belsky. Considerando a história de vida do autor; e, que se trata de uma pintura autobiográfica, creio que tem fundamento analisar, sob o ponto de vista, de uma criança, que vive à margem, portanto sem acesso à educação, mas que sonha com ela. Nesse caso, ele mesmo.

My favorite artist. Thanks for the pleasant surprise!

I've almost never seen as colorful a painting by J.S.Sargent. Practically the only black in it is the subject's hair..and doesn't he look a proper rogue!
