"Dogs Playing Poker" is the best work in the whole place.

Fabulous insights, thank yiu

i love your videos <3

I went to Europe with fellow students in 1969. We visited the Louvre in Paris and stood in front of the Mona Lisa for a long time. The painting was unprotected and we enjoyed unrestricted access. In fact, there were only a few people and an eldery guard in the entire area. On a recent trip to the Louvre, a friend and her husband stood for an hour in line outside, then crept forward by inches in a serpentine line inside until they were in front of the heavily-guarded and shielded painting. They were allowed 30 seconds in front of the Mona Lisa before being moved along so others could have a half-minute of wonder.

All the jewelry’s are stolen property of the AFRICAN NATIONS INCLUDING HAITI.

They have damaged the nose of those images, because they represent the African people. They’re trying to hide the truth. In fact little do they know, the truth is coming out full blown.

They have robbed all Haiti’s cultural heritage and need to return what they have stolen from us. KARMA is at the doorstep of FRANCE for all the evil they have committed against all AFRICAN people and countries.

THANK YOU. this is awesome, love it

Went there today, took a ton of pictures and my stupid autistic brother got lost

As an art student in college, with art history minor, Thank you so much for these amazingly informative and well done videos!

And then Sufism came along and fcked it all up

Looks like Voldemort! 🐍💀😱

It`s impressive how Western museums like the Met and the British Museum are filled with treasures from Eastern and Oriental cultures, mostly stolen from the countries of creation. That`s one way to build a collection.

Inspired me to paint. I usually hate painting (mostly bc I don’t understand what I’m doing and am bad at it) but when I get into a painting I feel it wraps itself up.

This was an excellent video, thank you.

beautiful

Question here: why is Islamic forbid to use 3d figures in their art? Thank you for the reply!

I would love a list of the artist mentioned in the description. The video was amazing! 🙏🏿💖

9:40 “And even now.” What? 😭

There is no more difference between male and female artists than there is between two single artists regardless of their sex/gender/orientation. Unless one uses his/her genitals to paint. A lesbian artist can "objectify" women's body as much as an heterosexual man.

This video is amazing!! At beginner to the end! Thank you for this work soo informative about the life of this artists! I didn`t know about half part of them.

I wish you offer online courses like more in depth on art related topics.

Wasn’t it Guillaume Apollinaire who stole Mona?

an art place that I admire❤

Painting through female gaze is beautiful. The complexity and the emotions in it make the pieces soulful. What a hidden gem and where i have been all this time lol

Achaemenid empire founded by the Cyrus the Great 500 B.C. was the first superpower of the world, but Iran had other dynasties before the Achaemenian such as The Median empire (about 900-500 B.C.), Elamite dynasty (about 2000-800 B.C.) and there were civilizations of Jiroft and Burnt City etc. (Bronze Age), before the Aryan migration.

Really appreciate the way you described the unique ness of Matisse’s paintings. Great video.

The Nake of Paionia said that it mach the marbles of Samothrace . A island upper North east, the Aigaian pelagos.

Enjoying this video! I respect and even enjoy some of the minimalist modern art of a number of the most well-known artists 👩🏼‍🎨 of this genre. In regards to Piet Mondrian, again, respect for what he did, because it was groundbreaking, but aesthetically, his art and art similar to his, is just not pleasing to me to look at. It does not create any emotion in me...for color, shapes, composition, light...nothing. So while I respect what was apparently his vision to simplify art to its barest of elements, in this effort he was successful. But that's as far as it goes for me. My ex-husband once bought a sweater for me that looked very close to a Mondrian painting...a few red & yellow blocks, black straight lines and white background. I rarely wore it and when I did, I never liked it. I eventually donated it to a thrift store. Someone else may have loved it...I hope so. We all have our preferences and what triggers beauty and attraction in our minds, but just doesn't in others.

Thanks a lot for this video!

Such a fan I am! Love anything about Kahlo her art and this period in Mexican culture! More to come I hope!❤❤🎉

So lovingly depicted, made me tearful. Great job!

Loved the content, and how well the presentation is designed, even user interface wise. That red line and dot seperator and those labels!!! Absolutely amazing.

Mais sur la trentaine à ces cinquante ou plus de pièces au Louvre, aurais-je le droit à autre chose que la dépouille envenimé de mon père et la toxicité de tous ceux qui s'y sont drogués. Pardon pour mon français... M.K

Mona Lisa is overrated, underwhelming and boring!

It would be good not to use feet when explaining lenght measures. Official international measure for lenght is meter and centimeters etc.

I have been there 2 years ago with family and friends. It was on Christmas holidays and crowdy. But the museum is so big that we didn’t feel the crowd. Except in the Mona Lisa room, but even there we could move slowly close to it and watch as long as we wanted.

I did not like the pyramid when it was built and still think it's ruining the beauty of the place. But retrospectively it makes sense, especially the huge infrastructure to welcome the public. It’s visionary because it was largely overkill at a time when booking in advance a museum ticket woulder never have come to mind, but now the mass tourism has changed all that.

You have done a fine job. But at 17:39 this is not Lorenzo the Magnificent who died in 1492. It is Lorenzo Duke of Urbino his grandson. His father Piero was the Magnificent's son as well as Pope Leo. Guilio has been claimed as the Magnificent's murdered brother Guiliano's illegitimate son that was taken in to the Medici household after his father's death. Gets confusing when you cover all the generations. Raphael noted it in the Left Hand corner. I was obviously obsessed by this family's story after a visit to Italy.

your videos are underrated, such few views for great investigations and commentary❤

20:23 We're sure that's a black eye? black ink? Beautiful paint 🤍

Please continue posting! Your videos is what always encourages me and makes me love art a little more. I really appreciate all of your videos and honestly it becomes sort of a therapy for me. God bless you guys! <33

This was a wonderful In depth video on some of the really great paintings. You have a great voice for this type of video as well. The only reason I down voted was the use of that retarded acronym and the drivel during ELV’s self portrait. Otherwise a marvelous video.

Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg even better.

I've seen that Tumblr post that talked about the x-ray scanned version of the Gentileschi painting. It was fascinating to see that she had originally drawn susanna with a knife poised in self defence, and later changed it because someone probably told her that women aren't supposed to be shown as violent. But she later stuck with her philosophy, and made painting like the 'Judith slaying Holofernes' one shown in the video. Gentileschi is an amazing artist.

where is astrattismo?

Brilliant video -- I'm visiting tomorrow and this got me even more excited to go! Thank you!

I always look forward to watching your videos because first off your voice is pretty soothing, and also, I lovee how you dig really deep into the topics that you cover and do a ton of research. The amount of time and effort you put into these videos is obvious and is appreciated by me and im sure by others too :)

Thanks for all the work you put into these videos! They’re incredible!

Absolutely love the video💗💗 thank you for all of your splendid efforts
