Video

Thank you for an excellent video about this artist, one I had never heard of before. I do know a little about two of her contemporaries -- Artemisia Gentileschi, also of Italy, and Sofonisba Anguissola of Spain. Your channel is fantastic, and I'd love to see a video you'd make of these other two Renaissance painters!

It is more than probable he was killed during the civil war since thats when his trail stops. Since he was of black decent his death at that time unremarkable and in the midst of war just covered somewhere in an unmarked grave. Therefore unfortunately never able to obtain freedom sadly.

I'm Creole born and raised in Louisiana. Creole means mixed race or multiracial I read he was of mixed race and a child of the Father with a slave woman he and that oldest daughter have the same profile wonder why he was painted over trying to hide hso existence im sure ut was racially motivated some family secrets no one wanted known.

Great video, love the editing style

Thank you for your thoughtful, clear insights into a painting I had never seen by an artist I had never heard of. (I always thought it was odd that the Christian Dante chose the pagan Virgil to guide him through the Christian afterlife.)

Thank you

Is this the level of hell called "complaints"? Honey you being a presenter for a commentary on fine arts was a mistake. You are no Peter Ustinov. Also, it's Pooo Saaan. Not Pisson.

The guy with the “machete” is Francisco oller. He did paint his own self in the art.

Normally I would never advocate for AI but this womans voice is so annoying its the only answer or someone else narates !

What if I told you, the algorithm said this was a thing, but in actual life it’s just a meme, nobody needs an art history lesson for a meme

Segue is pronounced seg'-way. Unless you are AI. But anything but "segoo."

Masterpiece ⭐️ Saludos desde su isla, Puerto Rico.

Love this channel. Just wondering what you think (honestly) of the artwork of Carnal Diafragma - The Garden of Earthly Delights 2024 ?

Why does this seem like another very specific channel? Seems like her style and quirkiness. This is weird.

What a silly analysis. You seem to be on the point of giggling.

Snorsville yall

I think you meant: "Since gypsies taught their entire families, for generation after generation, to roam around and live by theft and other crimes instead of any form of honest productive work, people often rightfully distrusted them."

An excellent video! I've subscribed. Thanks! You've convinced me that these are gypsies, rather than the usual interpretation of their being prostitutes with their madam. One point, though: it is a common mistake to think that Caravaggio invented his "Caravaggesque" look. He didn't. The look is known as Tenebrism, and painters were painting this way 140 years before Caravaggio was born (van Eyck's Self Portrait of 1433, for example-a dark background against which the light shapes jump out dramatically). Caravaggio was trained under Simone Peterzano in Milan, and Peterzano was a follower of the Venetian way of painting-check out Titian's portrait of Aretino, or any one of several portraits by Tintoretto. What Caravaggio brought to Rome was the use of mirror projections that gave an added realism to his outlines. This is why his studio was painted black, and why he banged a hole in the roof (mirror projections need a strong spotlight). His landlady famously sued him for this.

None of those women are gypsies Hieronymus, not hei

I was intrigued by this video up til the mispronunciation of "conjurer." Stupid.

I think it is the well dressed lady that is the most interesting. It's her husband and she sees the opertunity to get a bit of money or pay back and blaming it on the gypsies.

Looks like a Caravaggio? Really?

I tried positioning my arm like the model here. There was no way I could do it, so I started to think about why Sargent chose to paint it that way. As I see it, Madame Gautreau's arm adds to the erotic hint of her portrait. Looking at the shape and pose of her arm now, I can imagine a viewer just watching and waiting for her shoulder strap to slide right down. And Kudos to the Madame X for cocking a snook at the Establishment by commissioning her own portrait the way she saw herself.

I had never heard of De La Tour before today. After seeing this, I'm going to look him up and see more of his work. Congratulations on such a fantastic video!

I was born in Cedar Rapids. When this painting gets famous we’ll be the new Mecca of the arts! 🎉

this is scary

Ok. Where did this narrator come from? It sounds artificial and is frankly unlistenable.

Sad but truth😢. Wonder if today's psychiatry and medicine would be able to help them...

Dis -- hevelled... just one of the many ludicrous mispronunciations! It's just too annoying to listen to this!

Who is "Tit-e-in"? Did you mean Titian? Your AI reader needs a bit more schooling.

It Is One Of My Favorite Pieces Of Art By Itself But The Whole Series (2 Series) Are Full of Images Just As Skilled

Describing 71 as “really old” says a lot about the age of the video’s creator.

Love it! ♥️

Amazing video! Love this channel❤

My mind went to some kind of disorder. This is what I found. medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/smith-magenis-syndrome/ I posted this before the Pagets Disease segment. I think what I found is closer to the painting.

There is absolutely NO controversy over this painting, except in your own head. CLICK BAIT

That's an ermine, not a stoat. It's in the name of the painting.

rad video man!

Arts of Earth - As the story is told (or you tell the story), when Grant Wood first saw the house, he thought the Gothic-style window "a structural absurdity". So we have a painter constructing a composition using as the background something he considered "absurd". How could this be anything but a parody? Here are two definitions of 'parody': 1) A composition that imitates or misrepresents somebody's style, usually in a humorous way. 2) Make a spoof of or make fun of. Despite quotes from Wood's biographer, or Grant Wood himself - let each viewer decide or discern what he or she may. That this painting was instantly controversial speaks to its 'cleverness' - AND that it deliberately contains mixed messages. No matter what the painting means - and to whom, thanks for compiling some interesting information about this painting. Best, Jim

Basically rich people thought this painting was secretly saying "Poor people are evil. Look at the scary pitchfork".

Full of inaccuracies. Full to bursting.

I feel like this is an AI run bot channel

This channel seems like it's copying @Art_Deco

I see the power of stubborn ignorance in the guise of modern day conservatism. It is a great piece of American art.

J. Theodore Johnson won first prize with "The black mantilla" at the 43rd Art Institute of Chicago Exhibition.

Definitely satire.

$300 in the 1930's... That's would be well over $30 000 now.

Perhaps the family of the painted woman stiffed the artist and he decided to use a little whimsy to get even !

I saw a photo of that painting in a book when I was a kid in school. That was a long time ago. My teacher talked about it, and the controversy that it brought on. My thought at the time was that people are stupid to get riled up over some daubs of paint that were created out of a random guy's imagination. Rural people getting upset that it makes them look bad had me laughing. My grandfather had been a farmer one state over from Iowa, and he looked almost exactly like the guy in the painting. And I mean grandpa dressed like that too. And here's the big point, anyone who looks down on people who choose to wear overalls, or used a pitchfork, can go suck eggs.
