I love the engaging style of the speaker! She manages to go through the ups and downs of Caravaggio's turbulent life in just 30 minutes, in plain English and without sounding pompous at all. Thanks to the National Gallery for sharing this talk on CZcams!
This is a perfect example of how You Tube can be an absolute treasure. Thanks for sharing this informative video.
I would listen to this woman talk about art anytime. She's wonderful.
One of the best speakers I have seen, quick and to the point. No long pauses, no fiddling with notes - very professional. Well done Letizia!
I feel like I was sitting on a high level lecture. It was amazing.
This is such an outstanding talk about Caravaggio's life and work!
Letizia is my most favorite presenters, she brings to life the beautiful paintings with her engaging and knowledgeable ways.
Excellent ,best curator I have ever heard ,she loves what she does ,appreciate the passion and love for this work
This is wonderful - and I could listen to Letizia all day!
Letizia is a spectacular woman combining absolute beauty with intelligence and she is captivating to listen to.❤
The fact that we can even know such incredible detail of past lives just blows my mind!
Letizia Treves is an top-notch art historian/speaker whose passion & knowledge kept me mesmerized.
I love Caravaggio's painting "The Crucifixion of St. Peter" in Rome. I have been to see it many times. He is easily one of my top 3 favorite painters! Love this lecture so much. I once spent 7 hours in the National Gallery in London.... it was NOT enough time.
I watched hardly daring to draw a breath and found myself clapping at the screen at the end, magnificent presentation by someone who is so clearly passionate about her work, thank you Ms Treves.
She's a fantastic curator. Her dynamic presentation of Caravaggio's work is outstanding!
This is such a satisfying presentation
Just brilliant. Letizia Treves knows this material cold and takes you through it at breakneck speed.
Wonderfully vivid, fluent and engaging presentation! She speaks directly to her audience without manuscript.
Extraordinary evocation of the life and work of Caravaggio. This is an intellectual crush, by a deeply passionate and clear sighted historian. Just wonderful.
