Tobias Capwell did an AMAZING job in this lecture. Stunning
"It's my lecture so I'll say what I want."
Thank you!
Absolutely superb! For someone who knows nothing about armour, this opens up a whole field of art-historical study I didn’t even know existed. Brilliant.
What an interesting talk
on a field I had not thought of
as a topic of interest.
Long-bow's archers: Whom should we aim at? The commander: How 'bout the guy with golden armour?
This dude is awesome, he knows sh*t loads about armour, amazing! I can see why he's head of the class.
That was truly special and illuminating in way not often encountered...even by people who are generally interested in art. Thank you for posting it and hosting the lecture.
His real name is Bartolomé de Cárdenas. Bermejo or red as it was said in ancient Spanish, is a nickname after the color of his hair.
This was GREAT. It also made me check out other books written by Tobias Capwell. for one I sent the video along to a friend who works 3d objects and another who works forging about his knives.
Always thumbs up for Capwell!
Such an interesting talk, thank you!
Fascinating. Wonderfully informative on a topic I'd never even thought about before.
At 45,00 you can even see the reflection of an high medieval city in the gilded breastplate. Exquisite.
Wonderful whimsical lecture, truly genius connecting art with armor! He did what the artist did, he connected something our worldly with the transcendent outer-worldly thing like art.
Thank you.
Interesting lecture, so detailed. Thank you. Please keep sharing.
Brilliantly articulated. Thank you for this wonderfully educational lecture.
Wow! So very interesting.
This is amazing. He should do a clip focusing on codpieces
It's great to hear Toby Capwell's enthusiasm: when he talks about "contemporary armour" (as opposed to Roman) it shows he is really living in the Middle Ages 😉
Such a fascinating and unique art historical focus! Interesting lecture and great examples
Wonderful and interesting lecture. Thank you.
Happy to find this excellent lecture, thank you!
Slendid, so many inputs. By the way, does anyone know who painted the other two St Michaels at 25:33 ? I would be immensely grateful!
I am Brazilian-art an educational religion!
I was introduced to the Met when I was four also though in 1951 and tended more to the ancient Middle East and Egypt. I believe full plate without shields really doesn’t appear on the battlefield till close to 1400 and I can’t help but wonder if the reflection created was not a potential benefit in combat or that polishing did not help blows to glance off or that treating the surface did not help prevent erosion or was perceived. If one appreciates the “form follows function” credo I can’t imagine more beautiful and creative representations of this.
👏👏👏👏👏👏💕
What's the manuscript the artwork on the right at 32:47 comes from?
Book of hours?
The only real attempt to depict reality in these paintings are the reflections on the armoury. A real window into the past. Carpaccio is exceptionally good at it. Thank you for the wonderful lecture. Best regards. JCFP
What is the word at 14:18? Jornea? In reference to the cape thing
Giornea ? A sideless overgown...according to google.
It's Giornea, or in French Journade
Turn the subtitles on ;)
jousting should become and Olympic sport
Ok, We here in Transylvania don't agree 😄
You do the public a disservice by failing to show the slides in their entirety. We don't need to see the lecturer: it is the imagery that is necessary to understand what is going on here.
manage your audio better please !!!!
