Glad i came by this video. I love Poe
“Quoth the Raven, ‘Nevermore’”.
My favorite poem.
My favorite is "If," so this Best Of video has us both covered.
THG has my vote to read for audiobooks...
Good Wednesday morning History Guy and everyone watching. Just watched The Fall Of The House Of Usher with Vincent Price.
What some do not know about Poe was his writings on scientific subjects and is widely considered the first to speculate that the universe was created by the explosion of a singular object. Thus was the first known mention of what we now know as the "Big Bang".
Good Morning THG. Perhaps you can tell us about the US territory of Jefferson some day.
I’m down for any new information.
😂 I don't own any territory. I know the story, and it is certainly something I'd like to see how THG portrays.
I'm here for it
Van Gogh is such a sad story. I just wish he had seen how much his work has effected the art world.
not only Vincent, but Theo as well. The whole thing is terrible.

Absolutely, I made that comment as he started that segment. When it finished I realized what a tragedy it all was. Same for Picasso’s wife. Poor woman. She gave him everything and ended up quite famous too. If only he hadn’t betrayed her so often.
Dr. Who has answered that question.
I had to walk past Poe's grave every day from the subway to the dental schoo in Baltimore. On 10/7/2003, walking past his grave, I found a small bat hanging on the bricks. It was 10:00 AM. Why an animal that normally would seek at least darkness during the day would chose this sunny spot was a mystery, but very fitting for the day.
I am always moved by anything to do with Van Gogh, the man, his life and of course his art, which I find both beautiful and sad at the same time. His final colorful stage is simply beyond anything else I've experienced. So rich and revealing.
I remember reading two of Edgar Allan Poe’s poems, The Raven & The Bells, at school. I’ve also read Poe’s story The Cask Of Amontillado in high school, & some of his other stories I read include The Pit & The Pendulum, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, & The Masque of the Red Death.
Thank you so much for this! Your videos are moving, and I can’t iterate how important these videos are and will be for the world of people who take the time to enjoy them. Thank you so much. Absolutely beautifully pieced together. I’m moved to tears over the lives of these bigger than life artists. ❤
thanks
Nice!
@TheHistroy Guy , I'm surprised you didn't have one about Amedeo Modigliani, that is one tragic life.
Only reason i know Edgar allan Poe and his 'Raven' poem really well is from the simpsons, Treehouse of horror specials, ive seen it so many times, that its stuck in my mind. I have to say those are my favourite for some reason..lol. Idk why but im not even one for getting really freaked out even. Anyways, i think you did a really good job with that poem!
I am very grateful that Theo Van Goch finally got some notice. I still have an “emperors new clothes” attitude towards cubism but fine artists tend to make fine art whatever the venue. Interestingly both Van Gogh and Picasso had tremendous friction and competitiveness with their fathers. Thanks much for all the stories that have more import than they might seem
This was really good! Thoroughly enjoyed by me.
I thought that was siIvagunner in the thumbnail. He is definitely a form of modern art.
Thanks for the informative video as always!
Fascinating story regarding Picasso. How about doing a retrospect on Salvador Dali?
Love your craft and"some"of your content.(no criticism,just honest.)Keep up the great work!!
I would love another episode on artists, maybe one covering Degas and Monet ❤
Can THG cover the great Minnesota Hinckley fire? 🔥🔥
The everlasting minute? Are there multiple versions of If? I've only ever seen 'the unforgiving minute'.
Odd. My reproduction of SSNight is from grand master who used the same canvas brushes and paint as Vincent did. An exact facsimile. Took twenty years to outgas the oils. Its...
Magnificent. Colors took many years to shine through
Sergeant Major Poe.
Can you make a video on chainmail?
Watch Loving Vincent..
It was a rumor Vincent shot himself, but the truth came out he was shot by a village boy.
His last name was pronounced Goff.
Picasso was serious RICHARD J/S
Truly loved "Artists"!
I always thought Vincent Van Gogh's brother's name was Mini. 😏
I wonder if Van Gogh was bi-polar?

LOL poe only went back to Elmira because the other woman didnt marry him! 🤔. She was only his second choice! i wouldnt put up with that..lol if someone doesnt pick me from the start well then they'll never get another chance, i wont be some guys second choice.. I dont care how long its been but thats basically what that is. She shouldnt have taken him back 🤔.
WRONG!!! Portuguese author JOSÉ SARAMAGO received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998 for his book 'Memorial do Convento'. Why do Americans always seem to 'forget' to consider people from smaller and, possibly, less important countries??? It's really not funny. I strongly suggest that in the future you thoroughly check your sources and information when preparing a video!
I'm trying to understand what part of the video you're complaining about. Did he say someone else won the Nobel prize in 1998?
It's not that. THG said that Kipling was the only person who ever won a Nobel Prize in literature (1907). I only said that such information is not correct because the Portuguese writer José Saramago also won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1998.
@@Emergency785 I think he said Kipling was the youngest person to ever win a Nobel Prize in literature?
Get your facts straight! Kipling won the Nobel Prize in 1907. Your dude probably wasn't even born then
Picasso's art is ugly, and I hate that we're supposed to pretend that it's not
My humanities prof - said we were free to criticize Picasso if we first explained why he was considered great by art and humanities experts first - and I still do, even though I have enjoyed many of his works and hated more - I appreciate and dare to criticize (leaning more toward the latter)
He wasn't making it so that youd think that it's "pretty"
