Welcome to The Art Tourist, where art meets travel. To us, art is an experience, best accompanied by good food and drink, local shopping, and plenty of sightseeing. Wherever we go, we tell the stories of extraordinary artworks and the visionaries who made them.
Each episode is written and hosted by Rachel, a copywriter at The Met, and produced by her husband, Jason.
Whether you travel art-first like we do or you’re simply art-curious, we hope you’ll join us on our next adventure.

In Toledo now, stood in front of “the Burial of Count Orgaz” for 30 minutes. Couldn’t peel myself away. Stunning. Arresting perspective. Incomparable. We overuse the word “genius”, but in this case, it is more than appropriate.
Gripping narration on Schiele, with display of his impactful grotesque expressions. Really a privilege to be able to listen, see and attempt to evolve the understanding of art..
As an art student in late 60s Mucha was very well loved. Proved his art was timeless!! In 2024 still beautiful and people especially other artists are going to exhibitions of original posters of his. If I read his history I had forgotten his tragic end. RIP From Canada 🍁.
Scientists now have proof.. Johannes Vermeer used AI Websites to create his hyper realistic paintings.. he was known as the MOP of the dutch golden age.. "MASTER OF the PROMPT"
This is an excellent educational video on Artemisia's life and work. The video retains the viewers' interest from start to finish. Congratulations to its creators. For anyone who wants to know more about the Baroque artist they can also take a look at Jennifer Dale's short film, "Becoming Artemisia," currently available on youtube.
Had never heard of Beardsley until I read a recent interview with Junko Mizuno who cited him as a major influence in addition to her own Japanese upbringing amidst manga, anime, and toys. Wonderful overview of the artist and his work--thank you!
When talking about 60's poets and musicians you forgot to mention the 'Lizard King' who was inspired by Blake to call his band 'The Doors'! Small gripe though, great content, very interesting...
Blake draws elegant women in dreamscape realms. He is fiercely uncommercial, uncontaminated. And although other-worldly, his work smashes the narrow-minded rationalism and naturalism of the scientific age and references historical treasures that the Enlightenment was increasingly ignoring. It is fitting that the Pre-Raphaelites would be inspired by him.
Ever wondered what William Blake’s poetry would sound like to modern day music. Wonder no more. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZJ3NrN7Uy5s.htmlsi=WCjKDgIlBT5CHX2n
