The Ashmolean is the University of Oxford’s museum of art and archaeology, founded in 1683. Our world famous collections range from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art, telling human stories across cultures and across time.
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
I’d like to spend an hour or two with Flora, and just chat about horror films. Raw, and Teeth, are two of my favourite horrors of this century. If you’re out their Flora, I highly recommend May (2000), Alice, Sweet Alice (1976), Black Christmas (1974), Suspiria (1977), and Exte (2007). Thanks for making videos eh.
How beautiful In Panama we are trying as well.... Art bridges tourism and the celebration of our ancestry, fostering the preservation and appreciation of our sovereign indigenous people and the Afro-Caribbean descendants. How beautiful and inspiring! Congrats!
The Global Anus Organization is moving the ships of Nazism (Nano chip) inside us. To organize people. White Nazi, Black Nazi, fighting shoulder to shoulder against humanity. We are at war. (With the cooperation of some Jews and some Brahmins, humanity is being corrupted and killed. EXACTLY AUSCHWITZ, THE SAME.) The same forces carried out the Second World War. He had progressed using the Brahmin Catholic church. The same situation is happening now. The Papacy is making "warning" statements to get rid of this situation. Same scenario. Stalin is expected! (The military age of Multinational Humanity is beyond Stalin. This is necessary.)
"What is the Price of Experience?" has to be one of Blake's greatest poems. Timeless, thought-provoking and powerful - like so much of his masterly work, it reminds us of life's injustices and the need to face them. Simon Paxton has recorded it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8GV3gqxHF2c.html
These are truly magical paintings. I have been to see them four times so far (I drop by if I'm seeing something else at the Ashmolean). Their homage to the Dutch masters is so wonderful to see, the colour blends are truly fantastic. There is a dynamic quality and a harmony of style that draws me in every time; and the way that room reeks of oil paint! So much reminds me of the work of Thérèse Oulton, who had a small exhibition here in the 1980s (and also just down the road at Oxford's MOMA - a similar sized room I visited many times). I hope these works get a wider audience.
She doesn't go into any details about what the pigments are, or what they come from. All she says is he chose durable pigments from both natural and synthetic sources... and that's it. This video was a waste of time.
Why did you mute what she was saying about Christianity? I see I’m not the only one asking and you didn’t bother answering the others. Do you have something against God?
There was forewarning the mountain was alive and was going to blow and big time blow yet the people of these 3 ancient Italian towns believed it was extinct and went on about with their daily lives in light of the earthquakes increasing by the mountain and fountains drying up and sulfuric fumes in pompeii bakery ovens
Fragility, intensity, spareness, tone, mastery of spacial composition and of feeling; those are the qualities which draw so many to Gwen John's paintings, I think. Thank you for this video. Most enjoyable.
A delightful presentation, thank you very much! It is now 2023 and, thank God, the worst of the Pandemic has gone away, but it was quite intense and I can appreciate the effect it must have had on your museum. (As many other places). I truly enjoyed watching and learning more about my favourite group of painters, the Pre-Raphaelites. I hope many people will get to see this program, as you preserved a special moment in time for many more viewers to admire these works. I wish I could see them in person. Many regards to you!
I wouldn't be surprised if William Shakespeare borrowed some ideas from this when he wrote Romeo and Juliette. The parallels are too close to be by chance.
But then again kurdish history wasn’t documented and its very old folk lore spread only by word of mouth. but surprisingly both Romeo and Juliet and Mem & Jin are so similar@@Muham485
Don’t do these at home?! The first time I made a bow drill fire, it was in the kitchen, on the back of a cast open Dutch oven lid. Not my home, mind you, but my brother’s, lol. I make flint and steel fires every time I light a camp fire, yes, even at my own home. It’s certainly no more dangerous (less so, I would argue) than most modern fire making techniques.
