I'm sitting observing one of the other versions in Toronto (The Art Gallery of Ontario). There are some differences, but much of the analysis feels the same. The floor is different, and very linear. It draws the eye almost along the timline of the next few days. Out imtoemward the pool, and eventually the Atch in that background). There's even a bench positioned in just the right spot to observe the painting from the perfect angle. I can't imagine that's coincidence.
Why did you show a portrait of Louis XIV when mentioning the death warrant of Louis XVI? They’re not the same person, nor did they remotely look alike.
This was an incredibly detailed and cohesive video. Thank you for having a thorough explanation and the inclusion of chapters in the video to help us out. Amazing work!
So sorry I didn't see this, and I appreciate the offer. If you are still inclined to donate, I have a Patreon connect on my website at KellyBagdanov.com
I’m a Pisano on my mothers side.Direct lineage my family came to America in the 1920s from Naples then my grandfather Vincent Pisano and his family moved to Vermont after he got sick with Alzheimer’s.My aunt and I are the only artists. My cousin the only boy to carry the Pisano name passed away a few years ago very young and the blood is still here but the name may be lost to history. I wanted to carve in stone before I even knew who I was which explains a lot.
I live in DC and have spent hours viewing this painting, the two obscure images that flank the stain glass have baffled me for years. Thank you, a most illuminating essay.
Your video essays are very well done, thank you. One idea you might want to consider: the font you're using is perhaps wrong for the material, more appropriate to a birthday party announcement than a serious inquiry into art and ideas. Plus, capitalizing everything also is maybe too much, especially combined with the playful font. But mainly, I like your videos. Thank you.
Apparently Michael was arrested for sodomy with other men on several different occasions. That explains his yearning to paint the images of nude men and young boys. And of course a pope would commission Michael to paint nude men and young boys in the Sistine chapel... Thats kind of their thing. That was like hanging the Playboy centerfold up on your wall as a horn dog staight male. "I hung Miss January on the wall because of the artistic photography" LOL, sure you did...
Me too! Thanks for commenting. The only other one in video form is Durer's Rhinoceros, which is actually two videos. One tells the backstory and the other looks at the print. Here is the link to the video...www.kellybagdanov.com/2019/02/15/durers-rhinoceros-where-science-and-imagination-meet/ I've also written about Durer's Nativity woodcuts on my website, where I look at several different woodcuts. www.kellybagdanov.com/2017/12/15/albrecht-durer/ And if you like woodcuts, one of my favorite, and often unknown items is prayer nuts. Tiny miniature engravings, they are fascinating. Here is a short video on those. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6a8eOLKpWjo.html
I love this painting. Very close to my heart as a muslim. Especially the fact that Spain is making this paint from Palestine and not saying Israel. This is huge for proven history. Love the work you guys do. ❤
Thank you. When I think of Palestine I hope for justice, mercy, dignity, and peace, but they are just words and it is but it's hard to see the way forward.
Thoroughly enjoyed learning from this video. Thanks for the in-depth look and analysis. Talking about a dense work by a master in a short video for a world with shorter attention span is a feat in itself. I really appreciated your effort!
Those horrible lesions, boils, and sores on the body of Christ could not be taken for granted. The 'Son of Man' have taken on himself the pain and suffering of those afflicted and being attended in St Anthony's Monastery-Hospital. Gruenewald expresses a unique and meticulous symbolism in his painting. The 'Tour' could not have been better. Thank you so much for taking us on a journey of awe, Ms. Bagdanov. Cheers
