Art in Florence: Botticelli 

Thank you very much for making these lectures available online! They add so much to my appreciation of Botticelli and my current attempt to know more about the Italian Renaissance art scene. (Also very much admire the good humor of your responses to the negative comments below! Though why people take the time to gratuitously insult something graciously provided for free is beyond me...)

Love your enthusiasm, looking forward to more videos from you and Caleb.

What an entertaining and interesting lecture. We watched it prior to going to visit the Galleria dell'Academia and enjoyed viewing the David even more. Thanks!

It would add so much depth to your lectures if they focused on the artwork itself (with the lecturer depicted to one side as a small side or 'cameo' image). The current format--a washed-out slide photograph of the art being discussed, and several rows of the backs of onlookers' heads---detracts from what is being said about the artwork. (Love your humour, btw!)

So much more could have been added. Apparently entry level lecturer.

Thank you for your true interest and enthusiasm for the topic. You are informative and engaging.

This was really interesting to watch, thank you very much for uploading it!

Dear Jonas Gallery and Sarah Jones, Thank you so much for creating and uploading this. Very interesting with good context explanation! I also love the infectious enthusiasm of the lecturer!! Only one little thing: Sometimes I would like to take a closer look at the patinings and photographs which you show in good quality without always googeling it :) so maybe you could blend it in a little bit longer in future videos.

Enjoyed! Thank you.

Great presenter ;o)

45:40 at this point I don't know if she is really mesmerized by Botticelli's style or if she loathes it that much that she really had nothing to say.

49:20 ok now i get it

I really appreciate the presentation and effort and I’m sure the presenter has a long road ahead of her to deal with this tipe of format. Some positive feedback : -reduce stating obvious impressions that everybody would say and say at least 3 important aspects of one specific subject. - as much as I value the enthusiasm try to make the presentation controlled in planning - years and timelines are always good to start so you don’t digress - never discourage other places for people to visit - there’s a fine line between being friendly likable and imposing intellectual superiority. People want to listen about valuable information from a legitimate professor/historian not my best friend who went to visit florence in the summer. All the best and further successes!

33:03 she clearly doesn't know when to stop, basically she is like me.

she's done thank god omg now im gonna have to find a lecture on this lecture to get it right i was not looking for more work but thank you anyways lady

this was amazing! were the other lectures recorded?

Ggghhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrr!!!

lol she's hilarious

Botticelli boring??!!...she seemed nervous. It was hard to follow.

HALF OF THE LECTURE WASN’T EVEN ABOUT BOTTICELLI-

Dreadful... 4 minutes was my limit with this whatever it is..... this is not a lecture.....

I thought I could hear something about Botticelli, but the presenter was unbearable, so, thumbs down all the way

I’m sorry but this was so hard to listen. It basically felt like torture.
