Andrew is the reason I have spent my retirement going to see every single Caravaggio in Europe

@andrewwilton5017 Месяц назад

Omg what a fun endeavour! I have seen 24 of his works. How many have you seen so far? Which is your favourite?

The great thing about Andrew Graham-Dixon (both in his writing and his broadcasting) is that he makes art accessible through his enthusiasm and doesn't assume that we are morons... which quite frequentlly... And, BTW massive kudos to our host (God in all her/his/its forms bless and love him forever) for organising the interview.

This is such a fantastic talk! I was so pleased to see Andrew Graham-Dixon talking about his book. I have to admit I've read and re-read 'Caravaggio: A Life Sacred and Profane' 5 times. I think this is the book anyone interested in Caravaggio should be required to read. Thanks Andrew a serious gem of art history literature.

Thank you Alex. This book is required reading for Caravaggio followers most definitely.

The introduction is a very succinct description of how the class system functions in the UK.

Andrew is a great presenter, writer and entertainer. I hope he presents more Shows in the future. I am so use to seeing him with black hair and a little younger, from watching his shows on The madness of vermeer snd Who killed caravaggio. lol. i hate seeing him vape though. it’s so unhealthy

Can’t wait to read Andrew Graham Dixon’s book. Hi Judi.

@thepaintedsoul 3 года назад

Thanks for such a wonderful interview with Mr. Graham-Dixon. I love his work and the Caravaggio title is new to me. I will check it out. It's exciting to know he is also working on the Vermeer book. Vermeer's work has been a constant source of appreciation for me, so I'm anxious to find out his take on Vermeer. And thank you for asking great questions. They really helped flesh out the arc of his Caravaggio book.

@BookTalkToday 3 года назад

You're welcome. You're right it was also exciting to hear that he is writing a book on Vermeer. I'm looking forward to reading it.

@davidwright8432 Год назад

Read, enjoyed and was informed by the book; enjoyed the video; thanks to you both! But what strikes me is that Aun could have stepped from a Caravaggio painting! Just a little more directional lighting, and 17th century clothing, and he'd have stepped back into it.
