It's been a month you haven't posted anything are you alright if you are travelling or if you are busy that is completely fine I hope everything is fine
Another video of intellectual and aesthetic indulgence. 🥰 This time about one of my all time favorite painters - Albrecht Dürer. 😃 Thank you so much! ❤️
My forefather was friends with Durer. His name was Melchior Lorck and he was an artist himself. He made a portrait of Durer, a profile picture with his long curly hair.
AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! So happy you have a brand new video out! I absolutely love your channel, both for the content and for the cuddly cameos of your feline assistants. Hullo Jimmy the floof!!
And another little point. I've noticed that you work hard to wear a different outfit on each video. As a visual person, I really appreciate that. It is much harder to remember a name. But much easier to remember a particular outfit.
The middle ages in the church did a spiritual exercise called " contemplation of place". Rembrandt did same putting himself in the sea of galilee with christ. A self portrait, but in the context of the object or.place.of the painting
I loved this video. Thank you so much! It only occurred to me now that manet's luncheon on the grass is inspired ( more like borrowed) by Raimondi 's judgement of Paris. I lived in such darkness😭 Durer is so sophisticated and i love his monogram.
Thanks for the education. As a budding art enthusiast, your channel is the perfect gateway to the beauty of human imagination; both past and present. Keep it up!
Hi guys, excellent as ever, I've been eagerly awaiting you next upload with baited breath and you never fail to impress. Quite the occult following for Albrecht, would love to see what these old masters would make with our modern technology and techniques, probably something like your videos... Thank you. 🙋
These ancient painters influenced SO many artists over the centuries... you can see the influence clearly on Paper money and tatoo art today. totally epic compositions. How prolific he was!
@@TheArtTourist as an Intellectual Property lawyer, I was very pleased to learn that Durer's was the first case of copyright infringement! a big bonus for sure (will mention in my classes now 😃)
@@rodrigoestrada8347 Cool!! Some sources say his was the first art-related copyright lawsuit, others say one of the first, but either way sounds like a historic case in your field!
Much learnt. Durer's magnitude immeasurable but eloquently received via your S.C. commentary. Ta! Post-Durer, ironic that Germany took a lone direction, separating artistically from the treads of Italian/French portraiture etc. Why?
Many thanks! I wonder whether it's because of Durer - he seems to have prompted a new kind of German nationalism in art and literature, especially come the 18th and 19th centuries with Goethe, Friedrich, etc.
'Childless for reasons unknown' Historians have speculated that Dürer may have been gay or bisexual, and in a relationship with author Willibald Prickheimer, who he also made a portrait of. (Also, see his 1496 work 'the bath house)'
Agnes was a shrill fish wife with zero understanding or appreciation of Durer's monumental talent and importance, always pushing him to let her flog cheap copies of his prints in the local markets. Plus, yeah, he may well have been gay, too.
If you get to go to Nuremberg, the old city, you will see a contemporary statue of a giant cast bronze Hare emerging from it's den and cruising all of it's children and all other smaller creatures in it's path. I believe it dates to the 1960's when students and artists alike were feeling pretty dammed repressed and overshadowed by the dominance of art created hundreds of years before they had their voice
Gorgeous episode, as always... But I'm not sure about the statement @ 13:00: if Flanders is considered "Northern Europe", surely the Van Eyck brothers' 1432 "Het Lam Gods" was one the first large scale nudes coming out of Northern Europe? With possible earlier examples?
There is a sulpture in Rome's Verano cemetery that has an angel based on a figure in Durer's Melancolia. Near to where I live in Alameda. California are two excellent copies of that Italian sculpture in Oakland's Mountain View cemetery. The two versions are also featured in my video of MV Cemetery: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-arLVVWNh24Q.html
