Listed: 50 Random Art History Facts 

My favorite part of the Mona Lisa getting stolen was when crowds of people came to the Louvre to see the empty spot where the painting was. Including Franz Kafka and his best friend Max Brod. Because why the hell not at this point. 🪲

13:55 Aaaahhhh, Wyeth. I grew up nearby, just down Route 1 from Chadds Ford. He was "one of our local guys," like Jim Croce and Teddy Pendergrass. What a beautiful picture.

Thank you for this most informative presentation.

Loving the variation in style, some wonderfully interesting facts in there!

this channel 🔥🔥🔥🔥 criminally underrated.

Your channel is a class act, a professional presentation that breathes life into the art world. Excellent narration, content, and visuals. Bravo.

Loving this varied content :) hoping for more varied content apart from the usual artist portfolios. Great work as usual !!

i'm a total physics nerd and i'm losing my goddamn mind that i'm hearing Kolmogorov's name in an art theory video. awesome

My God. If only I had found this channel earlier... With such intriguing stories about these artists, you are def not helping me get away from RU-vid! But actually, thank you for doing such a great job of this... I am intrigued by the artist's social interactions, the changing hands of the paintings, the shady underbelly of the art-dealer world and the whole she-bang. Although I've already read about most of these stories on this video, it cements (as well as adds information) to my slowly-failing memory. I will soon research your channel fully, and I must say that it is also a pleasure to listen to your well-produced audio (as I currently suffer from tinnitus and can't stand listening to most people or background music). Kudos and Thank you, Paul (or Chris) from New Mexico

Very informative and interesting facts of these wonderful artists. Thx for sharing love.

Love this channel

This channel is so under rated

Beautiful work

I love these random facts! Especially the cat-based ones

I love this!

Fascinating.

Nice like this segment!

Brilliant channel

Love this! I hope another facts compilation is coming soon! Small note that Jean Michel Basquiat was already pretty famous and successful by the time he connected with Andy Warhol and started to collab with him.

Nice 👍

An enlightening compendium! I love when you cover the Pre-Raphaelites. They aren't really, I would think, my cup of tea, but that Rossetti "Proserpine" knocked my socks off, again (because you've shared it before). I must look into Paul Jordan Smith and his hoaxes. I sense a kindred spirit there. That Kandinsky painting covered so much ground that is attributed to the audacity and radicalism of American Abstract Expressionists. That photo of Klint is stunning, and what a notion to insist one's own work be hidden from the public, posthumously, for two decades! Un, I'm working on my third video on the "Salvator Mundi" which will, I think, persuade anyone who watches it through that what we are seeing is a hybrid between restoration and original intent. The Monal Lisa was in Napoleon's bedroom?! Was it old master erotica? Congratulations on pronouncing the Singer Sargent's Madam X's real name. I can't help wondering if that took more than one cut. I have a pet notion that art is a bit like math, and the more complex it is, the fewer people genuinely understand it, which is why T.S. Eliot's "Cats" is his most beloved work, and Van Gogh's "Starry Night" appeals so much more to initial audiences than to the artist's own sensibility.

interesting facts

That one about mackintosh was new for me but a very interesting one

I would like to see an episode of "know the artist" on Velázquez!

#39. 12:06 Henry Ossawa Tanner Thanks for this I never took an art class in college but a blind man could see Tanner's mastery of light and its absence is Bangin'! Edit:. To say the least! Looked him up right away.

I am a collage artist and would love to see you profile painters who didn't shy away from collage-making, such as Motherwell and Matisse.

I like your vidoes :)

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is horrible, I discovered a channel where I want to watch every video, and it's -mumbles- AM on a Sunday morning (I'm still up). Charming and entertaining. Are you the T? I see a resemblance, but I don't know the piece. So much to look forward to! SUBBED. If I was to request one, it would be the guy that does the abandoned giant robots art from the past decade or so. Or a video on Luminism. I also like Steve Hanks, if I'm reflecting on art I've enjoyed. And the one with the woman in the carriage looking down you. Edit: found some of my references: The Unknown Woman, Ivan Kramskoi, 1883. Reflecting, Steve Hanks. Simon Stålenhag, landscapes of dead robots. Albert Bierstadt, Luminism. Elliana Esquivel, "Procrastination”, "Homebody". And MOBA, the Museum Of Bad Art.

Gustav Corbet please

The ‘turbulence’ you describe is a depiction of the swirling clouds common in the south of France created by the mistral wind. It’s a common phenomenon around Arles and Saint Rémy where Vincent spent his last few years.

Dizzying pursuits, enjoyably trivial and not so trivial I take the liberty of two quibbles: as regards M's 'David', Mr Arturo had to work with a split stone which contributed to his devising the enlarged parts of the sculpture - yes/no? and Kadinsky may be the pioneer of a formally defined school of abstract art, but there are major elements of abstraction as far back as the 12th century (ink works of the Chinese, et al), not to mention abstract approaches in early sculpture and, heavens above/below/on terra ferma: the works of Mister Turner himself, all at sea with his tempestuous colours. But I will welcome any correction, if agreement cowers! Ta, Ms S.C.!

I would.like you to do a bio on michael bookouts art

15:33 my favorite black artist found in my book that he had a thug life momments
