Art Deco did a video on this so I'm familiar with the story but I'm excited to learn more and hear you tell it, thanks for covering this!

@AmuzeArt 21 день назад

Nice, they may have used the same book for it, as it's a great source of info

Maybe my favorite oil painter...I think that the fallen strap added an element of angular motion to the entire work, I like it.

@AmuzeArt 23 дня назад

I can imagine!

@t.j.payeur5331 23 дня назад

I rarely do this, but could I make a request that you analyze the painting Alexander's Battle by Albrecht Altdorfer? I love that piece of work...@@AmuzeArt

I tried to pose with my arm leaning on a table like this, and it's impossible. I'm too short for one thing, but the main reason is that my arm just doesn't bend that way. Now that I know about that falling strap, and looking at the positioning of that arm, it's as though I'm waiting for the strap to slide right down to Madam Gautreau's wrist. (Now I'm wondering why her ear is scarlet.)

@AmuzeArt 19 дней назад

Haha, I tried the same, and I couldn't hold that position for long. And about the ear, that is her makeup. She made her skin very white, but her ears red.

@deborahberger5816 16 дней назад

I know that pasty white skin was the pinnacle of pulchritude for some women, but I never suspected that they would set out and painted their ears for contrast. Oh well, it's no worse than a nose ring.
