I did notice that the White Van Gogh used, must be Lead White from the cracks, Corot's painting reminds me as some what of a Tonalist approach. The Renoir I've never seen before anywhere in my books or elsewhere, amazing, I wonder if he ever saw Vermeer's view of Delft. Great stuff, thank you for the post.
I really enjoyed the tour of these fabulous paintings and your commentary. Thank you for sharing this. I'm fortunate in that I live in Ottawa with the National Gallery of Canada which houses many masterpieces from the great Masters, both older and more modern. It's a thrill to see many of these pieces of art up close and personal.
Great video! I’m so glad you took the time to show and point out what you saw in these great paintings; you had my attention! So glad I subscribed to your channel. I enjoy all your videos!🤗
Thank you so much for following along! I knew I wanted to document it because I’m always wondering what other people are thinking when they look at a painting.
Your video draws me back to our conversations we had that day in the restaurant. We had talked about the history of some artists and how the art they did was expressed through their personal lives in the very style they used to represent of the thought and the moment. Thanks for sharing Dennis, another great video to add to your archive.
Thank you for watching! There is so much to learn from these paintings and I was only scratching the surface. I was hoping to see the Turners too but they were on loan to Chicago. I’ll go back.
