To Not Know Your World History……is foolish…..what an EXCELLENT way to inspire children….adults to be life long learners then to study ARTHISTORY…..with this CREW of Specialists…..they are Top Notch…..

I'm fresh out the shower myself, so this feels right. 😌 "Is this a male nude or a nude male?" That certainly wouldn't have been a question I had, but it's an interesting distinction to make! I guess the idea is male nude = iconic, heroic and nude male = portrait of an everyday person.. The point about the man being in a towel rather than regalia was a good one. People have curious expectations between the sexes, but I understand it to a degree. This is a great painting, though. Good for Caillebotte having the courage to do something different.

Sensacional!!

Adjusted for inflation, this painting for which George Innis was paid $75, this from an inflation calculator ... What cost $75 in 1857 would cost $2493.5 in 2023. Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2023 and 1857, they would cost you $75 and $2.24 respectively.

Sandro Botticelli 1445 - May 17, 1510 on a day like today Botticelli Dies😢

The title of this one really resonates with me. It's been raining (and knocking out my Internet, which has me steaming), and I'm still trying to make progress with great speed, lol. I've also been on a train for the first time just last month. I'm sure it was different to what's being portrayed here, but I can't imagine seeing a powerhouse transport method like this for the first time in history. What a revelation that must've been. I get a strong sense of velocity from the detail view of the train (around 3:00). And I was surprised to hear about the little rabbit heading for the hills! I would've missed it otherwise. 🤭 The way you both described this scene really brought the piece to life.

They say that because there was a lake in the same spot as the Colosseum and they removed it to build the Colosseum that's a good example of the Romans shaping the world/nature to their needs, but they neglect to mention that the lake was man made in the first place, so it's a good example x2

Thank you! Excellent video bringing the history and theology together in a positive light. ❤✝

2:16 2:18 2:21 5:54 The moon in eclipse; the bare bones of death. Visited an exhibition of Tamayo's paintings in East Los Angeles in the late '70s/early '80s, with my sibling. Tamayo is an amazing artist. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻

I cannot express the quality and value that this channel is bringing to people. It helps not only with expanding our knowledge of art and history, but of english vocabulary as well. Thank you, team of Smarthistory.

Painted in the middle of a World War II, at a time when no-one knew what the outcome would be.

If you’re going Italy this place is a must, nothing blew my mind seeing this in person than anything esle I saw in Rome

love watching your videos.......very informative.....I am curious if you take suggestions from your viewers....would love to hear your analysis of the recent portrait of King Charles.

I love the way Dr. Ramos pronounced the name of the painting. 🔥 I also loved the Colima dog figure - very cute! This piece, though... lol. I can't get over the thick vein (or loose skin) going down the dog's body... In combination with those pupil-less eyes, it kinda freaks me out a little. "Guernica" is another crazy piece. I can see how it would've inspired this one. Very interesting as always. ❤

If I had seen it in the time, this wouldve easily been something I would've chased after for years, just to stare at the pages time and time again. it is stunning and probably was even more incredible back in the day, even considering the limitations.

“The artist desires ‘AMALGAMATION’ of two worlds as the docent expressed……for me it reads the sense of a world gone mad in 1942…..with the moon continuing in its natural cycle day in and day out…….whether or not….this is great sharing in social media today….

Any relation to Miró’s “Dog Barking at the Moon”? painted about 20 years earlier

There is no canine in Mexico this fat. A graphic image symbolizing the dogs of war and the lust for more. King has already cleaned those bones and is howling for more of the same.

I see the dog as in a kind of triumphant "carpe diem" expression. The dog seems to have eaten all of the meat off the bones in the bowl as well as the ground; and howling as if to say, "it is finished!." This, to me, alluded to Christ being lifted up on the cross and looking up saying, "it is finished!" before drawing His last breath. Then, as the moon suggests, it went dark for some hours after His death.

It kind of looks like a cow to me

There's a feeling of restrained fury in the dog.

🇲🇽

beautiful - the way some colors are so precise, and some almost like watercolors, blending into others.

Are their skulls elongated or is only my impression?? 😮 Is there any correlation with the elongated skulls in Peru?

My families church, Mother A.M.E. Zion was located in Senaca Village.

This is my favourite pot too!!

Cheer~~~a small building for Christian worship, typically one attached to an institution or private house.😊

This is a wonderful place. Visited many times and found something magical about it each time. Especially taking pictures under the 'gate'!

The accents here immediately got my attention. ❤ His spear not looking very strong made me laugh - it looks like a piece of string! Maybe that's a bit intentional? He doesn't need a huge weapon with his strength and skill, maybe... I love the multicolor aspect of the dragon. They're usually monochromatic (at least in my experience), so that's fun. "The continual struggle that George is doing and that we're doing." Hear, hear! Solid note to end on! lol.

on the east side of the metope is depicted not the battle between the Gods against the Titans, but the battle between Gods against the Giants.

Babylon the Great, City of Cities, Queen of the World, how I wish I could have seen it's splendour

So beautiful

Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de transcription en français, on est pourtant au Louvre !

It's fascinating discovering the art styles practised by different cultures around the world. This dramatic, vividly coloured sculpture reminds me of the artwork intrinsically linked with Mexico - Alberijes. It may be depicting a real creature, but the eagle has strong mythical meanings. And the way this bald eagle is perched on the prickly pear cactus, with its wings stretched around it, at first glance, the two seem to merge together creating a strange, dangerous creature. The flbreglass gives it a beautiful sheen.

Photography was considered to be an art at the time: 1:56

Such sensual form.

Absolutely gorgeous ‼️

Crystal Bridges! ❤ That first view of the eagle was gorgeous! I'm not used to that dramatic sheen on sculptures, so I was immediately curious what it's made from. "If you have looked at the Mexican flag..." I have not! I was used to the colors, but never paid much attention to the eagle in the center, so that was interesting to learn about. I love how the artist's automotive background enabled him to use materials that gave this piece such a unique look. Another Smarthistory banger to ease the pain of Monday, lol. Glad I caught it.

Nice! Amazing video

Oh my gosh, the initial view of this (Eros) sculpture was hilarious! Eros is LAID OUT, lol! Gone! Taking my dream nap, to be sure. It's true I don't typically associate Greek sculpture with cuteness. I think of strong, muscular heroes. Courage, valor, and violence. The initial view of the Old Market Woman had a very different effect... It was disturbing. 😅 It makes me think of how Vermeer wanted to appreciate the otherwise unhailed daily moment in his paintings. Both statues really did challenge my assumptions about Greco-Roman art! I wouldn't have expected either.

These are great. Keep it up!

It makes me feel so proud! The work execution is exquisite!

THE SMITH'S, have this song--THE BOY, with a thorn, in his side". Perhaps, somebody can sing, a similar song? The boy with a thorn, in his foot🙂.

I am so fortunate to have seen "The Book of Kells" in the Trinity College Library in 1969 when I was traveling the British Isles studying Celtic Art. This was during my 4 years at the Art School here in Vancouver, Canada. am also fortunate to own a "COPY" of this manuscript published by Thames and Hudson and written by François Henry. I cherish it dearly. I do know that not too many copies were made, but I do not know much more than that. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for this beautiful video today, on Mother's Day. A perfect gift in reminding me of my initial interest in Celtic Art and illustrations. I have been wanting to resurect my small apartment studio to "begin again " my creative work. Thank you so much. ✨️✝️☘️

3:04 Cille......as in "El"!? So you're telling me Superman's irish? 🦸🍀

When I saw this piece in Colmar I had never heard of it. I was blown away. I still get goosebumps when I think about it. Truly a divinely inspired masterpiece.

"This is really creepy!" was funny. 🤭 What an interesting piece, though... I'm having difficulty expressing it, but it has a unique look that immediately grabbed my attention. When I think of religious paintings, this isn't the style (nevermind the subject) I'd think of, which I appreciate. The story echoes what was taught in church today: regardless of where you wind up, you won't be there alone and will be provided for. Nice to have that punctuated here. And the idea of landscapes conveying the ancient, redemption, or moral ideas is an intriguing one. I'm reminded of the video I watched yesterday and how the garden conveys romance. Mountains are associated with obstacles and/or triumphs, etc. As for your response to my comment yesterday, I saw and appreciated that so much that I'm keeping the notification on my phone. I'm starting many somewheres at the moment (e.g. voiceover auditions, submitting my book to Amazon today(!!!), starting a RUclips channel in the coming week), so I find it encouraging. ❤

this seems to be common practice to carve these images of victory, Egyptians did it maybe this is borrowing from that culture, though it seems to have fallen out of practice in modern times. Although I guess you could say the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima might be a modern equivalent.

I know I'm alone here, but I think they are more aesthetically appealing unpainted.
