Narrative Art History
Приєднався 21 січ 2023
Art from 500 years ago can make modern people see differently. Studying art teaches us not only history but also invaluable analytical skills critical to so many fields today. Art makes you empathize and examine. Perhaps most importantly, it fosters curiosity and connection. It introduces you to the diversity of thinking, culture, and iconography, of ways of representation, of social values. That’s why we study art history: to see the power and potential of a work of art and to understand the meaning a work of art can have.
This series is intended to showcase those meanings and elucidate them. And I hope that in looking at these great works of art you can find your own meaning in them and in art history.

(S2 E3) Portraits, 1434-1494: Florence meets Flanders | A Narrative Art History of the Renaissance
In this episode: Memling, Botticelli, Pisanello, and their contemporaries.
This spring, “A Narrative Art History of the Renaissance" returns for a second season. Season 2 will take you through the 15th century, covering the period 1420 to 1500 in seven chapters - tracing the birth and development of the Renaissance in Italy, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, and beyond.
This series aims to present Renaissance art in coherent context rather than as a disconnected collection of facts and artworks to be memorized. The focus here is not on individual artworks - although in-depth analyses of specific works are featured, too - but on the bigger picture of the Renaissance, foregrounding cross-cultural influences and artistic dialogues. It requires little to no background in art history.

Excellent work..Thank You so much for your dedication to the arts and their history

Johnson Mark Harris Gary Moore Richard
Will there be any more of these vids in future? They are incredible.
Good talk and slow enough to understand with the images of the painting.
Thank you!
Cecilia Gonzaga, the daughter of the marquis of mantua, is not a princess.
Great, but PLEASE stop the inappropriate music....it makes it hard to listen through it.
I am really loving this series! Thank you.
In another video, it points out that the London Virgin of the rocks, has a penis formation of the rocks. Supposedly thats why the church rejected it, and also because he didnt add halos.
Fantastic start to the series. Exactly my type of video. Incredibly high quality, and a real treat in 1080p. Peak UA-cam!
I remember when youtube had more of this simple, yet well written content. So refreshing.
Sensational!!!
Amazing!! Thank you!!!
Lay-all-TA
Love it
This almost brought me to tears it was so well done.
I discovered your channel and I love it. I am very grateful that you share with us your knowledge and your unique narrative form that helps us understand the paintings in a deeper way, the moment in which they were made and why they were made that way.
St. John and Mona Vanna must both be the same sitter...Salai.
I was fortunate to live in Firenze for a year studying for my Post Baccalaureate certificate in Italian Renaissance art. It was one of my best life decisions to study there. ^^
where is the rest?
This is the best video I've watched on the artist's of the Renaissance. It's so informative, intersecting and has explained things I didn't know . Could you not keep going through the centuries to the present day? 😀
Superb series! And I am thrilled for the 2nd. One of ny top 5 favorites on YT. Cant thank you enough. This is so beautifully done. It should be a high school course. Just really excellent!
Bravo, these videos are great, thank you.
ive been an artist and a art history lover for a long time, but I'm learning and seeing works that I havent seen before, very refreshing.
In horse drawn carriages. Like so many other valuable and desirable goods and products at the time.
This channel is a go-to for information. It's the best!
Dziękujemy.
I just finished watching all existing episodes and this is probably the best youtube channel there is! Thank you, Sir! Please, keep making more! I can't wait!
Such a wonderful series. I love how you show the paintings so we can view them
I love the portraits made of fruit. We can see how modern artists have used these
This is so fascinating and educational so thanking you for all your hard work. Regards Mary Ann Partridge
These are the best ever I’m drawing right now!!
I LOOOOOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!! Thank you creators.🎉😢
♥️💐👏
I am so disapointed you do not have more views and subscribers, you are my favorite channel on youtube
So enjoy your series. I am learning so much. Thank you.
thank you so much for this wonderful art history !!! It should be manditory for art students
cannot hack the fruity voice...gone to the University Library instead...so long a au reviors
"A three-headed creature is guarding hell..." You mean Cerberus?
So good
I'm glad I found you all! Thanks!
Spectactuclar topic done with mastery - portraiture influence between Italy and Low Countries/Flanders is absolutely facinating subject that has no end. Very interesting and not widely familiar works and your narrative is kind and moving.
As usual you have taken me on a fabulous journey. Love your videos thanks
Dig it!
I loved this. Thank you so much!
You mention "there were extensive commercial connections between Italy and Flanders and paintings did travel..." Would you please elaborate on that process? How did paintings travel?
ua-cam.com/video/-qfFCPBwzxg/v-deo.htmlsi=EF_8B2AtWvrPVF4i I happened upon this video that provides an example of exactly what you're asking about.
Ooooh you are so amazing!!! I was so hoping for a season two! Thank you so so much for all you do!!
Actually it's not matter of Churchill,W. smoked any cigar but how A.D. it's not drunk when seeing you these..
Evacuate evacuated from any it's not of because invasion Nazi Germany
Thank you, especially for showing the paintings without intruding yourself into the video. I also appreciate that you used punctuation in your speech so that it did not sound like gabbling! I enjoyed your researched commentary. My memory of the Ghent Altarpiece will be with me forever as the custodians had highlighted under a magnifying glass one of the exquisite plants - so beautiful.
The best art history videos I've seen. Thanks for sharing.
