Merci Madame

Another fun fact was that Lord Mansfield's great niece Lady Elizabeth, her eldest daughter later married Charles Hope, whose sister Mary Hope actually married the brother of this 'Miss Murray' father Lady Elizabeth's grandson later married daughter of 2nd Marquess of Anglesey, who was first cousin with this 'Miss Murray' since her mother was sister to 1st Marquess of Anglesey

I'm very sorry to bother you and it's rare I comment on these things but on studying vermeer I discovered that he painted a sepia under drawing first , all of his paintings have been studied. He starts with sepia under drawing then fills it with paint. It is impossible to simply paint straight away like this as if by magic. I enjoyed your talk and learnt a lot. Thankyou

Thank you for this video .. I am related to Dorothea , she is written in my family tree papers from my grandfathers side , his mother Edith Bonnie rose through the Bland family . Francis bland and Grace Phillips daughter of Rev Phillips . Then through marriage to FRANCIS CRUMPE we have issue Nathaniel crumpe Bland who took Dorothea’s fathers name .

The study of a woman and the painting of Rubens wife and son, is a remarkable likeness, they really do seem like the same woman. One of Reynolds pupils may well have painted Reynolds wife.

after seeing Tim's Vermeer and hearing about devices the artist may have used I still have the same thought, those devices require still objects, so how did he paint real people given they'd move around

2 paintings featuring a man: Astronomer & Geographer.

Thanks a lot for this interesting lecture which is a great complement to my next visit to the exhibition and helps to understand better the Sargent´s masterpieces.

Wow, some people seem to want to find something wrong with almost everything. How on earth does anyone see something sexual in that painting of two children playing with a kitten? I think the critic is the one with the problem.

After 20 minutes of your lecture is so boring I need two espresso! Next time get to point pleaseeeee zzzzzzzzzzzz

Thank you for such a wonderful insight into a woman of so many talents.

No tuvo suerte,tres hombres la quisieron,ninguno de ellos penso en asegurarle una vida decente.

Informative about these wonderful, mysterious paintings. Kenwood House is certainly (and deservedly) fortunate to have one.

This lecture and presentation of Benton End is a very pleasant end to my evening. Grateful thanks, Friends of Kenwood and Mr. Woodward.

I loved your video! Many thanks! And bless them all 💕

Great presentation. It’s so hard to find good scholarly documented material; even on art! Anyway… This presentation is phenomenal.🧑‍🎨♾️👨‍🎓

This was so interesting. I've always loved his paintings .He was very talented . I feel really sad for him with his mental health problems

Thanks a lot for making us to know this very hidden aspect of the great Sir. Joshua Reynolds wich enlarge him. Very interesting lecture.

Interesting....audio quality might be improved?

I have onlt just found this very informative talk - a year after the event. Angela Cox really does give the lowdown on the whole business of portraiture in the Georgian period with many detailed facts that underpin the whole creative process at the time. These Friends of Kenwood You Tube videos are a treasure trove

Wonderful presentation . I am deep in research about John Quinn. Just began learning more about Gwen John. Thank you for your thoughtful and inspiring lecture.

Just saw the Interior in the Osaka Museum, thanks to the Tate, and it was wonderful to grasp some of the background of hammershoi. Thank you for the lecture.

Really enjoyed the bio and the art. Loved her confidence.

A big secret of Vermeer’s was the fact that he did not paint several. And those several are the amateur ones, like the Guitar Player. That was executed in a paint by number style as are the others. His daughter, Maria was the likely artist. Now here is the proof… Vermeer, of course painted TGWTPE which is obviously, Maria. He painted his other daughter, Elizabeth called Portrait of A Young Lady. Note.. her age. Someone else painted Elizabeth at that age too. The dark haired girl in front of a spinet. That painting is cringingly bad. Certainly not by the master. This information is now coming to light after the exhibition at the Rijks Museum.

Women were dispensible tool for men's pleasures. We've come a long way.

Of course the Flemish used optics to trace. It wasn't and isn't a secret. Painters were thought of as no different than we think of day laborers today. They were just unskilled labor. They weren't painting secrets, allegory or anything else. They painted what they could capture by the optical devices and what the buyer wanted. Nothing more. Painters today are thought of as artists. Although most of them trace and pretend tracing is acceptable, they wouldn't dare admit it to a buyer. Not in a hundred years. They absolutely hide their projectors, cameras, light boxes, dark rooms, etc when company comes. If tracing were acceptable they wouldn't feel the need to lie about it or hide it from the buyers.

Great talk, Matthias. Your passion is clear!

Great speaker. Fascinating talk. Beautiful artwork. Thank you

Madame , one of Madame's husbands isn't the portrayed, the portrayed is the Count Dukes of Olivares by Velazquez and ... isn't "Mr Howard" Thomas Howard, the 14th earl of Arrundel?

An excellent lecture- perfect for the general public. Brava!!!!! Dr Kilgarreff has also presented these great portaits beautifully against a royal-blue background. Luscious!

Thanks for this video o love Emma ❤ so much

Thank You

Another excellent video, Ms Cox. Thanks!! It's interesting (provocative?) that the view of the head is identical in all three portraits-could he have used the same drawing as reference? Granted, though, the alignment of the features in the Kenwood portrait is different from the othet two.

An excellent lecture, Ms Cox. Thank you! It's too bad that the audio wasn't better. As a successful portrait painter, I'm particularly glad that the practicalities of painting are talked about here. People talk about the "superiority" of being at the level of a "professional painter" without realising that "professional" means you're painting for money!

If he used a camera then why did he use a pin to draw perspective lines?

It is not sexual, racial, religious or national belonging that makes a human being a great artist or an incurable imbecile, dear friend... And you know it well. Bailly Alice was an artist because she possessed the natural assets common to all painters on this planet and not because she was a woman.

I’m sure she was no more ambitious than the men who used her.

Last comment…to me the bad pulls Dido back, restrains her.

I prefer the term pseudo-scientific race studies.

It is interesting she was not able to marry until her Lord died…raised my eyebrows.

Thank you…finally a video which doesn’t require me to write a long educational post about the reality of slavery and Dido’s position. I’m 71 and have spent most of my life studying the human need to look down upon and abuse other human beings as a means to assert superiority, as well as satisfy human greed…the three are interrelated. I’ve also studied the condition of “bastard” children in these same societies. People can be opposed to slavery and still look down upon people of African descent. I agree that the context of these paintings should exist next to them. I once had a similar argument with the curator of Native American objects…one was a woman’s dress filled with bullet holes surrounded by blood stains, certainly from a massacre. I returned the next day to find the dress taken down and the curator nowhere to be found. I felt both very angry and grief stricken. My grandmother was Chickasaw…her presence in my life along with vicious violent acts I saw as a child under Jim Crow informed my life’s studies. If we do not learn and describe the context of history, we are doomed.

I don't believe that Vermeer uses a camera obscura to trace outlines. His tiled floors would have been particularly easy to do with a projection device but these were constructed with a chalked thread and a vanishing point (visible in some of his pieces) He may well have studied projected images of sitters and studied the depth of field effect and specular highlights produced by lenses, incorporating them later into his work.

There have been recent letters stating Frances was warm and loving.

What about Lady Nelson?

I never noticed until watching this talk, what a BEAUTIFUL job he did on the blank, painted walls. So many subtle variations of the light going across it.

One thing about virtuosos, whether painters, composers, or writers, is that they bring a freshness to their work that can last for centuries!!! Ed Olsen

Perhaps some of us are unaware that so-called white people are literally pretending to be Black people Europe, Brittain, Ireland, And Scandanavia and Russia and Scotland and the rest of the world was ruled by Israelites is up until around 1750. Google black European royalty. White people have no history and heritage. Why would white people be named Stuart, Moore, Blake, Blackman, Morrison, Jacobson, Isaacson, and Mohr, Brown, etc. White people are sick. They act as if Black people forgot who we are and what was stolen. 👊🏿🕎🏹⚔️🌽
