Why is there a horse near this man’s bed ? A Dear Visit | Layers in Art
Welcome back to another episode from Layers in Art! Today, we take a look at something special, the touching story of the horse visitor, in Max Kurzweil’s “A Dear Visit”, painted in 1894. Largely unknown, Max Kurzweil’s art is a fine example of the new, exciting direction that Austrian art took at the turning of the century. Alongside the likes of Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser and others, Kurzweil was a part of the Viennese elite of young artist that pushed Austrian art into modernity through artistic groups like the Secession or the Wiener Werkstätte. This painting, “A Dear Visit”, is probably his most famous and appreciated. Watch the video for the full story!

In today’s episode, we will be discussing the mysterious art of Sascha Schneider, a German symbolist that the world has largely forgotten about. Sascha Schneider's characters go beyond being mere expressions of homoeroticism, which seems to be the main tag given to his overall body of work; the unique way in which he imagined the beings in his art, really set him aside from other expressionists...

    I brought the postcard scene from a museum shop in Dublin in 2017 and whenever I take it out of my bookshelf at the front I am deeply touched by the attitude of both the grief of unfulfilled longing and love. And at the same time I love this tragedy in the expression because it also shows me the full beauty of human feeling.

    I've always loved this image, and was ignorant of the ballad and it's story. However, I am sorry that I learned the story in this video as it is so horrible. I would have preferred to have been left in ignorance. Still, such a beautiful image takes my breath away.

      Thank you for watching and I'm so sorry the story saddened or disappointed you. It was the fate of many couples in that era, unfortunately. But we can always look at the beautiful image of the two and imagine our own happy ending for them.

      Thank you for watching and commenting! It certainly looks like the situation is serious and i think the horse knows that, in this (maybe) imaginary scene. He did a great job on the horse and on creating the emotion of the scene.

    What a fabulous painting. I thought it was going to be my favourite painting , The Kiss by Francesco Hayez. I may have to revise my favourite ! I particularly like the woman’s hands , her skin tone and hair colour. The man looks like he’s drowned with emotion for her.

  • @wor53lg50

    The moral of the painting is about a baron going on his first crusade not long after marrying his fair maiden and both knowing that he won't be coming back, as such intimate moments of this type of affection would've been very rare in medieval times...also both lady and Baron would've had separate stair cases to use...who's stair case it belongs two is up for imagination or alternative narrative ..

    Just gazing at it makes me want to weep. The saturated colors are a sensuous display , in contrast to the unattainable love so skillfully rendered without so much as a kiss.

    Loved your presentation, but if I may pass along one small note: there's no "S" sound for the "C" in Gaelic; therefore, "Celtic" is pronounced "Keltic" (and yes, America has been goofing this one from the get-go). 😊Cheers!

    I am fortunate to have seen Burton's masterpiece on several visits to Dublin over the years, making it a priority b/c of its limited viewing time. I am always impressed by the sensuality of the pose: he is inhaling her scent -- as well as kissing her, to remember her.

    The word 'Celtic' is pronounced with a 'hard c' sound - 'Keltic'.

  • @danielhughes441
    @danielhughes441 Місяць тому

    “Celtic” is pronounced “KEHL-tick,” NOT “sell-tick.” Maybe proof things like that? Makes your research seems weak when you don’t even know how to pronounce words correctly

    • @LayersInArt

    Watercolour used more like an acrylic, I love it because when I did this in school, it was not accepted as water color. The theme is so prevalent of a time where marriage was assigned not free.
