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...

Thrilling to find out more about Emily Flöge. And, your voice is beautiful! Thank you.
The man seems to have only one leg.
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.
Atmospheric and esthetic arts ❤
I love your voice......
Thank you for your very kind comment! I so happy you enjoyed your time spent watching this video!
😂🎉😢😅❤
❤ Beautiful picture!
Beautiful art.
very likely the patient is terminal so they brought his horse in to say goodbye. The guy holding tha patient up has a sad/concerned look....Max did a great job onthe horse!
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.
Amazing that it is a watercolor.
True!
❤💔
It's exquisite and emotional ❤
A.I narration. No Thanks
Amazing
Turret is accented on the first syllable, not the second! This lackluster voiceover makes it sound like “ terret’s” syndrome
Yes, that is very true, thank you for pointing it out! These kinds of observations only help the channel grow, they are really valuable! So sorry if it was too disturbing to hear repeatedly! Thank you for watching and writing!
Regardless of the backstory, this is one of the most powerfully erotic artworks I've ever seen.
ITS A MADE UP STORY! Very stupid !!!
In this case I just don't want to know. But thank you for this lovely channel! New subscriber. xo
Thank you for watching, subscribing and writing such a kind, lovely comment! Welcome to the channel, I hope you'll have a really nice time here!
get to the point … gave up
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.
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 ..
This was SO well done!! Thank you dear. ❤🖌👍
Thank you for watching, I'm so happy you enjoyed it! ❤🌷
Never would I have imagined this was in watercolor 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful 😍
Beautiful and captivating; so very sad. Love this painting.
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!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to write your observation. It seems I have been goofing it as well, so sorry for the torture of hearing that! Thank you, though, for pointing it out!
DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS...!!!😮 And as a watercolorist myself, I was FLOORED that this wasn't an oil.
I agree, its unbelievable that its not oil! Thank you for watching and writing!
The artist was so accurate in his capturing of the couple's deep emotions that I cried for them! The pain of their grief is timeless!!😢😢
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.
Who painted it?
19th century Irish painter Frederic William Burton.
The word 'Celtic' is pronounced with a 'hard c' sound - 'Keltic'.
“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
Yes, so sorry about that, and thank you for observing and pointing it out. I always appreciate when viewers point out things like this, that help improve my occasional mispronunciation. Thank you for watching!
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.
Wow!
Watercolor!!!??? How is that possible?! It is SO rich for watercolor.
It's true and really astonishing!
What an incredible talent. And, an incredible man. Wow! His work is stunning. Not just the execution of the paintings, but the incredible way he illuminates human feelings from them. He is now one of my favourite painters. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts! So glad you found favorite painter in F. Burton!
When I first saw this a couple years ago (online), I thought it was a photo reenactment. The artist had realistic dimensions so perfectly! The fact that it was done with water colors is even more astounding. Probably my favorite painting ever.
It's an excellent favorite painting to have!
Perfectly Beautiful ♥️
So beautiful , 😉🙏🌟
Such charming times they lived in back then 😏
Irelands Romeo and Juliet.
Why doesn't the museum not comission a copy so people can appreciate it all year round. It's not like the great majority of visitors would know the difference between a poster and an oil painting anyway !
That would be a good solution, a copy using oil pigments, in stead of watercolor (which is to frail to have permanently). Thank you for watching!
AI narration UGH
Its not AI, but thank you for watching!
Posh girl had a fling with one of her security guards, eh? Happens all the time. Beautiful painting.
I love this painting. I made a dress based on it, and it's my favorite historical costume. I didn't know this was water colors. Astounding. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, you made a dress inspired by this painting? That's amazing, I'm sure it's even more beautiful to look at in real life! Thank you for watching!
I was fortunate to enjoy a private viewing of this masterpiece in 1991 at the National Gallery in Dublin. Nowadays, it is difficult to view the painting when it’s only seen for one hour, two times a week..
That's true, its not permanently on display because watercolor is frail and sensitive, but you were one of the lucky ones. Thank you for watching!
Lets find out a bit about 'the author'? Terrible audio 1:09
Sorry about the audio at 1:09, these observations are so useful for improvement! Thank you for watching!
who else thought the knight had one leg in a plaster cast....just me then
