My grief heavily impacted my art. Losing my husband was extremely hard and this brought some comfort to me. Nothing makes you contemplate your mortality than losing a piece of yourself. Memories of loved ones can be painful but also very illuminating.
Uhh with that profile picture i'd reconsider my life choices
@@nuggetospaghetto I'm sorry, I don't understand. Is something wrong with it?
I'm sorry for your loss
Making works that are centered around sadness and grief has been my main topic in the recent months and it does give a sense of comfort and relief to make things with topics like these. There is just a whole new level of honesty and personal influence in art like that.
@@modestqueens Look at it, what is that abomination of a pfp?
its not gone, it is the foundation of the castle and walls. that is important. it is what the rest of life is built on.
I have never heard of this painter. The painting of the tired woman made me shed a tear, it hits close to home. Amazing video as always 🫶
I created an art exhibition after the death of my best friend and my father- both died within 5 weeks of each other. It was called “grief and the full cup of Joy” and it was the an extremely healing experience
Got any links to pics of your paintings?
Thank you for these deep dives into art! I’ve learned a lot and enjoy these videos so much.
Aww thanks! Super happy to hear it :)
@@TheCanvasArtHistory is your channel dead
I want to stress at 6:00 that the corpses are painted in really warm colors, almost as if sitting around a campfire, telling happy stories, smiling. The sky, even there where it is light, it rather cold and far, far away. I feel like the dead in there would offer him a warm embrace, since he is done with crying and can now move on to live with the dead, not with grief.
I see! I also thought they resemble cave dweller people from the prehistoric age who are long gone and have an entirely new world built on top of them. It could also serve as a metaphor for the people who dies as revolutionaries for others to build castles on top of their bodies.
@@SylvesterLazarus Oh yeah, I see. It's like the artist painted on top of their ashes and remains -literally- to rise on top. Dead are not seen as creepy and repulsive here, but inviting. Wonderful painting. :D
I never get tired of your content!
Thank you!!!
This hits hard. My pet died a year ago and I'm not used to draw very often, but topics about death came to me often, with my last (and first serious work in a while) drawing being Death from the seventh seal. It felt cathartic
Beautiful artist and beautiful video.
My little brother had a cancer couple years ago and I realise at this moment that my life makes no sense without the people I love. Like the artist maybe I realised that my own death would be easier after. I would not commit a suicide off course but I accepted that life is not as beautiful as we are inclined to think. Life is so painful sometimes and death is not.
Thanks to very skillful and nice doctors my brother finally survived, and I still remember this lesson.
Thank you to make me discover that artist, you are amazing
After my brothers untimely passing 5 yrs ago, my life makes no sense…..grief is a life sentence…
This video was such a good and also emotional watch. The pacing is perfect. But man, what music is that?! Incredible
THIS kind of art is the best type. It speaks, it makes you feel, it make you listen… 🥺🖤
I love how you describe these artists and their works like your discussing a close friend. Cause a lot of art i recognize but didn't know their personal history. And i just like art, i find it a comfort in an ugly world but fine art makes it beautiful and poetic.
Why had I never heard of this artist? His works are wonderful! So atmospheric. Thank you for introducing me to him!
really one of my fave channels
I immediately watch after posting
Thank you so much for your dedication 🫡
Listening to the descriptions of those art pieces in such a beautiful and interesting way makes me want to start painting like my granpa did.. even if he did not become famous he depicted lots of scenarios and used lots of different styles (not in a sad way like the ones in the video). I am just fascinated in having an insight of the artist mind.
what a great artist. first time i heard of him.
tysm for this reminder. ❤
its been years since am in deep rest (depressed) but ur msg at the end rings life.
Beatiful video, I also think that Ring's aproach to death in that last painting is more of a reconciliation with the idea of mortality and those who have fallen due to it. Death now appears to come from the depths of the landscape itself withouth the need of destroying it or fly over it in a menacing way. It almost seems that Ring's persepctive is to acknowledge the presence of the realm of death and that the role it plays in our lives is just so certain as the night that follows a beatiful sunset. Great Work!
Ive always loved your ability to tell story's through the art you analyses whether that be about the artists behind the work or the history it was made in. You content has opened me up to look deeper into art then I could before and which every video I gain new tools and prospects to use in my on analyses. Thank you
SO MANY ARTIST ! So little time ! A lot of people don't even think to visit their local art galleries just to see the tip of a proverbial iceberg made up with the vast talents of artist in our contemporary world, let alone a provincial artist from yesteryear in a far away country. Thank you for such a beautiful exposing and enlightening video. Your voice and knowledgeable background are perfect for such a great creative endeavor and i hope you will produce a lot more in the future. As an admirer and artist, Thank you 🙏
So good, once again. I've missed these. You have a real gift for bringing the art to Life.... or Death, as the case may be.❤
Thanks!
I really like the one with the crows, how they swoop in from the side of the canvas instead of being front and centre
This is a new artist for me. Interesting paintings & subjects. Thanks for the video.
I think in the West we have forgotten that pre-WW2 how fragile & evanescent life could be: it may be a cliche but death was part of life, disease or accident could strike out of the blue.
Not true. Death has brushed by many of us, to take instead those close to us. And we know they will return for us too one day.
Beautiful interpretation and explanation. Great work!
I love listening to you talk about art, I wasn't so hurt by it before I found your channel, but now I see art as something more than just something to look at, and I'm grateful to have found you.
The title of the painting 'Nu skrider dagen under, og natten vælder ud' is the two first lines of #781 in the Danish Psalmbook.
"... we see a smal town or property protected by massive walls..." It's a church. Danish medieval churches look like that.
I have never heard of this artist. He outs me in mind of Millet. There’s something wonderful about the knowledge that there will always be amazing artists to learn about. I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you!
Thanks 🙏

vent art moment
Never knew of this artist or his work. Grateful for your good work EVERY time.Eternities of LOVE
and good works is on the
other side; there is no fear
or hate there…🔘
Fantastic review as always. I can't help but notice how striking the trees against the sky are in "After Sunset Now the Day is Ending and the Night is Pouring Out." Though this is likely not what he was going for (since I don't think science was developed enough at the time), I see the last few synapses of dying neurons against the sky, fading as the trees get more sparse in the distance.
You're the best man, I've got to do my art project on remains/death and this is exactly what i need right now. Thank you
Edit: now that I've given Rembrandt's anatomy painting a closer look, I'm really inspired by the nerves, tendons and bone. I'm going to try and enhance that image so the entire canvas' frame is only flesh and bone. Thanks for the suggestion Canvas
Thank you!! If it helps further, there's also the whole history of "anatomy lesson" paintings which might also fit in with your topic of remains/death. They're really weird paintings and would make for a great project I believe.
@@TheCanvasArtHistory Great topic idea 👍
Thank you for all these videos. I really enjoy them and they have changed my world view.
The amount of quality in your videos is absolutely crazy. Keep it coming!
Genuinely the best UA-cam channel on the Internet.
We need more videos like this
Thank you enormously. It did work excellently.
Thanks a lot, as always.
Thank you for sharing this
As a dane, i love seeing people taking up danish artists. Thank you for the video😁.
Love your videos - I learn alot!!!
Everyone that came before us died. Either we are gonna be the next to cry of the next to be cried over.
These videos are so good!!!
Great video!
Very good.
What a tragic story- that winged skeleton is chillingly beautiful...!
The paintings are beautiful. I like the palette and this subtle memento mori depictions, and subtle representation of death and decay, but still cannot have complete and definitive conclusion of symbolism of some of his works. It gives a lot to think about.
lonely grievers have the motivation and responsibility to understand and act agressively against the systems causing their griefs
Love ur videos .
Thank you so much!
I am very intrigued by the tree in the first painting , it also looks dead .

0:23 Not gravestones at all. That is roadstones set up to mark that there is a step drop on that side of the road. Common in European road construction in from the 17th century to the early 20th century.
Sad😓
the way the light is shining on the dead people to me says that they are far from gone from his mind. the colors are warm, as if this is where his comfort is. and as you say if he is buried with them that is really curious, as I have not really seen that perspective a lot. (Hereditary scene where the body is lowered and the camera seems to go underground perhaps.) the sky seems like a sun rise hour and so it would suggest a rebirth also.
In my opinion the art of corpses under ground and there being a line of tombstones is… horrifying
It’s like they’re forgotten… truly dead with no proper care and burial
The people right above them unable to know what they are walking upon
The way we can see the dead in the art also makes me feel…. Like we’ll become one of them very very soon
🖤👏
It was after the death of my mother that I started painting ❤
Loss is inevitable for us all, it be the one common fact for all, rich and poor alike all life must pass so life anew can spring forth from that loss to fill the void we all feel whether a Queen or a peasant for we all be but a mortal human struggling within.
And?
The thing I hate most about death is I’ll never get to fully enjoy being just a skeleton… I wish we still had sentience for a few years after the flesh all washed away
😢
Finally, the old "The Canvas" is back! Still mentioning politics, but in a subtle manner. This is one of my favourite videos on this channel, so deep...
What do you think of Paul Seiwald?
heartbreaking. anyone see the sleeping face on the lower right?
Whats the song used please
All the pictures you show here seem to be based on photos. Do you know if that was his working method?
Given the fact that he worked in the late 1800s he might've used some early photos, but I'm sure that most of the locations were based on sketches that he made outside, and characters could've been people posing for him
The building is a church
SO GOOD! wait posted 14minutes ago? lmao okay
интересно
We uhh... We all see that stone has a human face.. right? 🤫
oh.. I suddently know how dutch people feel when someone makes a yt vid on Van Gogh and butchers the name xD
Who is The Canvas? For the blind, it is light. For the hungry, it is bread. For the sick, it is the cure. For the working man, the video to watch on company time. For the sleeping man, the video to watch before drifing off to dreams.
Delicious corpse
Your analysis skills are amazing. I love your videos and even though art isnt my proffesion nor even my hobby, your story telling makes it really interesting and worth watching.
Losing my mother and baby sister has me feeling like the woman on the bag.
