Вставка

- Prof. Hillenbrand (University of St Andrews) looks at how Persian painters tackled depicting architecture while also showing the process of construction, and how they operated within what to a Western eye might seem like constricting conventions.
Very useful, tank u Mr. Hillenbrand
Sanctimonious Brit dissing ancient art for what his people used to do too. And a heck of a lot of cultures when depicting “them and us” and their people in power. Just depicting average people at work in scenes and to scale has been generally rare in regions where there was near constant battling over resources. Got to remember who usually ordered the art or could pay for it.
I am not going to watch the rest of this. He, to me, is acting like an art critic evaluating current artist’s works. Besides these being old, they are examples of what have survived the environment, wars, rebellions, and time. The artists likely were not even born when the events happened and the art would be in the style of their time.
Please bear in mind that his attitude, up until 14:49 when I stopped watching, is his.
the presenter's asides are so sad... overall, interesting, but the remarks on a communist paradise are not what I came here for
also, the description for the video is completely opposite to what the Prof. Hillenbrand says. "...how [Persian painters] operated within what to a Western eye might seem like constricting conventions." - the lecturer, in multiple times throughout the video, states how he is trying not to evaluate things with a 'european' eye. Can he never make a statement outside his 'Western eye'?
What makes this, not 'Western', but eminently British is the darn asides... those pervasive little judgements and personal remarks...
