I've hugely enjoyed each and every minute of this Video, thank you so much for sharing it with all of us !!!
What an immense pleasure to have listened to both Michael Palin and Caroline Campbell talking about paintings I love so dearly and which bring back unforgettable memories of my visits to the National Gallery !
Both each enthusiastic and highly intelligent and knowledgeable in their own way , a thoroughly enjoyable hour thank you !
Lovely. Could listen to these two discuss art for hours.
In the one with children gathered by the fire, hands facing towards it, the first child on the right, it's hands are adult size. They are adult hands. I do love anything Michael Palin does. I love listening to his view on life, paintings. Thank you Michael and National Gallery.
Had a nice long chat with him around the time this video was shot. Absolute gentleman! If only I'd known he was into art and had done documentaries on artists -- they have never been shown here in Sweden as far as I know. Goes to show just how broad this guy's background is.
Palin's documentary about Artemesia Gentilleschi on BBC4 a few years ago was wonderful.
It was on again a few days ago., and Is presently on BBC iPlayer
As mentioned in previous comments why oh why were we unable to see painting all the tine ?
You need to have the camera on the painting much more, would be more enjoyable.
absolutely!
One of my favourite human beings talking to a friendly intelligent woman about a subject dear to me :) The Fighting Temeraire already seemed special to me as a kid (decades ago), and over time I've been coming to love just as much the Nativity at Night, so charming, touching, lovely indeed.
I had been told my whole life that Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest painters who ever lived. And I just didn't see it. I could name 20 painters I thought more deserving of the title.
And then the Cleveland Museum of Art had a showing of his sculptures.
I was floored. I sat in that room with his works and couldn't fathom that a human hand had created them.
Then I took another look at his paintings..........
That's interesting. I always walk past the abstract paintings for the most part but I would have liked to see the Picasso sculptures you saw.
These two were very comfortable conversing, and the interaction was like sitting with a cup of tea. The accent only serves to make it proper and polite. 😊
Very interesting love, enthusiasm and appreciation of beautiful works of art.
Most of the time these two are droning on about these pictures we can't even see them. Why couldn't they show us the pictures?
She is always joyful, and replete with bountiful art information , and Irish I believe. The camera should have been on the art more.
I think you´ll find with name like Campbell she has to be Scottish.
whoops i stand corrected, she was born in Belfast.
Maybe a Scott by ethnicity many were enticed to Ireland, politics and ultimately wealth of others at the migratory core.
Really? I get the impression she is trying to be sexy and failing in cringe worthy way.
@@robcoghan5204 Yes. There's a lot of money in peat.
Michael Palin wonderfully interviewed by Caroline Campbell.
I found this to be a light-hearted, sometimes amusing chat about art between two likeable and engaging people. Not massively informative but enjoyable all the same. Some people seem to have been expecting high production values. I don't think this was really the point. If one wants to study the paintings in more detail, there are plenty of resources on the net to do so.
Oh, he is one of my favourite 6 of the Monty Pythons. ;-) I´m kidding. I can´t decide, who is the best Pyhton. But i thank the national gallery to invite Michael Palin. It´s an interesting video.
He is a treasure
"An Allegory with Venus and Cupid’ by Bronzino"
Beautiful face girl envy in the green, her thumbs are on the inside as well.
The interviewer shows a remarkable indifference to the original purpose of “The Annunciation”. The artist honored the glory of God through artistic expression. This painting did not “become art“ once it was removed from the church. I have noticed that some British have a casual disrespect for Catholicism, as evidenced here,
Deservedly so
Bigotry is not valid criticism.
Casual puts it mildly, although I tht Palin seemed to respond more to the spirituality of the paintings than Campbell did.
Bronzino, 'An Allegory'. They don't mention the girl with a serpents' tail also has a left hand where her right should be and a right hand where her left should be. Other experts have claimed that this implies that she is 'Deceit'.
She has a very nice voice
Great interview, clever and beautiful host, and always nice to meet Michael Pallin, but....where is Van Eyck´s "Arnolfini and Wife"? Best regards from Mexico City.
Thanks :)
she is one of those people who says 'No" at the beginning of many sentences then agrees
1: Its sunny out
2: No, it is quite lovely
It would help if we looked more at the art, and less on the commentators...
So as you are watching it, open another tab and search the painting easy peasy :)
those legs is art
Oh I don’t know
Palin is kind of a zaddy
Very attractive and youthful 74 years old..
yes she is...
@@outsidethepyramid wasted comment on another day that would have hit the jackpot
The second picture - she’s wearing pearls, a symbol of purity, so it might be a marriage portrait. The design - lilies, another symbol of purity at the time. Florence, ‘ The City of Lilies’, where the artist, from a wealthy family, came from. If you look at a drawing of him, he has a very similar nose to that of the young woman in the painting.
The lady out talk the guest,
Palin can only manage to yes.
Caroline you are such an elegance.
I became frustrated that the pictures they were talking about got so little screen time. I am a big fan of Michael Palin, and of the old masters, but I had to bail out.
there are links above in the description simply click and enjoy
The "rotten apple" the serpent-girl holds in one hand in the Bronzino is a honeycomb.
thank you for commenting on the situation of women in art
When you talking about a painting
Please show the picture much longer
I’ts not entirely impossible for me to imagine how it would look like if Eric Idle did that interview dressed out like her and with her charismatic personality. 😂
as an artist i appreciate the paintings michael picked. and in my opinion many known and celebrated artists of our time pale in comparison. Starting with Rothko and the entire color field world we see so much of these days. Paintings are to look at. Artists are storytellers who sit on the sidelines and add color to the boring fotbol match. One guy is saying, #5 kicked the ball to #6 who kicked it to #7. The color guy is rambling along about all three players and their personal lives. Turner applied paint in a way that can't be appreciated by a slide on the wall. You need to see the size, scope, and expression of paint as paint and paint as object in Turner's work. That is what a museum is really for. To show what is real (as object, subject, understanding, and showing mastery of a people at a certain time who were real and intelligent).
in the intro Palin says they are not necessarily his favorite paintings, but one he couldn't avoid talking about--so why did you title this video as his favorites?
Great subtitles! ;)
The child kissing her; the space between the child's shoulders and the child's head would have to be extremely long, freakishly long.
Rembrandt is my fave artist, yet how may they be compared? Thanks for the great art and small amount of discussion. Are there any online galleries, recommended?
I love her
They had fun , it shows , grande ! Bravo! ...more pics of the art , in detail , false color ? Risk showing me the data. C ya
Talking about the paintings, it would have been better to leave the camera on the paintings
National Gallery, could you update your info here to include a link to each of the works included in this talk? I'd love to examine each of them in greater detail.

Is it just me, or is she intensely fan-girling?
Actually its called butt kissing
No she’s fan-girling. She doesn’t kiss butt at any point. She’s obviously nervous.
Naa your right, she does indeed look like she's going to slip off that chair at any minute, got to say! she's kinda turning Me on. . . middle age is weird maan.
Very disappointing..we see Michael and the interviewer looking up at the paintings and all we see is the two speakers! Why not just show the art for longer
Wish I could study the paintng more...but great vid
of course he mentions The Fighting Temeraire hahahaha
She is a very charming and attractive woman
Oh my....it wasnt art until the 18th century....!!!.... thus dismembering is a legitimate act?......
Clickbait title, he's on a chair the entire time
Wonderful conversation, but I could have heard just as well looking at the art. It got annoying in the end. Is this about the idolatry of these two presenters. Perhaps they are the art.🤣😂🤣
The world's top 5 painters from each century IMO- 1. Caravaggio 2. Rembrandt 3. David 4. Van Gogh 5. Klimt. That opinion is not carved in stone. We exclude Michelangelo and Leonardo, they also sculpted!
I LOVE how they barely show the paintings. ??? Jesus, what a waste of film.
wow, this lady is fine
Leave the camera on the painting....badly directed.
Not when you are sucking up to a big patron
I agree Sally. It was frustrating not to see the paintings while they were talking about them.
@@DeerHunter308 HA... good one...
" yeah yeah .. oh yes, yes yeahh oh yeah ... yeah hmm yeah yeah" kinda too bold
Palin is yet again completely engaging but I don't think she is answering many of his questions.
he didn't miss to be cynical about the Mother of God☹️
shes wearing the same dress as the botticelli video! less art history, more dress shopping
The 11th work of art is that beautiful and sexy woman.
Michael Palin on his favourite paintings. Knows nothing about paintings. Anyone could do that.
If its so easy why are you not doing it.
Just nice to listen to two intelligent people talking about interesting stuff. Nothing more.
Sorry to say, Palin sounds like an ignoramous.....!!!
He is a film maker, different vision
That woman's hatred for men is at times almost palpable.
That dress is distracting and wipes her out.
so it's like interviewing a random dude in the street : " oh i love art, it's beautiful and sometimes funny" .. useless, still, Palin seems like a really cool chap and bringing culture to the people is always good i guess
i guess
