  • Comedian, actor, writer, television presenter and former member of Monty Python, Michael Palin joins the National Gallery's Head of Curatorial, Caroline Campbell, to share his top ten paintings in the National Gallery collection in a special in conversation event.
    The discussion features beautifully composed Renaissance works by artists like Duccio, an extravagant scene by Bronzino (who painted the foot used by Monty Python's Terry Gilliam in his animations), as well as some of the most most popular paintings in the collection, from Holbein's 'The Ambassadors' to J.M.W. Turner, alongside some lesser-known gems.

    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..........

    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.

    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,

    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.

    @ronjohnson4566 11 місяців тому

    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).
