That elongated skull painted on the floor is possibly the sickest (coolest) thing I’ve ever seen in painting. Just to work out how you’d have to paint the skull in order for it to be viewed at such an extreme angle is a feat itself, let alone the rest of the piece. I’m a painter myself and strive for the day I can make a single masterpiece culminating all of my studies and practice into one ominous, provoking piece. This is one of my favorite paintings.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. In wikipedia it suggests that perhaps the painting was designed to be hung on a staircase, and the skull would then be seen by people walking up or down. It ( the skull) is such an overwhelming part of the painting, it must have been requested by the person that commissioned it. Thanks for the wonderful video, and the presenter was very easy to listen to.

Let's get to the skull. The skull in the picture is distorted and shows a discrepancy. If we want to remove the distortion in the image, we need to push the skull together vertically. The moment the shape of the skull returns to normal and the two figures follow the correction, the lovers get so close that they embrace each other. We see no secrets here... just love.

Although the picture shows the southern European, Italian tradition of same-sex male friendship, the symbolism of the picture follows the German tradition of engagement or marriage portraits. With all the symbolism, the couple shows in an unusual way that they are not only sexually connected, "as was customary in a male friendship at court," but that they are also connected emotionally. The picture is a declaration of love and symbolizes that this is above a reneissance homoerotic friendship. All this is a clear and not a secret symbolism of this time period.
What Id like to know is, if the French ambassador was against King Henry breaking away from the Catholic Church, then why did he commission a painting where the crucifix is symbolically hidden away and the hymn book which has a prayer written by Martin Luther front and centre?

I can't express in words how much I love this painting.

The origin of the universal S
You can see the unique ‘s’ on the table
An interesting point. What do you think this symbol means? Thanks for watching!
I absolutely have no idea
It doesn’t stop here, there’s more to it, some ancient archaeologists might even find that some cavemen drew it in a cave

Beautifully explained, thank you!
It also has the universal S

Splendid pictures and very interesting explanations !
The perspective is unique and dominating.....as is the color.
Thank you for taking the time to engage with our films!
The perspective on death. It is hidden in plain sight.

That skull sure does look elongated... Lol... Doesn't exactly look human with a cranium that large.
