Such a perfectly put together video, as always! Just ordered the catalogue and will be thrilled to read it before coming to see the exhibition. I can't imagine a more exciting career than to discover and research portraits!
It's fabulous to see you on the screen again. I so wish I could be in the UK to see what looks like a magnificent and interesting exhibition. All the best from Australia.
Happy to see that you're back at it at your London gallery once more. One thing that's always struck me about 16th C portraiture is how very earnest the depictions seem. Good luck with your exhibition.
The attention to detail and the vibrancy and crispness in the colors is fascinating. That the paintings can be so old and looks so good is amazing. A great video. And, cool scarf.
Portraits of this period for me has the subjects wanting you to look at them as they directly look back at you, they are to engage with the viewer and give a real sense of who they are or how they want to be seen. I hope I will have the chance to see these wonderful pictures in person. PS the offer of seeing the Kennel Club collection is there, when things all settle down.
Fascinating. I wonder what techniques were used to paint those portraits? Tempera? Oil? On wood...canvas? Wood mostly, I guess. If oil paints were used, they were probably different from modern ones, and it would be interested to know what were they. I am always fascinated how skilful portrets were made in tempera and this ones reminded me of them. Thank you for this interesting video. 🤗
I have missed your videos Philip. Many thanks for this exhibition. Amazing portraits. Once again, your professionalism and love of research and history come through.
Delighted to discover this new video of yours, Philip Mould, and happy to share again with Music and Art Odyssey Facebook group, with appreciation for your educational and entertaining look at this fascinating period in art. Cheers from Canada!!!
I really enjoy all your videos Philip. My academic backgroung is in Sino-Japanese studies. It has come as a complete revelation that British art can be so beautiful and intellectually satisfying. And to be able to explore and learn more about the artists and their art one does not have to struggle for years learning hiragana, katakana and thousands of Chinese characters.
These artists were the most 'privileged' amongst the king's 'subjects'---if only that 'situation' was the same today! It was only the 'wealthy' and the aristocrats who 'commissioned' their portraits (usually very large as well) and the poor?---where are they in this exhibition? The 'lower classes' never appeared 'on the scene' until the mid-19th or 19th century---and even then they were always portrayed along with the master's horse, or, as servants. The whole scene is very 'elitist' and rather 'snobbish'; it 'reeks' of class-distinction and how powerful (and morally indifferent to the 'lower classes') they were ! Having said that one last observation: the 'the eyes are the mirror of the soul' and this can be no better demonstrated by these portraits. If one obliterates the eyes, then the whole portrait 'hangs' on how good is that of the artist's brushwork!
I love Philips professionalism and energy SOOO MUUUCH! But the Elizabeth portrait at the 3 minuet 30 second point is not authentic, the iconography is false. Further, the Elizabeth portrait at the 4 minuet and 5 seconds a very poor copy of Armada Portrait, with again the painter in no manner understanding the iconography in the original.
Thank you so much for sharing your passion! Beautiful exhibition! I wish I could be there! Your videos let us all, art lovers from the whole world, enjoy this journey! Greetings from Lima, Peru.
That is just wonderful! That you for putting this event rogether. Even with easing of restrictions, Philip and team continue to delight and keep my sanity in challenging times!
This is one of my favorite UA-cam channels. I get so much out of you videos and leave feeling much more educated about European art. You are in inspiration.
@Philip Mould & Co Great video, though I watched it first today on Facebook. Any clue as to when you may return to some sort of series, be it DIY or on the international stage, Philip?
Your enthusiasm is contagious! It helps us look at these portraits with a bigger/better visions. THANKS!
We must have more, it's a joy listening to you.

The personalty of these long gone souls come across with such clarity and directness.. I can see why you love these Philip..
You are so eloquent Philip. I always love listening to you. And those paintings are just amazing!

Hilliard miniatures, little jewels.
It's a period of history I am particularly interested in and I would like to view your exhibition please. 😁

I love the saying on the left side of the portrait of George Gower: "Non spirat qui non aspirat" [He who doesn't aspire doesn't breathe]. 💕
I loved seeing all the past faces, it was wonderful! Thank you so much.
