Had the privilege to share an office with Emma Capron for a couple of months when I was an intern at the Frick Collection in New York... she’s the nicest, sweetest, most brilliant woman. Emma, je suis ravi de voir les fruits de tes efforts et de ton intelligence. Bravo. ✨
It's so astonishing and impressive that Ms. Capron can convey so much information in such a short period, and her lively enthusiasm is certainly contagious.
I love Ms. Capron’s eloquence in her presentations. They are a great way to give occasional art patrons more insight. Hope to see more of these from The National Gallery.
I've always been drawn to the dark and Gothic in art but Bosch always disturbed me. learning about the artist is interesting and thank you so much for these videos
I love the touch on the idea of the universal identification we might have with being trapped..... the vulnerability that Christ shows, but also his serenity, makes the viewer empathise but also feel a comfort and strength, I think. It's really a beautiful angle to view the work from.
I'm so glad that she managed to spell "Museo del Prado" as good as we spanishs do. Not a common thing seeing foreigners (specially native anglospeakers) talking spanish accurately. Good video, love Bosco❤
Brilliant! I'm excited to watch this, as that is probably my favourite painting in the entire National Gallery, by one of my favourite artists (my all time favourite is either Bosch or Bruegel). Thanks, more like this please!
If you view the piece from a distance and connect the eye lines of the tormentors top left to bottom right, and top right to bottom left, they form a rough cross shape across the figure of Christ. This sort of diagonal cross shape is ubiquitous in art depicting the final moments before crucifixion, so I have to wonder if it was a purposeful part of the composition. As the shape is formed by their eye lines, perhaps it implies something to the effect of them looking forward to Christ's torment and death upon the cross.
Thank you. I am learning so much between chores in South Florida. "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". They rejoiced that while "the wages of sin is death, the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord". ( Romans chapter 3 and 10 by St. Paul. How we need Him ( and He is risen, there were 500 + contemporary witnesses and immediate written reports) today, as well !
It's a sad day when censorship for political correctness finds it way into Human Sciences. Especially when attempting to disclose knowledge to the general public. I'm no specialist but if I am not very much mistaken the two lower figures represent the unbelievers, here as a Turk and a Jew. In saying that I mean no disrespect to either religion, nationality or descent . This was the idiom of the day at that time.If I am wrong about this, please, accept my apologies.
❤️ Emma, Thank you, I love your insight into this artist. For me ; The man top right looks sympathetic, inspite of his dog collar. The man bottom right is clutching His, robes.Pertinence The man bottom left is covering the under belly area, with one hand, and in the other holds a staff. The meaning of which is not certain. The man top left, whom has already been shot at; in a bid by other men too stop his purpose, looks only to happy to apply a much exaggerated painful crown. All proving through the eyes of artists even back then, and true to the word, that God doesn’t want anyone too suffer. There is only one, horrible one ,and he is already been shot through The rest are sympathetic too and feel sorry for the subject. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Some beliefs,may differ((no one can positively contradict.))) All the best , Keep up the good work. To all at our the national gallery on behalf of young artists and farmers, thank you,for this very good ten minutes. Henrycastle1
Ha - well, I guess if I was being facetious, I could argue that in a sense Christ was betrayed by Jesus, if we're going with the theological position that Christ, the Holy Spirit and God are all aspects of one being. Given that God let Jesus get nailed to a cross, that's a betrayal of sorts? But yeah, tenuous argument on my part. ;)
Just came across this. First thing I noticed was the Christ/Jesus rather than Judas thing. I was so surprised it didn't come up right away as the #1 thing in the comments!

It's so astonishing and impressive that Ms. Capron can convey so much information in such a short period, and her lively enthusiasm is certainly contagious.
Much more impressive is Boshes work painted so long ago and still standing .I wonder how much is original (not touched by others hands).
I love these talks, they are very informative and help us discover works from the collection from home. Keep them coming :)
Because you cannot think with your own brain.
Enjoy them telling you how to think.
Informative as always. The obvious enthusiasm of the presenter for the art work was a quite enjoyable aspect of the presentation
I love Ms. Capron’s eloquence in her presentations. They are a great way to give occasional art patrons more insight. Hope to see more of these from The National Gallery.
Eloquent, informative and persuasive. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching :)

That must be a favourite Bosch painting. So effective and the image of Christ felt so real and possible! Thank you.
I'm so glad that she managed to spell "Museo del Prado" as good as we spanishs do.

Good video, love Bosco❤
I was very fortunate to visit the large exhibition that was held in Den Bosch in the autumn of 1967. Un unforgettable experience.
Fascinating. Thank you for the informative and clear video.
Brilliant! I'm excited to watch this, as that is probably my favourite painting in the entire National Gallery, by one of my favourite artists (my all time favourite is either Bosch or Bruegel). Thanks, more like this please!
I loved hearing about this work! Great talk - awesome knowledge you've shared!
the halo of thorns - wisdom from the continuous investigation of the nature of suffering
Lovely knowledgeable presenter. These videos are such a treat. Thank you National Gallery. ❤️
I just shared this with my students... nice work, Emma
I love these videos. The oak leaf is the insignia of a colonel in many militaries....
A very informative presentation. Thank you.
Thank you very much Emma. Many points of interest in a mere ten minutes.
Really enjoyed that. I've been to Madrid and Museo Nacional del Prado. The Garden of Earthly Delights is breathtaking.
Thanks very much Emma, I really enjoyed this and I always learn quite a lot from these wonderful productions.♥️
Oh how marvellous, such knowledge, insight and eloquence. From an oldie, this convinces me that humanity has a future.
A very informative and enjoyable talk. Thank you.
Wonderful content! More like this, please!
Thank you for this excellent presentation
Thank you Emma. I have watched this a few times because of your great explanation & presentation. Can you do more?
I’m a fan of Bosch. Very interesting study indeed!
Ive been fascinated by his work for years. 🥰
Wonderful, informative lecture on one of my favorite painters. Thank you!
Excellent content charmingly presented - great job, thanks very much!
Thank you, very interesting and informative. Happy Easter.
This painting is among my top 10.
brilliant work!
The intimacy of that space, the way that in it's accented depth it is pressed and about to unfold from the picture surface.
Very interesting, engaging, and thought provoking. 👍👍👍👍. Excellent. Thank you!
Fantastic video, so informative! Thank you!!
These are great, and really enjoyed the presenter. Bravo 👏
Super! Thank you.

your shirt print looks nice.
So nice.. liked your video.Thank you 👏👏👏

Well done!...Amazing
excellent. Going forward can TNG buy a 4K camera and upload these videos in 4K, as these will look spectacular on UHD TVs. Thanks
"Prognate" is a new word for me.... what's it mean? Edit: looked it up. Means he had an underbite/overbite.
very interesting, thank you.
Great speaker.
That was great thank you
Fascinating.
Keep in mind this was painted before only a few years after Columbus discovered the Americas. a man ahead of his time
What is the painting of Christ opposite the Christ mocked painting?
Hi there, that is Dirk Bouts's 'Christ Crowned with Thorns': www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/dirk-bouts-christ-crowned-with-thorns
@@nationalgallery Thank you
Evil has a human face. Well said thank you
What’s the painting to Emma’s right? Not familiar with it
❤️ Emma,
Thank you, I love your insight into this artist.
For me ; The man top right looks sympathetic, inspite of his dog collar.
The man bottom right is clutching His, robes.Pertinence

Such a great and poignant painting!
thank you. 😏
This was great, but it would have been a bit better without the presenter moving so much
Thanks Emma. Just a note: Christ was betrayed by Judas...Not by Jesus.
It is her pronunciation of the word Judas and the unfortunate Google translator.
Ha - well, I guess if I was being facetious, I could argue that in a sense Christ was betrayed by Jesus, if we're going with the theological position that Christ, the Holy Spirit and God are all aspects of one being. Given that God let Jesus get nailed to a cross, that's a betrayal of sorts? But yeah, tenuous argument on my part. ;)
She did say Judas.
Just came across this. First thing I noticed was the Christ/Jesus rather than Judas thing. I was so surprised it didn't come up right away as the #1 thing in the comments!
Shes lovely
note the pale white christ
Excellent analysis. Thank you.
