Please leave a comment and like the video - it helps get the videos out to a wider audience on UA-cam. Thanks for being such a wonderful group of art lovers! James
I highly suggest that you check out the Outdoor art which is Rock Garden at Chandigarh, Punjab, India made by Nek Chand (pronounced as Nache (as in headache). It is a famous local tourist spot.
Chand also got Padma Shri (fourth highest civilian award) for his work.
P.S Always love your work, I was hoping for the Vermeer's to show up.
Thank you

the world needs GAE Rembrandt!
Hi, James! I think I'm your self-designated "pin comment" reminder. 😉 Pin this comment so it doesn't get lost! (And I can't express how much I Iove you channel, really.)
I’m so thankful for being recommended to watch this channel. One of the original and unique channels I’ve seen. It would be great to see an explanation of The Last Supper by Da Vinci. Love and and respect from Uzbekistan.
Thanks for this. I've never really understood what makes one painting better than another so your videos have been enlightening. One work of art that has always drawn me though is Girl with a Pearl Earring. But I've never been able to put my finger on why. I'd love to see a video on that even though it seems you are doing a different Vermeer work as well.
Suggestion: Juan Luna's "Spoliarium"
It is the most treasured artwork of the Philippines and I would be delighted to hear your take on it Great Art Explained/James.
I have learned so much about art from this channel. It’s amazing what you do, that too for free. I’m glad people like you exist. Thank you for all that you do 🌻
Mr Payne I cannot, with these words, explain how much I love what you are doing and how much I respect your channel and your videos. I had no interest in art, let alone classical ones. And yet, all I did was dedicate 15 minutes to the Guernica video and that! has opened a new world to me. Now I find myself looking at anonymous pieces of art, and ask myself- "What did the artist went through when he picked up the brush? What does this deliberate saturation in this corner signify? Maybe, I can interpret this one in a different way?" And all because of your efforts. YOUR love for art and literature was heard by me loud and clear in those 15 mins, and I was entranced. I look forward to each and every video you will put out!
Thank you for such a lovely comment - so happy you enjoy them 🙏
Your post describes me 100% only my first video was the one on Edward Hopper…love this channel and Mr Payne’s work
I love Goya's black paintings. Looking forward to that.
I really love Alfons Mucha, mostly for his art nouveau work, but I'd love an in-depth look at his Slav Epic. However, I udnerstand that that might be a bit much for a fifteen minute time frame.
Anyway, I really love the work you do. Please keep it up. Making fine art accessible to a broader audience is a wonderful thing :)
I came here to plead for Alphonse Mucha
You must be one of my art soulmates, stranger
Yes Alphonse Mucha!
I've learned so much from these videos, learned to appreciate more about art and artists featured, and also paused the videos to just think about them and my own relationship with art. Thank you.
Hands down one of my favourite channels, probably the best thing that the pandemic year gave the world.
Best channel in the world! Would love something on Pollock or Kandinsky
This is truly my favourite channel, I've never been more invested in art than I am now, since watching your videos. I'd love to see a video on Giacometti!
Me too!
Kay Sage doesn’t have one particular work of art that is famous, but she herself was one of the few female surrealists and had a very interesting and well-documented life, yet remains virtually unknown outside of surrealism nerds. Her work is extremely interesting.
This is one of my favorite must have UA-cam channels no if and’s or but’s. You, my very kind sir, are filling in the gaps in my knowledge ( gaps which are vast, empty and desolate places ) with the most wonderful information about some of our entire cultures history in paintings. I cherish the knowledge I have of the wave 🌊 influencing Van Gogh’s work. That information blows my mind. I’m able to appreciate the subtle details in the cafe of broken dreams. Thank you sir for all that you do. Wonderful Sir. Just wonderful.
Thank you for the nice comment!
It’s very easy to wax lyrical when you have given us so much to be grateful for 🥰❤️😍
I could not have put it better myself. The same applies to me.
I've enjoyed many of your works that explain great art to a person like me who hasn't got much knowledge about art masterpieces. You've helped me a lot to understand great art pieces and get more inspired from them. Thank you!
I love watching your videos at night they’re beautifully told and relaxing but most of all I really learn a lot about the classics in a really great in depth way! So happy there’s still more to come!
This Channel is the reason why i got interested in art again
Seriously one of my favorite account!
Suggestions: Rene Magritte, he has so many works I’m curious about. Oh and I’m curious about Grand Wood - American Gothic. How did that get so famous? Also Paul Klee - Twittering Machine
I love Magritte. I’m sure he’ll do one!
Um, thx for this. Feeling I must return to your wonderful channel.
I think Zdzisław Beksiński is quite unknown although he made many dark surrealist paintings, it would be interesting to learn more about his work.
Btw your channel is one of my favourites! Every video is a treat and I can't wait for more, I remember watching when you first started and your videos rekindled my passion for art and I eventually changed my degree to something more creative, so thanks for the great content!
That’s awesome 👏
Zdzisław Beksiński PLEASE!!!
Can't wait for your next projects! Thanks to your channel I developed new ways of looking and appreciating art, the most awe inspiring piece being Vigeland's Park from Oslo. The statues in the park are lifelike representations of simple moments from our ephemeral life (with some weird ones). What astonished me the most are the small details that you can see only when you get closer, some being noticeable only to the touch. I could talk for hours about how beautiful that place is! If you need pictures, let me know!
One of my favourite youtube channels. Thank you for your wonderful work!
Just wanted to say thanks while I’m early for helping me discover and appreciate so many great artists. Can’t wait to see what you put out In the future :)
I would love to watch yous analysis on Tarsila do Amaral's "Abaporu"!
This channel was one of the best things I have discovered on UA-cam in the last two years
Thanks!
HOLY SHIT ARE YOU GOING TO COVER GOYA'S BLACK PAINTINGS??? I had the tremendous pleasure of visiting Prado back in 2017 and the Black Paintings have been living rent-free in my head ever since. I'm so happy you're doing Goya!!!
One of the best UA-cam channels out there!!! Love this channel!
Would love to see a video about blue poles, by Jackson Pollock :) thanks for the great content so far!
I just wanted to leave a comment saying that without a doubt this is one of my favorite channels ever. So happy to see this kind of videos and with such research behind them.
Thanks 🙏
My favorite channel on UA-cam, hands down
This channel changed my life. And I physically cannot wait for the Goya Black Paintings.
I absolutely love your channel. The process sounds fascinating. I’d love a piece on two wholly unrelated topics. “Course of Empire” by Cole, I feat it may be too long but it’s so dense and full of meaning. And “La Sagrada Familia” started by Antoni Gaudi. It has such a fascinating history and the principles behind it are so complex.
This is my favorite channel on UA-cam….I’ve seen most of your videos several times and each time, I learn something new. This is the content that we need more of on UA-cam.
Thank you for the production of this channel! I homeschool my children and this is the best way to expose them to some of the greatest works of art in this vast world.
I really appreciate your channel and I am so glad it has become more and more popular. Every video is like an interesting art lesson with clear explanation and great voice!
If you made a 20 minute version of this kind of video; that would be awesome! I love the format of this video.
I am SO excited for your upcoming projects! Especially Goya's paintings, which I can never get enough of people talking about on YT. If you can, here are some of my favorite artworks that I'd love to hear about: "The Pietà" and "The Creation Of Adam" by Michelangelo, "Mars Venus and Amor" by Titian, and "Fallen Angel" by Alexandre Cabanel (that last one particularly intrigued me because of its recent spike in popularity among modern fandoms, similar to Klimt's The Kiss)
On another note, thank you for making this channel. I've learned a great deal about art and art history through you, and you've given me a much deeper appreciation for paintings that I might've already seen a lot in pop culture before (Mona Lisa, Starry Night, The Kiss, Birth Of Venus, etc.) as well as exploring art I've never seen before. Keep going, my dude!
Thanks for great suggestions!
I would love to see an episode about the "Veiled Christ" a sculpture by Giuseppe Sanmartino which is at the Capella Sansevero in Naples, Italy.
I have had the privilege of seeing many masterpieces of art. In my opinion, the"Veiled Christ" ranks with the best.
Suggestion: Inocencio X by Diego Velázquez
Considered the best portrait ever painted, and although Velázquez was a monster for me this is his best work ever
An excellent suggestion!
…and I cannot have enough of it. This is my island of wisdom and peace in the middle of this noisy times. I would LOVE to see an episode about El GRECO, I think his art is fascinating.
I would love to see your comments on the works that Sargent created when he WASN'T just making portraits of rich people, those of his travels to Venice, the Middle East, etc. I'm proud to support you on Patreon, keep up the great work!
Great suggestion! And Thanks for your support 🙏
suggestion: Fernando amorsolo, his story, and how he captured life here in the Philippines by paintings, and his techniques
An ABSOLUTE joy to listen to you and watch your videos. Thank you James.
One of my favorite channels! I’d love to see an episode on Ilya Repin’s “Ivan the Terrible and His Son”
This channel is incredible. It is a huge reason for the way I view art today, and in that sense it's changed my life. Your videos have helped change me from someone who appreciated art, to someone who really thinks, engages, and feels works of art.
As for suggestions, anything by Kandinsky would be wonderful
the 15~ min videos are great but i like the longer ones more, like your video on the garden of earthly delights 🤍
Longer ones planned!
I don't usually comment on youtube videos but I have to say, this is easily the best YT channel I have found. The depth of research and the passion for art history come through in every single video -- they're all gems. Thank you so much for providing this high quality content to everyone for free!
As far as suggestions go, I would LOVE to see a video on Mondrian's Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow. I've always found the trajectory of his career fascinating and it would be awesome to see him get the Great Art Explained treatment.
Simply watching the Hieronymous Bosch video taugt me so much about the Dutch culture at the time. Truly eye opening.
This one of my favorite channels. I appreciate that you take so much time to produce your videos. I savor each one like a great glass of wine.
This is so amazing, seeing this channel grow and being apart of it for almost as long as it’s been around. Supporting it on Patreon, you have had an incredible impact on myself and especially my art. Watching and learning about these masters really inspired me to grow and expand in my artistic endeavors. I’ve since dabbled in styles I first learned about watching these videos, I began to do oil paintings. Over the past 2 years I’ve had the honor of being in a handful of art shows and salons, a few of which I’ve received accolades from those much older than me. In 2021 I graduated high school with an enhanced diploma in the fine arts, I’ve been very fortunate to find your channel and the videos you make. Thank you
Thanks so much for your continued patronage! Much appreciated 🙏
Would love to see you do a video on Renoir’s “Two Sisters on the Terrace.” Excellent video series!
you're an incredible channel, you've gotten me into art. I'd love to see something about Banksy, Hirst, Lowry, or Chris-Chan
Looking forward to more videos and hearing the great stories behind great art
Looking forward to the Bernini episode ! He's so unknown and underrated and yet he's one of the best sculptor ever
What an incredible channel. So happy to see the growth of subscribers. So well deserved. Keep up the great work, James!
This channel is indeed one of trhe best on UA-cam. I love that art is the main focus, and, as James describes, that there is no sensationalism. I am looking forward to the next episodes. I was in particular hoping for an episode about Vigée Le Brun, it is coming. I could not be more excited.
i would love to see a video about hiroshige. I think a good central artpiece would be the sudden shower over shin-ohashi bridge and atake.
on a side note: i really love your videos and binge watched every one of them the same day i discovered your channel. thanks for that, you reignited my interest in art history.
For great art cties explained, please do Alesund in Norway. After a fire, it was rebuilt in 1904 in the most modern style of the time - Arts and craft movement. The entire city is a scandanavian William Morris style canvas spread over 7 main islands cradled by the fjord and mountains and its really truly amazing.
Wow, that is a great suggestion. I will look into it. Thanks
@@GreatArtExplained Thank you for replying and enjoying my suggestion
Great to see you have so many in the queue on their way. Definitely looking forward to all of those.
My favorite artist that I'd like to see is Remedios Varo, her most famous painting is "La creación de las aves" and my favorite is "Papilla estelar"
I discovered your channel this month. It's amazing! I would love to see you talk about Beksinski. It's particular, but I really love his works of art :)
This channel deserves its own show on Netflix.
Every new video uploaded is quite a celebration for me. Thank you sir for your work
I am SO excited for Goya. Having never studied art in school there are only a few names I know in the art world. Goya is one of them. His depiction of saturn is my favorite all-time work of art and it just brings out raw emotion for me
I have had the privileged of travelling the world and seeing most of the works of art first hand.
But I didn't really see them until you profiled them and it was like having my own personal art historian.
Now I want to see them again and pay attention to details you brilliantly describe.
I think my favorite episode was David.
This is my favorite channel! I always look forward to your uploads because they're so well researched. The future projects all look fantastic, I can't wait to see the Wiley and Bernini videos.
I happen to be reading a historical novel about Guernica, the event, and came upon this incredible site. I have always been interested in art and to be able to read about Guernica, the art work and the event in pictures and sound just blew me away. I'll be reading more and telling others, absolutely. Thank you for this opportunity!
I’m not really into art, but I find your channel fascinating. You do a great job explains art to people with zero art knowledge like me.
I’d love to see you cover ‘A Sunday on La Grande’ or ‘The Conjurer’ cups & balls painting.
I still can't believe that we get to enjoy these contents for free because videos are very well-researched and well-made. Looking forward for the future stuff!
My favourite art channel! So we’ll researched and presented.
This channel is absolutely mental. I know nothing about art yet I am here drinking every word you say on each video. Thanks for making art so accessible and interesting! Please do a video on Toulouse Lautrec painting La goulue from the Moulin rouge. They had such amazing lives.
I am SO excited about the Goya video! His black paintings are endlessly fascinating to me. Thank you for making these fantastic videos!
I can't wait to watch your next videos and projects! Thank you so much for your videos, I learn so much every time and my family too!
Yus! De Goya here we come!!! I'm so pumped.
Best channel across UA-cam!
I've enjoyed this channel very much, and Great Art Cities Explained is a wonderful addition. I am excited about what is coming in the future.
This is easily my most favorite UA-cam channel. Excellent work.
I'm very glad I found this channel - thank you for posting all of them.
Can't wait to see the coming videos!
Surely a fan. Has watched all of your videos and learned a ton. Will continue to support this channel. 🥰
I'd love to see a Titian. 😍
this is one of the best channel on this website. thank you so much
Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for your hard work and research! For your due diligence, your insights and how clear and concise these videos are. For those of us that may not have the access to an education in Art Appreciation or the time to read such works as Janson's "History of Art" in just a few sittings. They are as informative, as they are, in equal measure, entertaining.
Thank you for making these videos, because of you now I can understand and appreciate in better way .
I’m glad that found this channel . I’m even more excited for your upcoming videos 💜
Thrilled to see more, absolutely one of the best channels on the platform!
Love your channel! My suggestion is that I’d love if you covered any of the works by Evelyn de Morgan.
I think she is so interesting because she was around during the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood but because she was a woman she wasn’t seen as an official member. The Pre-Raphaelites usually depicted women from folklore or history as ‘pathetic’ damsels or tragic victims, whereas Evelyn’s response was to paint powerful and headstrong women such as The Sorceress in her painting “The Love Potion”, who although would have been regarded as a social outcast, she had independently mastered a craft and was earning her own money from customers, who sought after her help (such as the romantic couple in the distance seen through her window). In a way, you could argue the piece is a metaphorical self portrait, as one of the books in the background of the sorceress’ study is a book on alchemy; Evelyn actually studied alchemical colour symbology to add further substance and meaning to her work as she took an interest in spirituality...everything in her work had a reason and purpose behind it.
I actually wrote part of my dissertation on her when I studied fine art at university and I think it’s such a shame that she doesn’t get the same amount of attention from the art world as her fellow pre-raphaelites, even though she was so ahead of her time and put so much thought into her work. Her work really is gorgeous so I’d recommend anyone reading this comment to check her out, I’ve actually seen a few of her pieces in person and the colours and overall feeling you get from them are absolutely divine.
What a great suggestion! Thank you 🙏
Yay!!
I can't wait! Announcement looks so exciting.
Suggestion: Work of Marina Abramovic
I frequently return to your videos on the garden of earthly delights, so relaxing and informative, a great way to learn about some of my favorite art
The narrator has a really good voice for narration.
Makes such a difference in how everything comes across.
Top! Art is a way to live!
Just found this channel today, content is amazing!I will explore all the videos! Pls do continue making such videos
The Ghent Altarpiece. Epic painting with epic history.
That work is epic!
You should definitely explain one of René Magritte’s works.
i recently discovered this channel and it has reignited my love for art once again, i'm getting to each video slowly but surely; very happy to see an episode on Bernini is coming, would love to see one on his Ratto di Proserpina sculpture, it really is an impressive work alongside Apollo and Daphne. Thank you so much for these videos, your hard work is appreciated!!
I really like this great channel ! Thank you for the work behind your videos!
See you soon ! Big like! Greetings from AJP Relaxing Jazz Piano
I love this channel so much. Thank you so much for making these. You are rad as Baghdad.
I would absolutely love to see a video on any of the works of Gottfreid Helnwein, his paintings are phenomenal and I would love a deeper dive into some of their interpretations.
Thanks for making these videos, they have really helped me to enjoy art in a new way. Keep up the great work!
I love, love, love your chanel. Thank you!
Your channel is a “must follow” for art lovers. It’s a source of deep and masterful insight about masterpieces and their creators-all in about 15minutes or so-providing fresh understanding and appreciation of these timeless works of art.
May I suggest you consider covering the great Christian cathedrals and basilicas of Europe-with their fascinating history, architecture and laden with sculptures, paintings and other iconography-they’re really akin to art museums with a religious/spiritual theme. Thank you so much for all you do in this channel.
Discovering the channel was like discovering a real gem 💎♥️
Thank you so much for your absolutely wonderfull videos. Love it!
I love this channel, best of luck in your future projects
I am looking forward to Bernini
