      I love it. I loved how 1665 became The Girl with the Pearl Earring too. I hope they do more of these. Portraits, famous paintings, they can even do famous photographs from more modern eras. It’s so cool to get the breakdown and then the lightning bolt realisation of how it applies to an image you’ve seen all your life.

    Sometimes I narrate in my head when I get dressed. Like "tinted lip balm was a popular choice for everyday wear, and could be found in a variety of colors" or "in colder seasons, pantyhose were worn. They could be made from nylon or from thick wool, depending on the weather"

      As an Asian of Southeast Asia person, I enjoy very much watching a channel that caters to Western clothing culture of all periods and I take no offense if they choose not to dive into clothing cultures outside Europe.
      Instead of asking Westerners to represent/showcase clothing style of non-European, how about someone from that culture itself have the decency to tell their story of their clothing culture to the world with its own UA-cam platform?

    I was lucky to have seen the Mona Lisa at the Louvre while I was in Paris over 12 years ago. It's actually not a very big portrait at all and you have to get in line to see it. Even then, they won't let you get really close to it because it's been stolen from the Louvre before which is why the portrait is famous to begin with.
    I would love to see a dramatization inspired by Degas's ballet dancers and maybe even feature the sculpture he made of one of them.

    A curiosity: judging from the Gioconda copy in Madrid (a painting that was discovered, it was made at the same time as the original Gioconda by one of Leonardo's disciples, perhaps as a way of improving their technique while painting at the same time as the master), the original sleeves were probably red. Now we see them as a burnt gold because of the yellowish varnish.
