This looks like Whoopi Goldberg when she look better 20 years ago

Caravaggio was a Great Master of light and shadow ..

Wow!

When watching, you have to remember that a camera, even a good one, struggles to render colours properly. Natural ultramarine is even richer and more vibrant in person.

Excellent analysis.

Eloquent, informative and persuasive. Thank you.

Just saw some of his work in BYU Museum of Art.

Very informative and interesting 😊

I like this history

This is one of my favourite paintings in the gallery (along with The Nativity). Very beautiful and very interesting. Thank you :)

Thank you for such a great talk on the Baptism of Christ by Pietro Della Francesca. It's good to be helped to understand such lovely works of art. One question: are the Three Kings being depicted in the lower right hand corner of the picture?

less that 1% of your collection being painted by women is honestly appalling

Gotta love Rubins big healthy ladies! I absolutely adore Rubins artwork.

Excellent! Thank you.

That was wonderful! The National Gallery is my favorite museum and congrats on 200 years!🎉. I just have one observation about the painting. I found it unusual for the man who is in the process of taking off his garment to be wearing tight underwear. I realize the painting is not meant to be true to life but I just never would have thought that a seemingly tight fitting underwear would even be possible in the 1400’s. Could it be that the artist decided to paint them on for modesty’s sake? I guess I assumed most men back then just didn’t wear undergarments. Interesting! 😊

Excellent! Thank you. The 2024 book "The Last Caravaggio" by Dr. Cooper is a must buy, must read for me. I invite everyone who is curious, who is willing to entertain outlandish ideas, to reread "The Winter's Tale" (WT) with Marlovian Theory and Caravaggio in mind. Be honest. Is "The Raising of Lazarus" and "The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula" hinted at within WT? Is Antigonus dying alone on a beach after leaving a ship and then being pursued reminiscent of Caravaggio's death? WT's date of composition and the date of Caravaggio's death are very near in time. Is the model in the Ursula painting the same Sicilian model in the Lazarus painting? Maybe mother and daughter, like Hermione and Perdita? So, Caravaggio is painting a Sicilian Ursula, a Sicilian princess, just like Perdita is a Sicilian princess? Why is WT overloaded with subtle "bear" references? If Hermione is the daughter of a Russian emperor, then she is a female bear (a bear being symbolic of Russia even in the 1600s). Well, a female bear is an "ursa" in Latin. What does that make Perdita, the daughter of a female bear? Yes, of course, Perdita is a little female bear, an "ursula." Why does Hermione, the ursa, use an archery reference at her trial in front of King Leontes? Leontes has an ursa in the "blank and level" of his sights to shoot her dead with an arrow, similar to the king in the Ursula painting? I could go on and on, but YT is not the best forum. History is full of surprises, and there is quite a bit of mystery surrounding the life and supposed death of Christopher Marlowe. Enjoy.

Superb commentary. Riveting and very informative. Very much enjoyed it.

What version of photoshop did he use for this?

I’ve not come across many ‘nude’ Christ figures in religious art, did attitudes change after this period or was this unusual at the time?

Nice conversation and nice concept, i hope you will do more! Thank you for sharing!

The irony that she’s holding forget me nots, and yet, has been forgotten….

minecraft brought me here 🤣

no joke really, just normal Memento Mori aspect

Not doubting Thomas, but Thomas the believer. ☦️

While ever have their favorites… Caravaggio is my favorite Favorite ❤❤… I always thought the arrow went through the young lady and also hitting the guy behind her.. he kinda has the gray tone as well but I love his work.. and what I love most is his realism realistic paintings I love his color palettes and his courage to paint what he painting during his time because he had some very controversial paintings and so many people did not like him… I know his background and I wished he’d had a better past but you know… I will choose Caravaggio before anyone in fact I don’t and won’t choose Van Gogh sorry 😂 Caravaggio is my guy my favorite artist of all time first. I draw realistically because of him… he inspired me with his paintings. I studied Baroque in 2015 🙏🏽 ❤🎨🧑🏽‍🎨

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

Nice conversation, thank you for sharing!

🖤🖤

EXCELLENT presentation…”I so agree we must ALL see ourselves in the world whether in the classroom to the museum….from birthing to the aging of we ELDERS on the journey of us a people’s/ citizens of the world……

` As always very interesting topics. Thanks allot.

To me, blue and gold speaks of earthly/worldly riches. Blue white and gold feels like it speaks of heavenly/spiritual riches.

Congrats on 200 years! It's been many years since I donated, and I'm glad to see you have managed without me. :) I need to add that I know there are several videos that the NG has put up about this particular painting, discussing it in detail (I think after some restoration? I can't be bothered to look, and I'm old, so you can't make me), so I know I've had the opportunity to study this painting at some length - though this is the thing about "studying" isn't it? One really needs to study and study more and more; I think it should be hanging in my living room, that would help - yet, this is the first time that I've recognized, i.e., consciously become cognizant of the fact, that the guy in the background who is preparing for his baptism is wearing BVDs! I'm amazed. You know, all the paintings you see from that time they all wear those tourniquets. I mean, not just Jesus, but, for instance, the two thieves or whatever they were who were crucified along with Jesus, they wore that lap-dance type underwear, too, but here this guy is wearing briefs much like those cheap ones I get at Target. I think that's a miracle.

How wonderful to feature a talented artist, Sharon Walters, who certainly is deserving. Enjoyed her chat.

first!

Awesome ideas and the accent magnificent go ahead Salam from Saudi Arabia

I never realised the shield has the actual head on it!

Thank you for this video ❤

Passing along such detailed and complicated a process. As the Met rep said, not always done, but when necessary certainly preserves and improves a National treasure!

I congratulate the Gallery on such an important anniversary. Having just spent a few hours in the Renaissance exhibit, in the basement, on my recent visit to UK, I want to confirm how awe inspiring it all is to a Canadian from our backwoods. Thank you.

Interesting interpretations good to hear different points of view but I disagree. It looks to me that Caravaggio is standing so close behind St Ursula with his arm around her that he has been shot by the arrow through her body and that is why he doesn’t look at her as he is in pain from the arrow. There is a precedent here as he painted his own severed head as Goliath on a platter in an earlier painting showing that he identified with the characters that he painted. I would say that he must have identified in some way with Ursula and therefore is not just a voyeur on her situation as person who feels unempowered by circumstances.

Just heard Arun play in Bristol. He's an incredible clarinetist- beautiful performance.

LOVE and APPRECIATE these discussions as a “Conversation Starter” for small group discussions….the best of social media for all to share out with the world…..

Could be a collection of country scenes he saw together in one painting.

Great discussion on a wonderful modern painting.

Great discussion. It's wild how modern this painting seems.

I enjoyed this conversation between 3 thoughtful women. Thank you!

The King Von of high art! I love Caravaggio’s bad boy self❣️ But Artemisia Gentileschi is my favorite baddie

Caravaggio is in virtually the exact same position and same expression as the Jesus and Judas picture. Almost like a cartoon - Caravaggio was 'ere. Big ego like Rembrandt. Interesting discussion, different slant on the painting.
