Excellent! So, both the Romantic movement and the Realism movement can both be seen as a reaction to the Industrial revolution. The one saw the industrial age and the machine age as an undoing of a simpler, more bucolic existence and the other saw the industrial age in terms of the exploitation of the common people.

whitoid abstractions 😂😂

What about Sebekneferu? Didn't she rule Egypt for a time?

Thank you for these lectures!

Good job, well done. Good bless you

"Like 666"😈😈😈

Spinning gold from excrement - these people are having themselves on - what do they do when Alice is not around - they live normal lives

ya and SKIP the long winded personal intro - just get to the point :)

really interesting. however, I have to share a comment about your statement at around 43:00-ish - that contemporary artists get to choose whatever they want to do and are no longer influenced or controlled or limited by funders and patrons. Ha! Since when??? Artists still need to Survive - and that takes money. If they have family money - then there is their source; Daddy is their 'Patron'' - or if they are funded by the NEA or Guggenheim or what have you, then those funding sources are their 'patrons'. Please note that just about every artists you mentioned so far was a White Male - so do the math; it's well established that white male artists have historically been much more supported than women or people of color. While we're starting to see some changes, thank goodness, the world of contemporary, and certainly Modern art, as you define it, is still a predominantly white male world. Let's hope for more change. But while women and people of color are getting more funding from foundations, etc, until the art world BUYS their art, it is only marginally sustainable. So buy and experience art by people other than white males - and maybe some day more artists will be able to make 'whatever they want.' That said, thank you for this presentation.

as an amateur painter who is a fan of impressionism I enjoy learning the history, thanks

Thank you for these videos, you've truly enriched my understanding of art history. Your generosity in putting these videos up for anyone to see is amazing. Thank you.

In the ad before this video, Jennifer Coolidge was talking to an agent on the phone named Maya…UA-cam knows

Ho im sorry i droped my paint tin .

These lessons are amazing. Thank you so much

Super helpful and well presented - thank you! I'm curious, do you have the link to that paper about the theory behind Van Gogh and the ear? I agree that to focus on the mental unwellness is to miss the point, but I'm doing research for my PhD and it's relevant... thanks!

This is fantastic❤

*_31:15_**_ This is why I can't stand disgusting westerners. Lydians are not Greek. Liers to the core. I knew you were going to lie so I skipped to the part when you speak of the Medo-Persian Empire. That is when the west really goes insane and starts losing it and begin to lie like there is no tomorrow. You are coping at the fact that everything the west invented had already been invented 2500 years ago. Worship our God and seethe. You lost long before you were born. You are filth beneath my fingernails._*

In regards to the mutilation of the heads: is it possible that those doing the mutilation were not the same people who did the carving? The artisan class doing the carving and the nobility, or even members of the public, doing the mutilating? Either to disgrace fallen dynasties or as a sort of catharsis/social cohesion type thing?

Love ya, but HARD disagree about the ab ex artists not making images, and reducing it to an “experience”. These are absolutely still images and that a big part of the point.

Photorealists just used a grid,.... but the image they used to put the grid on was a photograph.

I think that painting of the early 1400s in the north was superior to Italian painting of the time.

Ulm is not a hall-type church - you are looking there only at the side-aisles.

At Ulm only the three lower levels of the tower are medieval. The spire that you are commenting there is 19th century work. You could have shown the tower of Freiburg-in-Brisgau instead which is entirely medieval and even more beautiful.

Sorry but the rose of the Sainte Chapelle is not rayonnant, it is flamboyant and of a much later period than the chapel itself: it is from around 1485, not from the 1240s. You have on it the monogram of Charles VIII. Funny you don't recognize its flames, whereas you go on later explaining the flamboyant and present this rose as the pike of the rayonnant style... Also it was so predictable that you'll make this mistake, having seen several of your videos now on gothic. Still nice that you make these videos, you could avoid however these very amateur mistakes if you read more into the monuments you are presenting.

Thanks!

Paris didn't create the rayonnant style in the 1250's. Saint-Denis' reconstruction in the 1230's was already in that style -the nave, the transept, the upper parts of the choir. It is rather Saint-Denis which is considered as the origin of the rayonnant style at least in all studies I am aware of. Where can one read that it comes from Paris? Must be some really old interesting book that I don't possess.

Toledo was retaken in 1085, not in the 13th century.... much Islamic influence is detectable already on Romanesque architecture, already through the conquest of Sicily by the Normans.

One might wonder if Sienna cathedral is gothic at all: compound piers are distinctive first of the Romanesque style.

"Very unique and very different from anything that the French would have done". Hmmm. In fact you do also have hall churches in France: check out the cathedral of Poitiers. You find it even in Romanesque churches of the Poitou, hall churches in a sense, are firstly a French phenomenon.

A cathedral is not a monastery. Wells is not a monastery. Cathedrals did have cloisters for the canons, even in France at least from the time of Charlemagne - they have mostly been destroyed later, have survived perhaps better in England but that doesn't make them monasteries. A monastery is for monks not for canons. I mean priest canons not canons to fire with.

"Late Gothic is going to be infinitely more decorative" - and also often infinitely less.

You say the people designing cathedrals couldn't read - have you seen the carnet of Villard de Honnecourt? It is full of drawings, especially of Reims cathedral's not yet completed plans, but there is also quite a lot of texts to it... Do you think that the architects of the cathedrals were illiterate?

In fact at Chartres the Virgin is ALSO wearing a crown. Not much difference about that in Reims. About a half of the Romanesque madonnas already wear crowns.

Wow, at a moment you are showing the choir of Saint-Remi of Reims and think you are presenting Reims cathedral!!!! People, people.... I am sure you know much better other areas of art history.

I don't see how one could confuse Reims and Amiens even by looking at details.

Oh my God, are you assuming Gothic architecture and Goth subculture have anything in common?!

Those are not the original colours projected on the facade of Amiens, they are random colours. It was not made by scientists.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good instructive video and I am happy that this subject gets to the USA. There are just a few mistakes which could be avoided if when you don't know avoid assuming things without verifying them.

No, not the kings and rulers of France in the gallery, pleeease: the kings of the Ancient Testament. France's kings were represented in their great halls, not on the cathedrals.

If you divide a square into two, its diagonal will also be divided into two. What is so Celestial Jerusalem about that? By the way, there is a stained-glass window from the 13th c. at Sens representing the Celestial Jerusalem. There it is round.

oops, there is no crossing tower at Amiens...

What do you mean by "largest" cathedral? Do you only consider Gothic cathedrals? Is it the height, the length, the cross-section? Amiens is the highest gothic cathedral for its vaults that was nearly completed. Beauvais and Cologne are higher but only their choir were completed in the Middle Ages. All are smaller than Hagia Sophia which is not Gothic, and dates to the 6th century but is also a cathedral. No Gothic cathedral was ever totally completed as far as I know, not those bigger ones anyway.

How would they know in the Middle Ages how an ancient Hebrew priest is supposed to look like?

Apostles are not always represented by 12 in the Middle Ages, their number often just fits the space - people knowing anyway that they are 12, so there is not always need to emphasize it.

Where did you see Capetian monarchs on jamb figures?

"They didn't have marble in the Middle Ages", where did you get that from? Chartres didn't have marble, it wasn't a ubiquituous material, but there was marble in the medieval churches, especially used for sculptures and even sometimes in architecture: Purbeck marble in particular in English cathedrals. Are you assuming these things, or have you actually seen them written down somewhere?

It is not the ribs that make it sexpartite or quadripartite, it is the areas between the ribs.

The north tower was not finished 20 years later the than the south, it was finished 300 years later. Do you see the difference in the style?

Hey, Chartres is not a village, man, it never was since Antiquity...

Greetings from Armenia! I want you to know that what you've done is needed an valued all over the world. Thank you
