See U soon

the using of paint to represent itself on the palette is really amusing. great antecedent to lamps in video games using real electricity

This piece is something else! 😅 The figure on the left is definitely Shiele himself - the resemblance is uncanny. But that other figure... Let's just say I found that zoom in around 1:45 a bit unnerving, lol. I wonder why the.. skeletal appearance. Maybe it's a reference to himself and he's resurrecting? Perhaps that's why the figures appear so linked ane there's a Byzantine-style ground harkening to religious paintings... Resurrected but still reclusive. That part of him hasn't changed. Who knows? It's fun to speculate. 🙃

I love going out to the Jetty.

Maravilla ❤

Thank you for the commentary

This piece is fascinating - unlike anything I've seen on this channel before. I love the bright, swirling colors and partial transparency in the feet. The map itself is already impressive, but that body seems to be from another dimension resting gingerly atop it. So cool to see. That note about refusing to be known resonated with me as someone who doesn't feel inclined to share every moment of my life on social media. There is power in privacy.

i am in owe, what a house!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT in too many ways to even try to attempt…..the Artist has invited us in with the enigma of worlds,once again too many count, and said “here is a world view now make of it what You will”…..She had me at the splashing of colors and I could not look away…..

Which references do you uses for make this video? I needed for my research of medieval tympanum

Was this painting really destroyed a year ago? That would be very unfortunate... The question Dr. Zucker posed at the end was interesting. I've enjoyed seeing how artists have either embraced or rebelled against the artistic traditions of of their time (or bygone eras). Seeing the examples this piece was compared to was inspirational in a way - such a departure from religious paintings before it. I like the petit mort theory presented by another comment. Definitely tracks with what's going on here. "Life and death" is a topic worth reflecting on as I slip away for the evening. It sounds cryptic, but is strangely more peaceful than the thoughts that've been bombarding me all day.

When I was in school our teachers had book of Kells coloring book and we would color them in for prizes. Good times

I am Navin Kumar. Same as the donor.

This really communicates how it isn't some kind of magic ritual, but a full-of-meaning object of focus on the human experience of the transcendent.

Ein Juwel 😮❤❤❤

Thank you for another excellent video :)

How do you decide what to make a video on? The sheer range from architecture to paintings to objects like this is stunning. However you pick, you pick good lol

Always a good day when yall post. Thank you for all that you do.

I might have missed it in the video but what is the painting on? It looks almost like a textile

The way the eastern religions portray divine beings is always such a stark contrast to that of the West i feel like

I always learn so much from these videos. I had never heard about the temple until now. Thank you 😊

So intricate and immensely beautiful object😮❤! Thank you

My goodness, I don't mind Dürer showing off at all! Wood cut or engraving, he was incredibly precise and talented. I hope he saw himself in the solitary devotion he depicted with St. Jerome. I can't believe the number of fine lines he put into that piece, but it was well worth the effort. ❤

Smarthistory is such a great channel!

I thought mahakala was prominent in Hinduism. How does it connect with Buddhism? Just curious and bit confused

Awesome, no vocal fry, no upspeak! Enthusiastic, clear descriptions!

It’s a stunning work of art, and thanks to you I have a clearer understanding of what I’m looking at. Love to see a video exploring the isometric drawing and what symbolism is in there.

Wonderful video

Mesmerizing and super well explained. Thank you for your superb content 👏

these videos are always a welcome sight, It's Always something I've never heard of, but presented with a passion that's so engaging

To Emperor Justinian's immediate right is General Belisarius. He was responsible (along with General Narses) for retaking all of Italy for the Byzantines. Military experts rank him besides Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, and Douglas MacArthur as one of the greatest military commanders in world history.

Thank you, as always - interesting, informative - and intriguing ~

THE Very Best of “armchair traveler” for this 73 Year Old Happy Ager…..a jumping off point for more discovery by the best EDUCATORS EVER…..

Dr. Zucker: "What we're seeing is a man who is.." Me: CUTE! 😍 lol. I just dig the long curls, but anyway. I like the suggestive aspect of Vermeer's paintings. The more I heard of the analysis, the less attractive this guy became and the more I could relate to the young woman's predicament. Hookup culture has made dating a myth - so many are just racing to that finish line and it's hard to know who's worth pursuing / has respectable intentions. It was so satisfying the way the askew shapes became a metaphor for the bond between the people here. I didn't expect that, but it fit beautifully together. There's so much to see when you take the time to look. I don't know that I would've taken quite so much away on my own, but I'm certainly better at describing / analyzing art now than I was a year ago.

😇😇😇😇

These paintings are so eerie to me. I am a black American with very light skin. I feel like these paintings often infer that African ancestry is “bad” and that society should strive to be more “white” or European. It brings a feeling of discomfort for being both black and having lighter skin. Idk how to explain it. I wish there was more information out there surrounding these peculiar paintings.

Thank you very much!

Es como el que visitamos en NY

SmaryHistory is the absolute best art history educational content available online. If you guys read this, please know that you have the respect of so many of us who rely on you for supplemental educational content for our students. One recommendation ... A big one ... More Non-Westetn art please! And certainly more on the "minor arts" (or whatever term we are using these days for the decorative arts and craft.)

I really needed to see why I keep scrolling past Jenga on this channel, lol. That's the title for this one in my heart - Pre-Separated Jenga, or something like that. I'm glad the reflective brass and plexi-glass were mentioned because I couldn't tell that at all. I thought it was just wood. I've really got to get lost in a museum soon.. There's so much to see! The "900 versions of the same thing at the grocery store" quip was funny. That drives me nuts! Especially the cosmetics aisles. 🥴 This was a cute and intriguing way to start off the (Smarthistory) week. ❤

Beautiful ❤

Is this based on true story?

There were no earlier timber structures on skellig. there is no wood out there! The earliest structures are 7th century which was the likely the date of the foundation of the monastery

I wish I can have one book

Initial reaction: Okay, I wasn't ready for the scale of this piece.. I was so impressed by the beautiful details and then saw fingers open it up! It's that small?! Who could make something so elaborate so small?! Apparently, this is a large piece. 😅 The intro made quite the impression, though! St. James is admirable.. Faith does protect and defend against much. The Adam and Eve scene on the first panel was amusing. Adam doesn't look like someone was just pulled from his side. I'm about to spend my day having someone puled from my side if his pose is to be believed. The central panel was fascinating. I can't get over the depictions of gluttony.. All of it is so strange, though. I'd love to stand before it and appreciate more details. What a follow-up to church. I have a lot to think about. 😅

❤

Amazing description of this painting. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never seen it before..I’m inspired to learn more about the painter ❤

Needless to say, always the finest lessons
