This is the story of one of the most famous works in modern art. Some call it revolutionary, others say it is nonsense, but whatever your opinion of it, the story behind it may surprise you.
It takes us back to the early 20th century and the beginning of the avant-garde movements in the United States, where art was to become democratic. But of course some people challenged these ideas, and at the same time raised questions about the very nature of art.

the most beautiful piece of art ever made.
Absolutely incredible statue, miracle we still have it today. Great video explaining what everything meant, it’s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Oh my god!!! You are amazing and wonderful !!! Thank you thank you thank you ❤️😘🥰 Please come back to doing more such videos 🙏
I've been assembling a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of this for the past two weeks. Apart from it being a nerve-wracking experience, I found respect for the small details all around the work. Almost every branch is painted with a different style, the flowers have different linings (some even have a kind of "psychedelic" aura around them), every stage of early flowering is included etc. I'm sad to hear he died only months after painting this: taints the theme of new beginnings a bit.
Wow....wonderful explanation
The fact that this is just one of Vermeer's study adds that cool aspect to Vermeer as a person, very discreet and lets his works speak for itself
When I was in Rome I threw a coin in the fountain never thinking I'd ever be back. Two years later I did come back, so maybe the coin toss superstition really is true. It was for me. Great video and you explained everything very well.
Byzantine iconography ALWAYS depict Archangels Michael and Gabriel, not Uriel or whatever
Where did you get information about the poppy in the mirror you mentioned? 10:33
Peter Trippi said it was a rose. But I agree with you. It looks like a poppy! That is why I would like to know where you got the idea!
I saw the Pieta at The Worlds Fair as a child. It blew me away. I still remember it well. ❤
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
I am an art teacher. And omg I love the rugged rocks the most too. It actually enhances the fountain
I find the first version remarkable because of its connection with Dresden. So much lost art due to inhumanity.
Thank you. Your videos are excellent!
Brillant
Thank you.

Hello. Could you please comment on the candle, in the dove panel? What is it reflecting in? Thank you.
Madame X is so pretty. Her features are so elegant. And she does not have huge full lips. What a welcome change!!!!!!
I really like your videos. They are so educative, and yet you really enrich them with your thoughts and visions. I truly enjoyed how you gave a different aspects and points of view about the modern art.
Glad you like them!
The reflected light on the sea above her head is my favourite part of the painting.

Don't block d painting move it
Thank you so much for the video! I wouldn't be able to pick out a lot of these visual details and this helps to point me in the right direction to focus my attention ♥
You're very welcome!
Awesome 👍😎
Thank you.🎉
The Milkmaid's Tale ❤
😂
Beautiful piece , divinely inspired.
Great analysis of the paintings. It’s a pity that Caravaggio didn’t paint the central scene of the Virgin as well.
I think this program was excellent. I prefer the first version of St. Matthew and the Angel and I think The Calling is Caravaggio’s greatest work.
And to think that he was barely 30 when he did this.
Michelangelo is my favorite artist from this era!!!!❤👨🎨
your mom is here. shes little, when shes older I'll try to remind her to love always.
I think it would be wonderful if you did a long video, looking at each of the 20 or so paintings, as close as possible to the order in which they were painted. Nobody else has done this. Thank you.
The person in white, is blind.
They are 2 different paintings.
You are so brilliant, and this is an absolutely superb video.
You don't pretend to be pregnant because you want to be pregnant. That would be tempting Providence. She's pregnant.
I love this painting. It's one of my favourites. Will definitely go to the Louvre in the next couple of years. Ideally I want to to do a big art tour of Europe , like the rich people did in olden times😄
rich colonizers you mean
HAHAHA-HUH HUH HUH!
What about the tag on the original.?
(I think they're quinces.)
Exquisite.... .absolutely breathtaking! Anyone who does not believe "the" Pieta was God - imspired, has never had a hammer and chisel in his hand, set before a block of marble! Can you imagine? "Look, Mom, what I made out of that block of matble in our backyard!" I love that you mentioned the stations......because, the Pieta , truly, does not make sense if you take it out of context. Why is Mary not hysterical, begging God to save her Son? She knows he will!!!!!!!
I am tempted to say it's the greatest sculpture ever created.
Hope you post the video of linear perspective next, great video. Love this and reminds me of what I studied in art classes some years ago. Very informative!
Watch this video while sitting in front of it. Thank you 🙏🏼⛲️
Never say never
Saw it for the first time in Vienna some weeks ago. Probably my favorite Vermeer. A real masterpiece.
