Mr. Riopelle gives such a clear, informative presentation and it is much appreciated. The National Gallery (London) lectures are really quite exceptional. You do a wonderful job of presenting the artists and their work within a historical context. Thank you.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I love any help you can give me
@Gael Alessandro i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Wonderful. Answered questions about Delacroix I wondered about for years. It's too bad the Impressionists get so much attention today, and he is frequently overlooked. Especially since he had such an impact on other artists.
Delacroix is such a fascinating genius. He could have been a great writer or musician. He could have been a great statesman, too. I recommend his journal for anyone who wants a look into this man's mind.
Very interesting indeed. Thanks. So glad you have made this available on You Tube. Great for those of us who live far from London! Hope you'll do the same for the other lectures in the series. I am coming to see the exhibition in April and think this lecture will definitely enhance my visit. Thanks again.
+Rosa Vella Thank you Rosa, we're so glad to hear you enjoyed watching the lecture, and look forward to welcoming you to the Gallery when you visit the exhibition this month.
The talk might be informative but it's much more enjoyable when the camera is on the slides rather than just the speaker, esp when he's referring to the slide. I nearly gave up then it finally started showing the slides.... then back to the speaker again, oh. More recent videos from NG are handled much better.
Recalling mixing my own paints to make the various shades of brown to copy the painting of Paganini, a famous violinist. My art teacher enjoyed my effort enough to have me make an entire cabinet in the center of the classroom a copy of Eugene Delacroix's Paganini. School was sanctuary, not church like so many very bitter people would like to believe. Memories, ghosts of one's own mind contents.
Mother threw away much of my original art. Luckily, I carry some pieces with me. Also an original artist, poet (published nationally in 6th grade Beta Club of N.M.M.S.) Memories of being that kid in science class in sixth or seventh grade who led my group into creating a little tinfoil boat that lasted the longest of the other group's tinfoil boats. I learned about water buoyancy and tension then used those concepts to win. Education isn't dead, -it simply needs TLC. Most think of education as either a child's or teacher's arena only. That's a crying shame, men came from mothers who taught them and community teachers who helped mold his character. Fathers are half of the equation, not all of it with females as the scrum to feast upon. Anger, men don't realize just how incredibly angry females are capable of being. Last days and years salted with bloody tears. Not a way to share energy. Bad juju
I'd have a very different take on The Death of Sardanapalus. It's not a scene of 'chaos'. It's a depiction of sexual violence... the sensational portrayal of naked women...once again...being brutally slaughtered. It's lousy in every way..
Love this fellows lectures. So very knowledgeable. Thank you for posting these

Thanx for the upload!
Delacroix is a flame that will never vanish! Romanticism was the birth of modern and contemporary art.

This lecture is really hard to follow … chronologically … and also for sense.
I think this man never gasped for air once

the thing is, he knew drawing wasn't about Style--- yet he drew like a Master and knew it.

Your interpretation is probably correct, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a brilliant painting, depicting a "lousy" subject.
