    Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much again (as usual) there is so much to learn. I love the idea that the museums and curators are updating the descriptive language and yet shares all of the beauty of the paintings.

    The Nicolas de Largillière Painting shown in this video wasn’t intended to be a “double portrait “. Any honest and educated person knows it. So, please , do a serious work of art historian and respect context of the age.

    Love the comment about it being very American with the numerous mentions of slavery. Which was brought to this world by the British, Spanish, etc. Yes, we continued the terrible practice but it began with the colonial powers.

      I think it began thousands of years ago, mainly stopped by the Brits and Americans and still goes on in Africa.

    Amsterdam was such an architecturally rich city..did not make it to the Rijks Museum....Eindhoven..very family friendly....I see why the ebbs and flows of history have been documented in the Arts for us to see centuries later...

    How can you claim that America produced Sargent??? He was born in Florence, Italy, where he spent his boyhood; he studied in Paris, France, and lived all his life in England!!! Also, van Dyck's idea of representing himself as a courtier, rather than as a painter, was not in opposition to Rubens; on the contrary, he got it from Rubens (see Rubens's Self Portrait with Isabella Brant).
    The supposed van Dyck painting of the old man, around 14:00 in the video, is obviously the work of a forger. The brushwork on the body is very far from van Dyck's style, and the head is just the head of the St Jerome, flipped around-a common technique among forgers. I really wish that art historians (who don't know how to paint) would stop "defining" the painters' minds for the public. It would be different if they would state simply that such-and-such "makes me wonder if …."

      So important to get sources correct. Thank you for pointing out the fallacies....

    Why are you telling us how we feel? It's just annoying. Just talk about the paintings.

    Nothing troubling! Just history. Stop this wokeness.

      History isn't a dead thing. It shapes the present. There is nothing wrong with feeling ambivalence or discomfort towards figures from the past who you admire. I agree that some people go too far with the self-flagellation and virtue-signalling, but at the same time these are things we should acknowledge and talk about. I do object to the idea of taking revenge against the past though (tearing down statues and throwing them into the docks for example). Erasing the stuff we disagree with is just as bad as glorifying past atrocities.
