The reconstruction of the polyptych's known elements is fascinating. The shadows cast by a hypothetical figure to the left of the lower angel is a fine observation.
Aww, look at dat FAT. lol. 🥰 The grapes are bittersweet, but he's especially precious in this one. "...and anything more than that, we give up and simply call it a polyptic." 🤣 What an interesting detail the strigil motif was - I wouldn't have appreciated the meaning of that otherwise.
Does anyone else see a fireplace? It angels in the background read flames with their upturned wings. It's the hearth, the most mortal comfort, the mortality of christ, however; Mary sits upon the heart (to represent her absolute mortality), while Christ is elevated on Mary's knee looking immortal almost. Just a thought.
That baby is just as creepy looking to me as the pre renaissance style Jesus babies. He looks like a tiny version of Trump. That just makes him even scarier.
going back through all your videos. I just love you guys so....
The notes about shadows at the end of the video are particularly educational. Thanks again for your tremendous content!
THANK YOU!
2:26 comparisons and evolution, excellent graphics!
I personally love seeing the Cimabue, Giotto, and Masaccio all together. Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you. I am reliving my art historical past life at college and this is really helpful!
Thank you very much for this analysis ❤
