Happy Birthday and many thanks for the joy, wonder, balance, and profound understanding of history you share with myself and the rest of your “students” on this channel. In my case you literally bring all of this to me, as poor health leaves me home bound. The gift of Holbein you brought/bring to my house is a pearl without price. I believe him to be one of the greatest portraitists in the history of Western European art. I truly cannot pick a single favorite. Wishing you many happy returns, lots of new discoveries, and much joy!
🖌 I particularly like the painting with Elizabeth I with the Roman/Greek goddesses. It's a wonderful example of how art can blend reality and mythology into something new for a "modern" eye. Also, happy birthday! :)
I always look forward to your presentations because I know you will be giving an unique and interesting look at a subject that has been well researched. You alway bring a new perspective and insight to the society that people lived and worked in a moment in history. This helps to provide an understanding of what and why events happened. Thank you for your dedication and deep dives into the past.❤😊❤
Happy Birthday! I recognize the Master John painting at the beginning of the video from a wonderful coloring book i had as a child. It was women's clothing through history, i think.
I'm a fashion student and had to write a huge paper about a "style tribe" from anywhere and anytime. I chose Tudor England. I referenced many Hans Eworth works when pointing out textiles like velvet and satin- because his amazing details clearly show those textiles, the nap, it's truly amazing. And without his works, my project would've lost a good 20% of it's visual references...
The fine skill Hans showed as a painter has me wondering how brilliant his work as a jeweler must have been. The pieces you presented to us, Dr. Kat, imply that Hans was transfixed by the beauty he saw in the details. Honestly, that is what makes his work beautiful to me!!
Dr Kat, one of the best things about your videos is that it has me pausing several times to hit google to look up a word or phrase. However, I was unable to find what a 'Without' means e.g. Bridge Without / Farrington Without @ 8:39. I've never heard that term before and I watch a lot of British UTube including all the Time Team I can find. Seems like it should have a wider meaning than just 'in the warde of'. Also, I might mention that every time you say Henry VIII (and clearly too I might add) closed captioning shows it as Henry VII. IMHO, I think Hans distanced himself @20:57 in an attempt to distance himself from his more dangerous patrons. If so, he certainly was aware of what was happening and was smart to do so. Maybe it came from being an 'alien' he could better see what was happening. I always thought some of the high-born English showed a remarkable sense of stupidity and or arrogance by thinking themselves above being caught. Possibly as a commoner he had a better sense of self preservation. I loved all of the paintings. Have always marveled at the intricate detailing of fabric and jewels in the paintings of this period.
I always love hearing about art and artists of the Tudor era! Its one of my fave portrait eras. I do love his portraits of Mary Tudor. I'm a sucker for detailed patterns and fabrics. :D
I've been a jeweler for over fifty years now, and have adored these paintings for decades. The detail on the embroidery and the jewelry, is an inspiration, and the craftsmanship can clearly be seen in these great paintings. I wish to see them in real live at some point. I'm sure I'm missing a lot. Back when the old master I learned from was teaching me, he would look at the photos of these paintings I brought to the studio, and, comment that jeweler was the highest of the arts at that time, and all the painters aspired to be, or, were jewelers This video tells me he knew what he was talking about. After all, he was actually born in Germany 1880. At fifteen he began training under the Old Master stytem. He had to learn to render jewelry very well before he ever got to touch a piece of gold.
I now need to research these brothers, the jeweler and the gem cutter as well as the painter. I'm intrigued to see if my jewelry textbooks and history books mention them.
I find the one portrait commissioned by Mary Neville to have such a startling late-19th-early-20th century look about it, that if I didn't know better, I'd assume an early Gauguin or Manet. The clothing and rendering of the hands definitely gives it away for what it is, but it's rather a surprise nevertheless. Thanks for another interesting historical close-up!
Thank you for this. I've tended to look at a portrait out of interest in the sitter more than in the artist. He was amazing -such attention to the details of clothing and jewellery - yet the faces of the people are wonderfully alive.💛
I love your channel and narration, I listen to you on TH-cam and look forward to more videos and information about personages who, though long gone, have left an incredible imprint on English history devotees like me. tHANK YOU!
I'm amazed by the detail in his paintings. I wonder what techniques he used to achieve it. His art pre-photography seems to provide a photographic image of his subjects that makes me feel that I am seeing them as they were.
Enjoyed this presentation -- like all of yours -- very much. Have seen many of Hans Eworth's artworks, but did not know very much about this particular artist. Thank you for providing more details on his life and work. Especially like the painting of Queen Elizabeth and the 3 classical goddesses.
Thanks for highlighting Hans Eworth here, another great Tudor/Elizabethan artist! His works were featured as part of the Master of the Countess of Warwick exhibit at Compton Verney a few months ago, as he could have possibly been one of his assistants at the time!
🎨🖌💍💰 RE: the TH-cam unsubscribing thing... this has been a busy-busy-busy-busy week. I arrived home VERY late last night, checked the TH-cam offerings and became quite annoyed that I was not seeing any announcement of your Friday video. I thought, "What?! This actually happened?!?!" 😤😡 I was even going to go and re-subscribe, muttering profanities all the way. Then I realized that it was still Thursday. 🙄 🤣🤣 At any rate, I find it truly amazing that you were actually able to track as much as you did on this topic. With all the different spellings of this artist's name, it will not surprise me when/if new information is unearthed in some obscure document(s) with yet one or two or three more spellings. THANK YOU so much for another fascinating video, Dr. Kat! 💖 And happy birthday!!! 🎂🥳🎉
Happy birthday! Also this is an amazing topic to explore. I was just wondering how historical artist actually developed the portraits. I wanted to recreate the method on modern models just for fun. I always enjoy the history of a technique as much as the techniques themselves.
Thank you. It's wonderful to see his works! I particularly enjoyed the one of Elizabeth I with the 3 Goddesses. I am curious as to where the palace or manor house is/are that formed the backgrounds. The Royal Collection Trust theorizes Windsor for the background castle.🎨
🎨🖌 I particularly like how he painted clothes and jewellery in so much detail. Thanks for always creating such wonderful and informative videos Dr Kat!
I've often admired the works you've featured, but until this video I knew nothing of the artist. I can now search out more of his work. Thanks, yet again, Dr Kat!
It's weird to think about people like Hans Eworth and Holbein. They were just working artists, and their profession seems like it wasn't all that glamorous. But they created images that resonate through history. I wonder what they would have thought if they realized how long their work would be admired, or how widely it would one day be seen. 🖌💎👑
I like that your presentations focus on the character of the individuals and therefore investigates their motivations as well as historical facts. Interesting that Hans’ paintings can vary considerably in detail and quality - the one of Darnley and his brother is almost like a caricature unlike the skill and detail shown in other pieces. I like the idea of him painting a diverse portfolio to advertise his wares And the one of Suleiman is obviously very much based on his official portraits 😊
Another great episode. Am I the only fan that wants Dr Kat to pan her bookshelves for us?
I always try and check out the bookshelves
thirded! bookshelf tour would be awesome!
Lol - I can’t tell you how often I watch Dr Kat while turning m my head and phone to read the spines sideways. Almost every Friday!
I always check out the bookshelves! I am fascinated by what other people read. And what music they like!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Thank you 🤩
Happy Birthday 🎉
Happy birthday!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
late happy birthday Dr Kat.
🎨 This was wonderful! We usually only learn about Hans Holbein, when it comes to Tudor artists. Would love more videos on artists!
Happy Birthday and many thanks for the joy, wonder, balance, and profound understanding of history you share with myself and the rest of your “students” on this channel.

You've brought an artist back to life, for a while, in my mind. Thank you!

This is such a lovely comment! Thank you ☺️
Yea! It's Friday!!❤❤
The portrait of Mary Neville, and the next one with her and her son, have an astonishingly modern air about them. I think it's the expressions.
Happy Birthday!
I recognize the Master John painting at the beginning of the video from a wonderful coloring book i had as a child. It was women's clothing through history, i think.

🖌🎖🏆 Painter, jeweller, goldsmith (best I could manage). I love art history the most of any kind of history. ❤
Thank you, Dr. Kat! This was very interesting! ❤❤
Happt birthday Dr Kat. May your day and evening be joyful with celebration with your husband and son. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

My roommate's cat is scared of the TV but she always comes out to watch your videos with me. Idk why but you are Celes approved!
Didn't know about this gentleman, despite having seen his portraits many times, thank you for sharing! 🎨🖌
Thank you for this. I've tended to look at a portrait out of interest in the sitter more than in the artist. He was amazing -such attention to the details of clothing and jewellery - yet the faces of the people are wonderfully alive.💛
I love your series on court painters! its so interesting to see how art, economics, and politics all intersect 💍👑🎨. (and happy belated birthday! 🎂🎁🎉)
Great episode! Mary Neville is my 12th great grandmother so interesting learning more about her portraits.
I really love his portraits of Mary I. The details are phenomenal! Excellent video 👍
I love your channel and narration, I listen to you on TH-cam and look forward to more videos and information about personages who, though long gone, have left an incredible imprint on English history devotees like me. tHANK YOU!

I hope you have a fun day on your birthday. Love your presentations. 🎉❤
☺️enjoyed the look at the artist 🎨 that isn't discussed as often as Holbein. I enjoy your content on history. Thank you for doing these videos.
I enjoy seeing the spelling of words from the past, for example "paynter". Love watching your videos, Dr. Kat!
BRILLIANT presentation as usual. 👑 Would love to learn of of other painters of that same period.🖼 Thanks Dr. Kat and Happy Birthday 🥂🍾
Enjoyed this presentation -- like all of yours -- very much. Have seen many of Hans Eworth's artworks, but did not know very much about this particular artist. Thank you for providing more details on his life and work. Especially like the painting of Queen Elizabeth and the 3 classical goddesses.
🎨 I like the details in the big painting of E1 with the three goddesses.
I've never had an interest in this subject but I enjoy listening to you so much that I'll watch anything. Who knows, i might eve learn something!
Happy birthday Dr Kat. Another great episode. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I just discovered Dr Kat--wooohooo 🎉❤🥳👏
Thank you. It's wonderful to see his works! I particularly enjoyed the one of Elizabeth I with the 3 Goddesses. I am curious as to where the palace or manor house is/are that formed the backgrounds. The Royal Collection Trust theorizes Windsor for the background castle.🎨

Happy birthday! Been a subscriber for a while - love your take on unusual subjects.

Well that was fascinating! Thank you!
I enjoy seeing and exploring the contemporaries of the more well known artists of any age. It paints a more complete image of the era. Thank you
I really enjoy your videos 😊

Happiest of birthdays to you! 🎉
