I’ll always be partial to the Roman inspired beauty of early American art and architecture; especially John Trumble, 🤩🤩🤩 but I enjoy all kinds of art from all over the world!!!
In the 1600s, a German prince received a portrait of his intended bride from the country’s ambassador. After examining the image, he remarked, "It's a lovely painting, but her nose seems larger, her cheeks less rounded, and her lips fuller." The ambassador was taken aback and asked, "Have you met her?" The prince replied, "No, but I understand how court painters work."
Said it before, say it again: Great, highly entertaining work. Your channel won by the fact, that you appear in person on the screen showing your passion and likeability fitting your really beatiful speaking voice.
Great video! I've always wondered if ancient people looked like their portraits, but never thought about it this way. It's obvious that men and women from previous centuries wanted to look "better" and asked the painter to modify their appearance, to match their centuries beauty standards!
This was such an intriguing video! First off, you are absolutely stunning and would be a beauty in any century!! It's so interesting how throughout time it's just been a thing for us to edit and adjust how we look on photos/paintings. Great video as always! ❤
Subtext is so important! I have a history degree and am an artist myself and even though I paint abstracts I absolutely love that your videos are so art history focused! YOu are one of my favorite youtube channels!
That was a fun video. It doesn't seem like much in some ways, but those changes had huge impacts to your face. We forget how often we see this with make up today, much less photography editing and cosmetic surgery.
This is an incredible video. A fascinating topic, beautifully demonstrated and explained, and so detailed. Well done! I would love to see a part two with more periods, if possible!
So great to see the lovely face behind the voice in these most interesting videos. The concept of beauty is certainly something that has evolved and continues to change over the years. Thank you for the wonderful work and research you do. Your videos are amazing and very much appreciated!
This just goes to show how much beauty standards have changed over the years. Most would say Becca has attractive features, yet look how much she had to change them to fit various eras.
We were in the 70s on holiday in St Tropez, and there was a painter, so my grandmother said, c'mon, let's make a portrait of you. So the painter began on his "lookalike" portrait. When he got finished. I looked exactly as my mother, and was totally different that I looked like. What I mean is, every painter has its own idea to look at people. When grandmother passed away, I found that painting, and it was the first thing that was thrown away. I hated it.
I have definitely noticed the trend in historic portraits to make women's eyes enormous, to the point where they look almost googly. This reflects human nature -- one of the things we find subconsciously endearing in children and even animals is the size of their eyes relative to the rest of their faces. I think that part of the talent of these portrait painters was to capture their subjects in the way the subjects themselves preferred to look. Having a gifted and renowned artist paint you in a flattering manner would have been the ultimate validation. Anything less would have been dangerous for the painter.
Wow! You keep finding unique ways to teach me about history! Thanks for sharing what you learned from your work! This was wonderful. Looking forward to the next video!
Really enjoyed this one - especially seeing how different eras would "filter" their portraiture. Using your own face to demonstrate this was an inspired choice!
Explains a lot about how the style of the time influences the art. The others comments re: your picture inserted into an era, are correct. You would have been a beauty regardless of the artist’s skill. Kudos to Andre for his usual expertise in the creation of the video.
Great video! I always thought that the painters surely used some kind of "filter" to make them look better. Like Holbein's famous portrait of Henry 8. At that time he wasn't as healthy as portrayed. Great idea to use your pretty face to show us the difference. Thank you for your effort 🙏
Another great video 😊 Interesting and informative like always. Loved that you used yourself to showcase how portraits, depending on the era, altered features to convey beauty standards of that era.
While I could see the obvious trends of portraiture, I couldn't tell you what the trend was. Thank you for such an informative video. I think that I would look best in the early modern era (or at least hope that I would look the best!)
Loving your new format. Makes it so much more personal, like I'm sitting in a classroom with a favorite teacher. This was a fascinating look into ancient photoshop! Oh, and you'd be beautiful in any era! 😊 Hopefully Andre will sit with you some day. Thank you for the work you both do!
Excellent video! Thanks! So good to see you finally appear on screen in one of your videos ( like Stephanie on "Real Science" recently started doing!) 🙂
Amazing work. I really enjoyed this one. After you explained the different eras and beauty standards I was actually able to look at the portraits in a different way. Thank you.
This was so informative. Thank you for illuminating the different styles and their idiosyncrasies. I now have a greater appreciation for the work you do!
That was so fascinating! I think I love this video with all its insights into portraiture of the past the most- though I love them all. Thank you for taking us behind the scenes!
That's really eye-opening video. I've always wondered why exactly historical portraits look a little off and now I know. It's very interesting especially with Tudors that even with their portraits they could look a lot different in real life. I can't wait for more videos like this! 🤩☺️
This was such a good video even though it was short! I am waiting for a part two. This explains in detail the way people filtered and photoshopped their looks through painting. Painters still do this today on request of the client.
What a great video! A fascinating look (no pun intended) at the same ol' concept: famous women of a particular era, informing the rest of society on how to present themselves accordingly.
Thank you for the portrays analysis, and the religious and aesthetic values of each time. It made total sense why they looked the way they did. Marie Antoinette was still beautiful 💖 That dead mask was probably a bit deformed, considering it was made of wax.
I love your channel and watch all of your videos, and I am just offering this as a way to bring in new viewers for you… I think it would be really cool to do what you did with your own face with celebrities who currently Photoshop themselves anyway lol… Basically, if you could get your hands on l pictures of what they look like with and without Photoshop and also take the original photo and stylize it for different eras, u think people would really enjoy it and learn a lot about art and history!
It makes me wonder how my portrait would look. This reminds me of a scene in the movie The Slipper and the Rose. There is a scene where the prince went to meet with potential brides and he complained about the one who doesn't look anything like her portrait.
At one point, several hundred years ago, high foreheads were considered beautiful and fashionable ladies shaved their hairlines. To us, they look like they were balding. Standards of beauty were different centuries ago.
So... my portrait would look best in the 1600s 😅 Round/oval face, large eyes, rounder nose. Somehow, knowing that was the beauty standard of the time, makes me feel a bit better ❤ Thank you, this was a fascinating video! Loved the comparisons.
Ya.. these videos up until now we're my go-toos for informative ASMR. Where I don't have to see anyones face and my focus was only on the story, like in the book. I guess what I'm politely asking is, could you please go back to be invisible.
Interesting...however, the more I know about these royal women of the past, I'm more grateful to be living now & far away from the discretionary power they had in peoples' lives. Remember, they had the ability to do whatever they wanted with their "subjects". No thanks (but thanks for your vid; it was fascinating 👍
Hello royalty now. I have a video recommendation. If you would please do Harriet Lane. Former First Lady of the USA. Also I really love your content, I show my parents your videos every time you upload. And they have been amazing 👏 hope your doing well and great content
Very interesting video, just a little commentary: it is "Francisco de Goya", not "Francisco Goya". Not all Spanish surnames are one only word, as some comes after the particle "de".

The last portrait of you was absolutely STUNNING!

Thank you ❤️❤️
@@RoyaltyNowStudios I just state the obvious.
Very different Video From all of the other's. But also fascinating, and the fact that every Century of Decade had their own Beauty standard's.
Élizabeth Vigée le Brun and her amazing artistry could be the subject of several videos. Her portraits are stunning!
Great breakdown of art styles. When I see an historical portrait again, I'll be looking it with a different view.
Very interesting, I always thought the proportions were off in old paintings and why we look so different now, now I know why.
So great to see the face behind the voice. Thanks for all that research. Amazing presentation!
Great video! I've always wondered if ancient people looked like their portraits, but never thought about it this way. It's obvious that men and women from previous centuries wanted to look "better" and asked the painter to modify their appearance, to match their centuries beauty standards!
I have been wanting a visual explanation of this subject for decades. Well done. Thank you.
What a good idea to show the differences in the styles! So interesting to see.
We’re so glad you enjoyed it :)

That was a fun video. It doesn't seem like much in some ways, but those changes had huge impacts to your face.

I like all your work but this one was great! It is so eye opening to question what reality verses spin looks like.
Brilliant! Loved the creativity and historical context behind the art.

This is such a great video! Really shows how we have to take every portrait with a grain of salt.
Love your work, Becca, it is always something new to learn for me ❤
i really enjoy your work, the way you tell the story only makes it more captivating ☺️
This video is magistral. Brava!
I liked the format of this video it was very pleasant to watch!
Love your channel! You are so talented and informative ❤❤

Thanks for this mini course on the subject.
Very Interesting!
So interesting! Thank you!

Beatiful job and amazing Styles congratulations from Chile,i liked video greetings here "Kiwi Peter "👌👍🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
I actually find Marie's death mask more pretty than portraits of her. If this is how she looked like, then yeah, she was beautiful.
Great concept and execution! Loved seeing the different eras. Really well explained as always.
I totally agree because ive always wondered why do both people during those past eras used to look alike so much
What a great video! A fascinating look (no pun intended) at the same ol' concept: famous women of a particular era, informing the rest of society on how to present themselves accordingly.
Thank you for the portrays analysis, and the religious and aesthetic values of each time. It made total sense why they looked the way they did.
Marie Antoinette was still beautiful 💖
That dead mask was probably a bit deformed, considering it was made of wax.
This is an amazing video! Thank you! You are so talented and knowledgeable.
This was so interesting. Thank you for explaining how to imagine the real person behind the styles of the era.
very interesting thank you
i love the Tudor portraiture, you look amazing! i love your videos!
That was really informative, thank you ⭐️
Got to love our Becca! TY ❤
I love your channel. You truly are an expert on the topic you cover. And you are beautiful, no matter what century you put yourself in.
I always look forward to your videos. I'd love to see the Brontë sisters brought to life.
I found this video very informative. Thank you for making it.
I love this video concept this was so informative and interesting!
Its been cool to see your face recently too!
Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun would have done a great job on your portrait.
Fabulous
I absolutely💞 your channel & the new format is terrific. FWIW I preferred the Tudor you...
This was very interesting. Thank you.
This was beautifully made

Thanks👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
Ya.. these videos up until now we're my go-toos for informative ASMR. Where I don't have to see anyones face and my focus was only on the story, like in the book.
I guess what I'm politely asking is, could you please go back to be invisible.
These videos are great! Could you do Ada Lovelace?
Interesting...however, the more I know about these royal women of the past, I'm more grateful to be living now & far away from the discretionary power they had in peoples' lives.

Very interesting video, just a little commentary: it is "Francisco de Goya", not "Francisco Goya". Not all Spanish surnames are one only word, as some comes after the particle "de".
Are you the voice over for the Alux channel? I just realized your voice sounds like her.

Hi, just curious, what software are you using on your portrait touch up that you used on your video? Adobe?
