Insightful discussion of a fascinating painting. (And thanks to the video editor for eschewing the annoying background music that has marred some earlier presentations.)
It's very pleasant to see and listen to this very detailed description of such an important art work. At first glance one will think Michaelangelo Caravaggio is the artist and yet is Iordanio's work!
Ovid’s Metamorphoses is not a collection of short stories, but rather a highly innovative long poem, a quasi-epic of interconnected and nested narratives. It was widely read from the point of its composition onwards, including the Middle Ages-it’s been called “the other Bible,” because it was so frequently cited by artists and writers in that period.
7:42 why would that be surprising? Giordano's is much more realistic, which to a society before cameras, would be appreciated much more since it takes much more skill. Also, Giordano's painting depicts a story that is much more interesting than Ruben's.
Marvellous! The world owes The National Gallery a debt of most humble gratitude.
Thank you very much for presenting.🌅
You're most welcome

Perseus seems modeled on the running figure in Michelangelo's Battle of Cascina
Weird how the red line on her dress matches perfectly with the red cordon behind her
Wonderful talk, as always! Can anyone identify for me the painting at the lower left of the screen, the one underneath the Madonna and Child? Thanks!
It’s a Gioacchino Assereto’s “The Angel appears to Hagar and Ishmael”.
