    "Pretty Baa Lambs" is like what you would produce if everyone told you that your paintings were too dark and you should paint more light, happy pictures. And you were like "You want light and happy, I'll give you light and happy!"

    Oh my god! When I was little, I used to go to the art museum in Birmingham with my grandad. There were 2 paintings that my grandad always gravitated towards and would explain to me. One was “the blind girl” by John Everett malais and the other was this! I can’t believe this popped up on my recommendations. My grandad won a scholarship to Moseley school of art and couldn’t go because his parents couldn’t afford the uniform. This has really taken me back - rest in peace grandad! x

      Soooo sad he couldn't go to Moseley Art school! I hope he never gave up with his art! (I lived for a short while in Balsall Heath and loved Moseley...in early 1980s! I expect it has changed now as many inner city neighbourhoods do constantly. Take good care!

    This could be an image of my great-great grandparents who left the poverty of 1856 Liverpool for a new life in Australia. It must have been very emotional for them because they said their goodbyes to family and friends knowing full well they would never see them again and they could never return, the cost been prohibitive and their prosperity uncertain. They took their 18month old boy James who sadly died while the ship was passing below South Africa, the ships log gives the precise co-ordinates where he was buried at sea in a cold lonely spot. Somehow on the voyage they managed to get some private time alone and a pregnancy was the result, they went on the have 5 children and have numerous descendants scattered al over Australia but sadly, all contact with the family remaining in England has been lost, my ANZAC Grandfather managed to find some distant family in 1917 but they have been lost as well but my search continues....

    Some of my family migrated from England to Australia in the 1850s! I haven't seen this painting before - seeing it now brings a whole new level of empathy to what it might have been like to make such a journey. Unreal, thank you

      I was thinking a similar thing, how * everyone * back then in London and Paris (and Berlin and Rome and Warsaw, for that matter) must have had relatives who'd emigrated to the States, Australia, Canada. It was no surprise to me that it sold quickly, and for so much...

      It's pretty mindboggling thinking about the many people who emigrated in steerage to our Australasian region during that era... Essentially leaving their family behind never to see them again, spending months enroute and rebuilding a whole new life on arrival. (Generally through participating in dispossession of the native peoples, alas 🤦🏻‍♀️)
      Embarking with children like the family in the painting, in particular - can you imagine trying to deal with endless baby poop and spitup in steerage with the severely limited fresh water supply and frequent weather-related difficulty of accessing the deck?? And trying to entertain an active small child in the crowded shared conditions below-deck... If you've ever seen a museum reproduction of the bunk spaces allotted to steerage passengers, it's pretty shocking to see how cramped their accommodations really were, and for months on end!

    Regarding the drunken men: disgraced sons of well-to-do families who were considered to be beyond redemption were often sent to Australia, to spare their families the shame and embarrassment of having them around. The families would send them money or "remittances". They were known in Australia as "remittance men", people who lived a pointless, wasted life, with nothing to do but wait for the next payment from England.

      And the dark side to that is that these men would threaten - perhaps 'blackmail' would be better - to return, no doubt with the lie that they had a tremendous offer made to them - if only he had a little more of 'the ready'. (My Canadian gf often called me a remittance man, but I came here by choice... but I doubt we had the anxiety the painter portrayed!!!)

    Oooo, you have made my head tingle showing this painting...I have had the honour of standing right in front of it in Birmingham UK museum...which keeps many originals including William Morris and other pre Raphaelite works...many people loving this eras art, are sadly ignorant of this treasure house! Back to this picture...firstly it is large! The colours are brilliant! It emotionally grabs the hearts of onlookers...these young people will never see their home family again! She has a baby inside her shawl...imagine the strength of character both parents have...setting off on suge a huge adventure!? They would have been Christian..Pilgrims maybe? Thank you for the joy you have given me in showing this wonderful work of art, I last saw 42 years ago!. The whole message here is HOPE! 🙏

    Her expression and the way it’s so still in the round frame of her hair, bright bonnet and hood makes it so different from anything else in the image it’s almost difficult to look at. Like everything else is in motion while her face is relaxed or in shock. It definitely has that eerie preraphealite photorealistic but unnaturally perfect framing. I love all the details you pointed out. I wouldn’t have noticed since I’m so mesmerized by her face. Didn’t notice the baby or how protective the man is with her, much less the stories in the background.
    Unrelated, his skin texture is unlike any I’ve seen. Very unusual

    I've watched so many of your videos, it's not surprising that you would notice something as unremarkable as a squished in pinky finger, and remind us how that simple thing conveys so much emotion and the mental state of the woman crushing her husband's hand. The nervousness and apprehension of moving her family across oceans could have been told with a tortured look on her face as done in so many other paintings, but Brown wanted his wife to look strong in the face of this adventure, yet also be able to show how scared she must have been... and you found that little detail.
    It's your attention to detail that keeps me coming back for more of your brilliant reviews.

    I am a bit amazed that nobody else noticed that the length of red scarf/ribbon extending between them looks exactly like a knife held at her throat, complete with pommel and fingers wrapped around it. This is not unintentional as it too closely resembles a double edged dagger. He is seen both holding an umbrella to protect her and a dagger aimed at her throat complete with blood filling her cowl. This is not a happy painting.

    I think A LOT of us in America and Australia rose tint our ancestors’ journey to get here. We paint them as always being noble and dignified no matter what they were going through, but that clearly wasn’t always the case. One of my ancestress was heavily pregnant when she made the crossing, and her husband died shortly into the voyage, leaving her with two other children. I often wonder just how she was able to go on after all of that

    I love when you talk about the Pre-Raphaelites, because this section of my art history classes were so frustratingly vague. Aside from thinking Elizabeth Siddal was cool and deserved to be known as more than a model, I never really got what their deal was, or managed to care who was in Siddal's fan club. It's a relief to finally have someone explain them well, and also sound about as fed up with their art bro shenanigans.

    Clearly the ribbon is important. While the color catches our eye initially, its dynamic action seems to be an event in development. If you look carefully you will see the bow holding her bonnet in place has all but been pulled loose by the wind. If the bonnet goes flying, neither of them are in a position to catch it before it’s lost forever.

    Another fabulous video!
    To me, I see no "optimism" in her, instead, she looks to have suspended all judgement. She's on her way and determined not think of anything, shown in that pressed hand u comment upon.
    Please consider a video on the kind of art accepted as "good" during the Victorian Era. All of your 19th century artists work comments against it in one way or another, as u always point out, but I think most people would be shocked to see just how bad the "good" art was at the time.
    The only depiction I have seen anywhere outside of an Art museum (and the Art Institute of Chicago has a room dedicated to this, outside of their Impressionist and Post Impressionsit galleries) is the 1999 film "An Ideal Husband". Minnie Driver, Cate Blanchett, Rupert Everett). What passed for advanced art in London at that time is pretty awful, and hard to find now since everyone focuses on what was rejected then but embraced later...

    Sometimes when we have arguments we have “if I weren’t here you would …..”, kind of moments. And we might visualize our lives differently than they are-only because we are hurting or mad, we are just reacting instead of responding. Anyway, this painting could be his “getaway” that kept him sane. And it’s being seen through a telescope-through Heaven? Being watched over by his loved ones -wherever he goes?
