- Caroline Campbell, Head of Curatorial, discusses 'The Agony in the Garden', by Giovanni Bellini, an incredible painting by one of the most influential and celebrated Venetian artists. The talk also looks at Bellini’s pioneering portrayal of natural light, and compares his depiction of this biblical story to a painting on the same theme by his brother-in-law, Andrea Mantegna.

Caroline Campbell is the ideal lecturer on Art. Obviously enthusiastic, articulate, edifying. Thanks for posting.
I've recently enjoyed her interview/chat with Michael Palin
Could you please show more of the pictures (the wholes and details) when the curator is speaking? Speaking very well, by the way
I enjoy all the speakers’ enthusiasm!,
She is excellent lecturer and speaker. Really enjoyed this.
I'm so honored to watch these presentations.
Caroline Campbell does a great job in these videos. Speaks with expertise and enthusiasm...no distracting umm of ahhs. Excellent presentation, interesting details about Andrea Mantegna.
This series of lectures on paintings are absolutely enlightening; I love listening to new information (for me) and to the lives and reasoning of these master painters. Indeed, I am filled with gratitude.
These great talks only need more camera time close to the painting.
Thank you for every minute of this wonderful art history lecture.
what an excellent presentation!
So happy I discovered this world of art. The curator was marvelous in portraying the details both hidden and open to view. Thank you for this interesting and beautiful world of art.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much!! Congratulations!
this was wonderful
Thank you so much! Amazing!
All comments are spot on.....if she looks at this painting every day before opening, she must be
running past it as fast as she can! I just imagine living w/her and listening to that speed! Amazing.
Amazing collection of vídeos! I'm so glad you've decided to do this. Thanx a lot!!
I enjoyed this very much, thank you.
Listening these beautiful lectures fills my heart with joy and life, my mind with inspiration and desire to create. This is greatness in life, its art.
She mentioned the painting might have been commissioned for devotional purposes. The Agony in the Garden is the first Sorrowful Mystery of one of the Catholic Church’s most important devotional prayers, the Rosary. 🙂
Giovanni Bellini was one of my favorite painters.
"Il doge Loredan" is one of the most beautiful portrait that I have ever seen.
Wonderful!!!!
Brilliant. Thank you Caroline.
Art is about to imagine the believable image and ideas inside each mind. That’s amazing of making up one’s own story. This is also the prestigious ability of human beings.
Stunning pictures, stunning speaker.
Very interesting and enjoyable. Thank you.
Nice talk
clear and informative lecture . thank you!
I hope to come over and see it in person. Thank you!
Bellissimo, sono appassionata delle Madonne con Bambino di Bellini e della Pala di San Zaccaria, quando posso vado a Venezia ad ammirarle, grazie
Thanks for sharing
Excellent! Very informative.
LIJEPO REČENO , HVALA
Thanks 😘😘😘😘😘
The lecture is very good. Thank you! But please show more of the picture instead of the lecturer!!!! This is the only comment that goes to ALL the lectures of NG. We, the youtubers, do not have the privilege of looking around and stare at the paintings while listening to the talk. Please keep it in mind when making a video. Please be considerate!
Diletant Agreed. Whenever possible, camera on the detail, please!
Brava Caroline Campbell!
The fact that there is a gap in the fence, may well refer to the open possibility for Christ, to escape and not to take the chalice offered by the angel (which means the chalice of suffering and death mentioned by Mark.)
I prefer Bellini’s Agony in the Garden to Mantegna’s
And his view of painting only what you know and are familiar with🎨 👍👍💛💛
Thank you for your knowledge and interest in this painting. I am curious if art historians consult with actual artists when they are compiling information. Did Mantegna use a blue for Jesus that faded? Otherwise why would he make the center of attention the dullest part of the painting?
Dr. Campbell's talks are my favorites in this series. Her talks are well-structured and present current scholarship in a clear and approachable manner. Both the Bellini and Botticelli (th-cam.com/video/jNkHq6QXX30/w-d-xo.html) presentations are very entertaining.
big up to ms campbell
Charming , Goode deeds ! C ya !
It is a very suitable paintin of Bellini connected to easter and Jesus
're they know?Only siting and hear your talking so very very well.
It’s very irritating that the camera person doesn’t show much of the painting. The curator is excellent in talking about different aspects of the painting but the camera person doesn’t show what she’s talking about. We know what she looks like and we know who is talking so why do we need to have the whole program focusing on her? We want to see the painting so we can follow the talk
Where exactly did Bellini live in Venice?
It is a good presentation but, please, show the Romans, show the stone when she talks about it. It is not a lecturer, really, who we should be keep looking at.
The subject of the talk is The Painting.
Show us the painting!
No need ever to focus on the speaker.
google it.
Check out khan academy art. They only show the painting.
Ingrate!
Giovanni shows the his favourite place always high up. If you went there you would know leo has been there AOMPS Jesuits etc Zion. I am interested in the Geometric connections. Blue and Red was the centre piece. Keys would have been passed by. One day I explain to my Son he walked in the footsteps of Gio and Leo. Oh yes the degree angle will be facing. Thanks
TheUfologist - the way you explain things, your poor son will be baffled. I sure was.
well, she sure is enthusiastic.
Very impressive, informative and interesting! However, with due respect, I do not think that nature as such has anything to do with the representation of it in a painting. This must necessarily be a subjective, condensed view or rather impression, suggestive of - rather than an image of the thing itself, unless perhaps in the Gent Altarpiece, the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, by Van Eyck, in which at least 75 (!) plants have been identified. And yes, this masterpiece (1432) was also painted for an (individual) very rich patron in my home town Gent (or Ghent as it is known in English).
Interesting lecture. I hoped I would discover why the angel that Christ sees in the clouds, in Giovanni Bellini's work, is so ugly. Any thought?
Does anyone know where's her odd accent from?
She said at the begging that she was from Northern Ireland. 1:02
I have one of them if u wana write me
she know about Bellini more than her husband
HAVE YOU EVER MADE THIS TYPE OF PRESENTATIONS, ALONG WITH THREE OF YOUR FEMALE COLLEGUES, SUCH AS SOMEBODY NAMES FRANCESCA, FOR BAs STUDYING AT THE COURTAUKD OR FOR ARTISTS STUDYING AT THE ROYAL COLKEGE OF ART. FOR ARTISTS, IT CAN BE A BIT DIFFERENT, AS IT COULD ALSO DEALS WITH COLOUR, LANDSCAPE THEORIES, GEOMETRIC COMPOSITION, ETC. FOR THIS SOECIFIC AUDIENCE, IT WOUKD BE GOOD TO PLACE THIS ARTEFACT IN A MORE GENERAL CONTEXT, OR ART TRAINING IN THE ITALY OF THE EARLY RENAISSANCE (AND BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE ACCADEMIA DEL DISEGNO OF VASARI IN FLORENCE, WHICH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THE FIRST ART SCHOOL OF EALY MODERN EUROPE). SO HAVE YOU EVER HAD THIS TYPE OF AUDIENCES? THIS QUESTION APPLIES TOO TO YOUR THREE FEMALE COLLEGUES THAT I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING IN THEIR PRESENTATIONS. FOR "DEBUTANTS" AND "DEBUTTANTES", ART SHOULD BE PEIMARILY BEEN TAUGHT IN SITU, ALMOST A BIT
Nobody so far has mentioned the glaring mistakes. Christ is not 'sitting' or (later) 'standing'; he is kneeling. He did not, according to christian doctrine, assume divinity after execution, but had it from birth. These are egregious errors.
Great job by the speaker! Frustrating job by the person filming - we want to listen to her talk about the painting while we look at the painting. 🙄
Why is the figure of the angel with the cup of sorrow depicted so poorly? I wonder if it is a later addition. Looks far too amateurish for a master painter.
Is there only one National Gallery in the world ? If not - why does the title not indicate which one is the one ? Surely, it is not asking for too much. No need to listen to the video, judge by the accent or the content - just state it clearly - in the title - to begin with.
Johann Brandstatter - haven’t you figured it out YET? Duh.
Get over it.
This is the oldest and first National Gallery. So it gets to use the name
It’s all in the description
She talks non stop barely able to catch her breath and uses more words than is necessary to describe the paintings. This is not fast-food and we are not trying to run thru Heathrow Security to catch a plane. Slow down and let the concepts digest and let our minds absorb the beauty and art. Listening to you is like paying for a 300,000 pound bottle of wine and drinking it during a Marathon race.
.
Perhaps you should speed up your brain.
Agreed. For me, she's not an easy listen. Too fast and her voice is not pleasing to listen to as it's a bit high, almost squeaky. Clearly some others seem to think she's amazing. We're all different.
The focus should be on the painting not on the speaker, also I would like to say this lady should have made a little more effort with her appearance, she looks like she is going to a demo or a beer festival not given a talk on a remarkable work of art
, yes its a terrible comment, I totally agree, we all make mistakes.
@MrZapparin yes your right, I shouldn't have said that
