    Waldemar Januszczak embarks on an investigation to unveil the identity of the two most tangible faces in William Dobson's work, adopting the telling symbolisms to uncover the mysterious relationship behind the old and younger man. Seldom does the river Thames subside in art, with its distinct meanders and murky waters often filling the frame. Waldemar exploits how the subtlety of the river unifies and reveals the identity of these two unlikely associates.

    No need to reiterate how well Waldemar struts his stuff. His productions are top of the line quality. It's quality layered upon quality, like a painter applies layer upon layer over the canvas, to achieve the desired effect. He's an artist in his own right. Thank you.

      I continue to be amazed at not only how entertained I am but how much Waldemar increases my appreciation of art. I am a wiser person for watching this, just incredible

    I treasure all of these documentaries. Just so well done. The Narrator has a way of really bringing the Art alive in its Context, if that makes any sense.

    In many of Dobsons paintings I can see resemblances to many English actors of today.
    Such a sad ending young and penniless.

  • @christopherstclair3297
    @christopherstclair3297 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    See the enormous mass of blood-drenched history, and through its incomprehensible madness focus on one victim of time and tide; see his sadness, and through his eyes you might suddenly understand the horror of history. For me, in this presentation, the "old man," i.e. Taylor, who had to abandon his ill wife in order to flee the war, sums it all up through Dobson's superb painting.

    The chap in the painting at 8.26 (he's wearing dove grey with a white lace edged collar) is such a ringer for Oliver Reed, completely his double especially those eyes.

    At 18:54 the two portraits don't appear to be of the same person to me.The younger guy's eye are unusually fully round, but the old guy's eye's are unusually tight. They both have that bulbed nose, but the nostrils are not the same. I just don't see a resemblance.

    • @hogwashmcturnip8930
      @hogwashmcturnip8930 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Me neither. I didn't see much with the younger man either. If that was painted at the same time as his poem was published, and that engraving was contemporary, he must have put on a hell of a lot of weight overnight!

    • @grandidea2085
      @grandidea2085 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      People’s noses get larger as they age. The younger man’s nose is turned down, the older turns up and has a bulbous end. No way the younger could be the same person. NONE!

    • @luiscuixara4622
      @luiscuixara4622 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The portrait of the older gent, not by Dobson, shows a depression, or slight cleft, to the frontal plain of the man's skull, right between his gazers. Unless he had a plate installed, which would've involved some sort of time-traveling carriage, I'd say the nororious turnback lector, Mr. Januszczak is proved, by this careless error, fallible.

    Whacko, glad to hear we had Dobson. Not that he has been properly made public.Less of the 'carousing', Charles I's court wasn't the Restoration. Charles I was fairly abstemious in general. Interesting to find that the character of the Water Poet, a subject loyal to the monarch but otherwise somewhat anarchic, is a type that existed then because it is still alive today.

    "Scholars, not scullers." Now, that is poetry. But I didn't care for how he called Dobson's wife the "first real wench in British art" as the camera dwells on her décolletage. Cleavage was usual among the aristocracy, too, you know.
