- At his Florentine studio Charles Cecil teaches the "sight-size" method of portraiture developed during the Renaissance, a technique he thinks would otherwise die off. Correspondent Seth Doane talks to students who are keeping it very much alive.

It’s amazing to see the models hold the same pose, same expressions for hours. That must be incredibly difficult.
Jeanne BlondeWomanStamping They have breaks and just keep a straight face.
This is why there are virtually no portratraits of people smiling all those years ago. Love it.
I think they just keep a relaxed face its impossible to smile for such a long time muscles get tired
They have 10 minutes poses. Then relax the muscles.
Beautiful artist all!!
This is cool and all but the notion that sight size would die off without this school is absurd. Most ateliers teach sight size. Angel Academy is one, which is also right there in Florence. How could he not know that?
"that't the soul. . . you're talking about the soul"
Every Sunday Morning is a treat. Thank you Jane and everyone past and present that has brought to the television medium a work of art.
So great to see this technique preserved.
A digital artist in TH-cam called Marco bucci also recommends it - seeing the image as a thumbnail allows you to see the forms better as opposed to getting lost in the details! *
I love the old as much as anybody, but let's not die unappreciative of what we have here now wallowing in nostalgia!
*he has many great tutorials
I love this story. It's so nice some of the old techniques in art are being kept alive by those who love the craft. I'm not good with paint and canvas but I have an appreciation of those who are excelling in it. I'm better with fiber art.
This reminds us that nothing can compare to the creative desires of the heart. Well done CBS !!
I wish I could go to Florence and study under him.
Ah...the sweet smell of oil paints in a room! Priceless!
A smartphone doesn't replace being there in person.
Who else wants to move to Florence and learn to paint like the masters?
No need to get coronavirus just to learn art
What a beautiful job in a spectacular city...
Interesting. A terrific story is set in Renaissance Florence. The background music for the entire narrative is by Vivaldi of Venice.
Che Bella!
Brilliant words. Stop. Enter the world of the painting.
Thank you CBS it’s lovely to shine a light on the educator of future masters.
Amazing
wow I love that artisan techniques are being appreciated and preserved.
What could be better than getting your 10,000 steps daily while painting?
Also, it’s not that I’m not a purist, it’s just I can’t afford a live model, okay?
THANK YOU!!! oh how I loved this!! Hang on to the Master technique 💚
Great job CBS, thank god for the gentleman. No art should die.
An average viewer looks at a painting for 7 seconds and in fact the Mona Lisa for 4 seconds
The narrators vocal inflictions make me want to pull my hair out.
I visited Charles at the Studios in January with my wife. Also met with Francis. Very nice people. Great place to Learn.....Planning on going back in the next 1-2 years to participate in the Drawing Foundational Year.
It is refreshing to see the pursuit of excellence in action!
My trick was to turn a work upside down to see the basic shapes. Sometimes things dont see quite right bu then you turn the work upside down and the discrepancies show right up
I have watched this program from the very first show. I would make coffee and hubby would go get a big ol' Sunday Oklahoma n (remember those? Before the I net?!). We watched Sunday morning drank coffee and perused the paper. I still love to watch it!
Whoever at CBS Sunday Morning is programming & producing these AMAZING art segments ( including the one on Hollywood Backdrop painting and preservation) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
The teacher is like a calmer Donald Trump
Thank you CBS... however you should know this is a huge resurgence of representational and classical styles reimagined going on world wide. Look at instagram for instance. Abstract and this super modernist installation crap you saw through the older generations is no longer the desire of younger artists. Creating the illusion of reality is now once again the main desire. We need the establishment and especially New York to start paying more attention instead staying stuck in the 70's. I make a healthy income as a professional nationally represented artist painting realism.
Devin Michael Roberts agree. They did a bit of a disservice to the growing number of academies that are teaching classical realism. The Angel academy is also in Florence for example and has many well known and regarded graduates. The imply Cecil is the only one teaching classical realism. It was an enjoyable segment in any case
@@jeffhreid they were specifically referring to the "sight-size" technique (1:37) rather than classical realism in general.
Amazing technique! I am amateur oil painter...definitely wanna learn there if there are shortcourses available. My teacher was New Yorker (englishman in NY)... I met in IG in 2015. Of course in Asia, lessons as these are so restricting.
Save this!!!
His studio is the pinnacle of atelier learning.
Thank you, I did not know about this teacher!
Now thats one place I'd like to study at.
Thanks more videos on artist please.❤
A place to learn an art lost to politics
Thank you so much for shedding light and sharing with us this treasure of a story
This guy should be more humble. There're many other ateliers in Florence (linked to Russia, to Britain, to Italy, obviously). None of them own this man anything, they preserve and are transmiting the classical arts traditions to the next generations. Take a look: "florence classical arts academy" and "Angels academy of art"...
I want to go to that school
...No...you "will" go to that school!
@@fineartist7710 YES, I stand corrected. I will go to that school. Good form.
It's the linseed oil...it's positively intoxicating.
Feel with your eyes, see with your heart and your soul will be filled!
Thanks for the amazing video, love it!
I wonder what the student outcomes are
wtf its not dead thats how i paint and i do it out random helps with sizing out the shape ?
Wow, that was so interesting ! I want to go there ! Thanks
It is better than modern art
This is so beautiful
I always use a mirror 🌹
Guys its exhausting
My phone has a camera...
Stunning portraitures, certainly something that photography could never replicate. So glad this art form has been preserved.
It's Hillary!!!
Anyone know what the pieces of music are in this video? there is one at about :20 and another at about 5:14.
@CCRider Thank you! I added Shazam extension to my browser and was able to figure out the pieces are both Vivaldi:
-L'estro armonico, Op. 3, Concerto No. 6 in A Minor for Violin and Strings,
and
-Concerto for 2 Mandolins in G Major, RV 532: II. Andante
*_Fantastic work!_*
I love such realism!
I am *utterly bored with postmodernist canvas splattering* ...give me this style, _everyday!_
if you, an american, were not teaching it "the technique would be dead"? Are you out of your mind?! Think about, for a moment, why you're in Florence in the first place and pay the respect to the italian masters alive today. By the way this guy is a very low tier figurative painter.
why aren't there any italians? 😯
There are Italians
How about coronavirus
A few cases in Emilia Romagna the region attached to the north of Tuscany, but I heard of none in Tuscany where there's the city of Florence!
Please make a masterclass
Search up 'new masters academy' online course of this and more
*Mirrors...*
*_The smartphones of the Renaissance?_*
Love these form of art..
"Less is more"
Regardless of efforts to preserve older techniques, the outcome is always limited by the personal expression of each individual artist. And a good case can be made that the milieu in the Renaissance went far in making those creations possible. It is virtually impossible to pretend that such a mileu exists now, which is why 100% of such schools produce only second-tier results at best. And my personal belief is that avoiding the influence of John Singer Sargent would be a good first step, in favor of learning from much better past artists.
KpxUrz5745 what a bunch of rubbish. First there are many artists producing classical realism paintings as technically proficient as renaissance works. Second Sargent was easily one of the most influential and successful portrait painters in history. Any artist that endeavors to paint portraits in a realist style should study masters of that genre, Sargent is clearly among those.
KpxUrz5745 You are absolutely right, and let's not forget that the best painters in history were innovators. If Titian and Sargent were alive today they wouldn't paint the way they did centuries ago. Also, schools like Cecil's tend to spread a rigid and often false view of art history to promote their painting method. Not all they teach is bad but their rigidity and complete lack of imagination prevents students to find their own way and make serious progress - technique is not a neutral instrument.
Sorry but it’s no a classical 😬
