What a incredible painting of Gonzalès! I was introduced to this artist now, through this video, and I feel exactly the same as the Curator Sarah Herring about how Gonzalès sister is just looking at herself in the mirror, very different from other paintings, where there is this sensuality and self self-contemplation. I really love to hear Sarah Herring talking. Thank you.
Fabulous! I'm quite a fan of Gonzalès (The Awakening is probably my favorite by her). I've never seen this painting that you've acquired so that's an additional plus (I'm guessing it was from a private collection); and, I'm also glad you (Sarah Herring!) reminded folks that neither she nor Manet were truly Impressionists (this is something that has become rather blurred in recent years). Excellent presentation of an engaging painter and painting. Thank you.
Thanks a lot. Considering I have no posibility to visit the National Gallery, this videos is the only way to familiar with world masterpieces, especially with such professional hosts :)
Loved the video ❤ Quick question to anyone who might know, what is the painting to the left of Eva’s? I only saw it in passing and would love to look it up. Thanks 🙏
Hi Abigail, thanks for watching! The painting on the left is a portrait of Princess Pauline de Metternich by Degas: www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/hilaire-germain-edgar-degas-princess-pauline-de-metternich
A totally new artist and painting to me. It's interesting that the title was 'La Psyché', not directing us to the model. The mirror is a 'Full-length Mirror' for her, but not for us looking from our shallower angle. She (if 'she' were alive and not painted) could see her feet in the mirror, for us she just floats, and we also have the truncated reflection of her with another (doubled) visual gap below. In its reticence, it becomes a portrait of the thing that can never be see, the psyche, the soul.

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
i'm quite glad that the National, and other public galleries are
finding and exhibiting more works created by women artists,
both past and present.

I love learning about women artists because they have been overlooked for so long
