Amazing painting and wonderful how much detail Waldemar can pack into a 10 minute vid! I can't help but notice, watching this after viewing many other films of his recently, that he's been routinely challenging the National Gallery's interpretation of art for many years. It's a wonder they still let him in!
Hi, as I am unable to see the painting close up I was wondering if you could answer a question for me? Copernicus's face appears in close ups to have an underlying cross hatch pattern visible. I am interested to know if this is the linen / canvas weave showing through or an interesting technique used by Matejko to achieve a sense of depth. Cheers
Exactly this. This is Matejko's "signature" trick to use a thick canvas hatch to improve depth illusion by adding various amounts of oil color. Anyway, I recommend You to see some of his works in person if You will have a chance. I'm not a big fan of realism but his technique is on a high level.
Amazing painting. Jan Matejko, the best!
Always enjoyable, a bit of history and lovely art as well...

Great video. Thanks. Plus beautiful background music.
Gotta do it lmao
Thank you so much for this. Utterly Brilliant 🙌🙌🙌
My favorite part of all of these is when Waldemar says, "...but I don't think that's right." Always entertaining to hear his interpretations.
Waldi bardzo dziękuję Tobie za piękne opowieści o Polskiej Kulturze , pokazane bardzo profesjonalnie z wielką pasją. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam
Waldy, you need to do a longer video about Polish art.
I love his maps on the floor or ground... brilliant art insights.
Brilliant. Thank you so much.
This is one of the most moving films WJ has made. Long live Poland!
Thank you very much for a great video! From Polish part of my soul, especially.
God is on Waldemar's side too! And Chopin's.
For anyone wondering the piece played at the beginning is Heroic Polonaise by Chopin
Love to see the whole series of polish art history with you mr. Waldemar. Can give you the soundtrack ;)
Show!
I love you Waldy!! xoxo
😍😍😍
