This is a wonderfully presented work of art, so woven into historical Sienna and the complexities of its times. The wine and biscuit combination is delightful, and a sampling would be I’m sure a pure delight. That this artist was central to your PHD dissertation makes perfect sense in your knowledgeable and gentle handling of this beautiful bronze. Many thanks.💐
An interesting point was made in the presentation of challenge that artists have faced in trying to represent theological and religious mysteries in a visually comprehensible way. It is a telling fact of the level of success of the artist and his position in the community that he was able to finance and decorate his own chantry chapel given the huge cost involved. Giambologna was able to do the same later at Santissima Annunziata in Florence and Rubens at the Jakobskirche in Antwerp.
How interesting, how beautiful. Love to know about the history of how words came into the vocabularly as I was thinking how confusing it would be for a potential patron to be faced with a 'painting' when it was really a 'sculpture'! This curator is the first to express pleasure with his cocktail which is a treat and did anyone else think the drink and biscuit was a metaphor for the Bread and Wine? Thank you GD.
What makes these lecturers...Xavier, Aimee and Giulio alike...irresistible is their Socratic presentation. The curators are not professors reading a script to a classroom of students (patrons), they are tutors speaking (seemingly) one-on-one to each individual student from their own personal knowledge. Giulio’s hand brushing of his hair only adds to the feeling of individuality and spontaneity in each presentation.
Thank you for your insight into this work, especially the difficulty of depicting a theological concept. . I very much look forward to seeing this work again at Frick Madison, with this additional information.
This is my favorite TH-cam series, and I think this video has been my favorite so far: extremely interesting, well-paced, and well-presented. It makes me want to know more. Thank you very much!
Very interesting, thank you, Giulio. According to my basic Italian, 'Vecchietta' means 'little old lady' - is this correct, and if so, does anyone know how he obtained this unusual epithet?
Thank you about Veccietas resurection work from Siena and the exhibition landed in New York Fricks collection.It must bee worth to visit altogethet with all capolavoroes and feel the gratitude for God the salvation.
Thanks to Dr. Dalvit for sharing his insights on how Vecchietta embodied the meaning of the resurrection in his specific artistic decisions. The Frick's commitment to bronzes, through its exhibitions and now the dedicated gallery at Frick Madison, is very welcome--these great works of art are too often overlooked.
Fascinating as always. Thank you for pointing out the fact the the idea, or word for, Artist, was not around at the time, and Vecchietta's "workaround" to be seen as both a painter and a sculptor.... or an artist. Margaret
I enjoy watching various members of the staff develop their own style and presentation personalities. In this case, more confidence and poise is noted with each episode. My favorite personal touch is the periodic hair swipe! A thoughtful and informative episode. Thank you.
Thank you so much To you... Very interinsting Beautiful... ... bronze... As Art ..Wonderful... As Siena i know i visited each town from Italia !, So I love Art 😍💖👏🎨🌐🔉💖
Thank you telling and showing me Viccetas releifs in Sienna where very long time ago l shortly saw the beautiful chathedral .Your Fricks collection must bee happy to have this capolavoro about resurection.Byby
What an interesting presentation. Your knowledge and enjoyment of your subject is clear and I was engrossed in the topic of bronze 'paintings' in Siena. It was so lovely to see images of Siena, a place I have spent many happy hours, to hear the snap of cantucci biscuits and to imagine the taste of a good vin santo. Thank you

Yes! Very appropriate. And the wine used at Communion is usually a sweet wine.

Beautiful! Thank god my "low battery" warning came quite near the end! I love these art/culture salons! Keep up the good work! 👍❤
Clearly you're finding your groove. Good job.

Very interesting, thank you, Giulio. According to my basic Italian, 'Vecchietta' means 'little old lady' - is this correct, and if so, does anyone know how he obtained this unusual epithet?
Yes, your translation is correct, Vecchietta means "dear little old lady " in italian, but I don' t know the reason of this name.
Thank you about Veccietas resurection work from Siena and the exhibition landed in New York Fricks collection.It must bee worth to visit altogethet with all capolavoroes and feel the gratitude for God the salvation.
To reduce a PhD subject to 20 minutes is quite something. Loved learning from it, swept along by the accent and emphasis in Giulio's voice

Excellent!
Enjoyed, you have a high bar with S and A.

Thank you Giulio. Un saluto da Roma

we are indeed to be lucky to have the word "art" in our vocabulary. Cannot wait to visit The Frick in person soon to see all these great works!
