      Dude... "Personally, I have no idea how you can become a cannibal in just 12 days, but that's just me.". 🤨😡😫😵‍💫🫨🫢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮😨🤧🙁😡🤐🖕💥. Yeah, homie... That's just you. Also, that's all I needed to hear, but the way you say it with that smugness and naively flippant arrogance, the kind only afforded a far too comfortable, spoiled, disconnected, and embarrassingly inexperienced American soyboy... Have you ever skipped a meal?? 2 meals?? 2 day's worth of meals?? I'll wait... No?? Oh, really?? Dang, man, I would never have guessed... What about water then?? Have you ever worked your ass off doing something dusty, fast-paced, physically, cardiovascular intensive, exhausting, and non-stop from, say, 8 am go-time to, let's make it a short day so, ummmmm, let's say 7 pm and not only that, but had to do so without being afforded the supreme luxury and life saving simplicity of something as a nice, ice cold case of water?? Something to which someone such as yourself, the overly padded man child, would normally turn up your nose if it was anything lower in price and, to your perception, quality, as Voss or Perrier?? No? Seriously?? You mean to tell me I wouldn't find you out on the construction site humping hod, chucking brick tongs, mixing mortar, shouldering shingle packs up an extension ladder 3, 4 flights of steps to the roof?? Naaaaah.... Well, let me give you some inside baseball then... I have. I've also had the experience of sitting in the cafeteria in high school, a time when most kids are considered responsible if they remember all their books in the morning. Where kids are considered disciplined if they manage to have no missed days and no detention, I've sat in the cafeteria on Salisbury steak day watching everyone else get double trays, piled with all the fat cakes and sugar extras and, because of course, 2 chocolate milks, while I, lying to myself to convince myself that the soft boiled eggs and plain tuna straight from the can is the same as what I'm smelling. I've had to drop 15 pounds in 3 days to make weight or, you don't even want to know what or brings. I've also been so poor and hungry as a child I remember in around '92 riding in my father's work truck, a '76 Scottsdale which was such an old horse you could literally see the road through the floor, couldn't even sit near the door bc it doesn't shut well and if you put too much pressure on it you'll fall right out, and also, you don't even need a key bc the ignition is broken, this was before all his sacrifice and shame paid off by his company becoming successful, I remember being so damn hungry riding in that truck at 5 am every Sunday morning to go to the bread store because they'd throw out the shit they didn't sell that week and we'd gi dumpster dive for it but had to get there before either the employees came for work or the trash truck came to empty the dumpster. Most of the bread, bagels, plain rolls, etc were far too moldy to be ok for us to eat around it, but as long as there was just a little bit, just pinch that part off and continue. What we absolutely couldn't eat, we'd feed our chickens and ducks and rabbits because we didn't even have the money to buy proper animal feed. I knew better than to get attached to the animals though, let alone name them. Like a cute soft lil bunny, don't even think of calling him Bugs, for example, because come fall time, I'll be the one holding Bugs by his legs as my father jerks his skin off so we can make stew and gravy. Bad idea. So, pal, buddy, what I'm requesting, humbly, if I may be so bold, is that next time, before you go letting your bifurcated tongue slither out about a topic which may show your disgusting ignorance, perhaps consider the topic, huh?? Thanks. I thought I'd check out the channel, as a lover of art, especially the darkest vein, but somehow my stomach has gone sour on the video. What a pity. I might have liked your content. I guess we'll never know now...

    One detail thats haunted me for years about "Saturn Devouring his Son" was that it was painted directly on Goyas walls.
    He lived alone for the most part, so when he died and people went to check his home, they had no idea what it looked like.
    They didnt have flashlights, so they went in with candles cause it was so dark.
    In the darkness, with only tiny flames to lead the way, they came face to face with all the terrifying things Goya had painted. Including Saturn.
    Just imagining what it was like to be one of those people makes me shudder.

I dont find it really scary but a bit uncomfortable-makes me feel weird thinking how long those prints have lasted and that the people who made them are gone forever

    35:48 ik u probably left the painting unexplained for a suspenseful effect, but this painting does have a meaning behind it. It was made during the reign of Augusto Pinochet, the former president of Chile. He was a very brutal dictator that killed, tortured, and exiles anyone who spoke put against him or even opposed any of his opinions. It makes much more sense when you look at the history, you realize that Guayasmin is painting himself and how he (and so many others) forced themselves to be silent in fear of death.

    if Caravaggio's Judith beheading Holofernes is disturbing... Then oh boyy Artemisia's version of Judith beheading Holofernes must be in this ice berg. Not only because of how realistic and savage the beheading looks compared to Caravaggio's version, the interpretation combined with Artemisia's personal story brings this piece so much depth, making the piece much more meaningful and quite disturbing.

And the blood is also lokking tad bit unrealistic. It's like a painting shown in a fairytale. But Artemisia's? She gets into the nitty gritty postures of someone who is using her strength to cut through Holofernes throat and both the women are shown as badasses, the blood is shown seeping through the sheets, it's gory it's bloody, and feels like it is a actual portrait drawn during that moment. Yup pretty sure Artemisia's was the one in the iceberg.

      I like both for different reasons. Gentilesci's version is more dynamic and Judith is really putting effort into the murder, but I find Holofernes' face in the Caravaggio version more effective. He looks like the blood vessels in his eyes are about to rupture.

    I'd also recommend the work of Yuko Tatsushima. She creates unnerving and gory illustrations mostly themed around sexual assault, mental illness, and the atomic bombing of Japan. Her most famous work translates to "I cannot be a bride anymore", you've likely seen it online before. I can't find a good source but it's often captioned as being a self-portrait after a sexual assault.

    That cyclops painting is actually, dare I say, anatomically accurate. Most cases of cyclopia in animals result in a complete deletion of the nose and protruding lips. The only thing it’s really missing is a proboscis, a sort of fleshy tube above the eye common in cases of human cyclopia, that is basically the deformed remains of what would be the nose. Redon must of done his research, either reading through scientific papers or visiting cabinets of curiosities.

    I suspect that the Rain Woman gives off that vibe of presence because it has the same form as the “Hat Man” archetype that comes from sleep paralysis and hallucinations. For some reason, hat man is deeply imbued into our psyche for some reason, so deep down when we invite a painting like Rain Woman into our house, even if at first unsuspecting with her mask-like face, the archetype is still there to unconsciously haunt us.

    19:21 we just finished learning about this one in art history. The Medusa was a slave ship, and the ship didn’t have enough rafts for everyone. But they had just enough rafts for the captain and the crew. While the boat was sinking, the carpenter hastily made a makeshift raft for the 100+ slaves to float on. They were pretty much piled on top of a piece of floating debris. Each raft was linked together by rope, but the slave raft was slowing them down, so the captain decided to cut the rope on the slave’s raft, leaving them to float out and fend for themselves. That’s why they resorted to cannibalism. I think less than ten of those slaves survived? And the captain of the ship barely got much of a punishment, and people were furious about this. It was a really big news story at the time.

    • @LilyLewis771
      @LilyLewis771 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      The Medusa was not a slave ship and was not carrying a large amount of slaves (I don’t want to say any slaves, but I didn’t see any mentioned in my reading). It was built during the Napoleonic wars (Napoleon actually banned the slave trade during his rule) as a frigate and then sent to Senegal on its last voyage- there was an illegal slave trade in Senegal, but this ship was sent to re-establish the colony;
      “On 17 June 1816, a convoy under the command of Hugues Duroy de Chaumareys on Méduse departed Rochefort accompanied by the storeship Loire, the brig Argus and the corvette Écho to receive the British handover of the port of Saint-Louis in Senegal. Méduse, armed en flûte, carried many passengers, including the appointed French governor of Senegal, Colonel Julien-Désiré Schmaltz, his wife Reine Schmaltz, and his secretary, Joseph Jean-Baptiste Alexandre Griffon du Bellay. Méduse's complement totaled 400, including 160 crew plus a contingent of marine infantrymen intended to serve as the garrison of Saint-Louis.”
      While it’s possible there were some slaves and/or people of color aboard it was not a slave ship engaging in the slave trade when it sank.
      The painting does feature a black man at the forefront, which is likely commentary on the controversial slave trade in the French colonies.

    Also, going to morgues to look at human anatomy was and is a super common practice for artists looking to paint and study correct human anatomy. Michelangelo famously went to morgues to study anatomy and sketch figures. Having full reign and unrestricted view of the human body is a very useful way to study intimately with the motionless body in contrast to living, moving models or secondary drawings in books. Or maybe the artist was just obsessed with painting dismembered body parts because it looked cool. Either way awesome paintings

    In my town in Spain there is a square with copies of Goya's paintings in it, Saturn devouring his son is one of them and many straight up think that his "dark paintings" were made because in his last days he was getting crazier and crazier, the original dark paintings were painted in the walls and ceilings of his house

      That's what I've heard and believe too. It's almost like he was trying to get hallucinated visions out of his head by making them "real". Or maybe that the paintings were his way of telling himself that he's a monster and unfit to live.

    It's crazy how influential that urban legend about The Hands Resist Him is. Like to the point where I recently tried out Scratches: Directors Cut and was genuinely surprised to see the painting in the in-game house. The game came out about 6 years after the eBay listing.

    HOOOOOLY DUDE I LITERALLY JUST SPENT LIKE AN HOUR TRYING TO FIND I AND THE VILLAGE, I LITERALLY JUMPED WHEN IT POPPED UP. My parents used to have a massive print of it framed and hung up on the wall, and for some reason I was really enamored with it as a kid. For the longest time I didn’t have the same love of art that I do now, though, and since there wasn’t a title or anything on it, I had no idea what it was called so I couldn’t find it again. Thank you for indirectly solving this tiny mystery of mine!! It’s still one of my favorite paintings, and my weird conspiracy story of a meaning behind it has always been that the man with the scythe either murdered the woman he’s with, who is also the woman milking the cow, or somehow turned the woman into the large cow and that he’s also the green man. I have no idea why that was the story I decided it was about as like a ten year old, but it still has a really special place in my heart :)

They had to call the ambulance and everything lol.

I never really thought of his paintings as disturbing, but perhaps the one showcased here has a history that might warrant it such a title, of “disturbing”. I do recommend checking out more of his works. I enjoy the way he draws faces, especially… his compositions… the colors are always interesting, too. Have a good day!

    This is an awesome video! Super informative and just the right amount of scary!
    Since people who watch this video are probably interested in interesting art facts, I want to share one I learned from my AP art history class haha.
    Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? by Paul Gauguin is another painting that I find pretty disturbing. Despite the bright colors, the story is fairly dark. The painting shows a progression through life starting with birth and ending with death. Many historians believe that the piece was originally meant to be a suicide note, however, the artist didn't end up committing. It is also believed that the work has a connection to the emotions he felt over the death of his daughter.
    I think the piece is beautiful but it definitely feels haunted by grief and sadness.
    (Loosely related fun fact! Gauguin worked a lot with Vincent Van Gogh and some people believe that he was tied to the loss of Van Gogh's ear.)

  • @mochalien217

    Just letting you know, the Medusa by Caravaggio is so ‘’shocking’ for most because of his background, he was meant to die by beheading due to having murdered someone and fled, that’s why a lot of his paintings have decapitated heads and even one with his own head decapitated (one od them being the Medusa’s)
