When I lived in London I visited Kenwood House every weekend to admire the artworks you mention here and to take a coffee in the garden. Thanks for taking me back!
You could do a series on Great Art Patrons Explained as well. Medici, Royalty, and Guggenheim, many others. It would really tie in a lot of artists and locations.
I'm always impressed with the production value not to mention the information and Mr. Payne's grasp of the material. I'm a patreon and I love this channel.
This is the second video I watch after Paris and I am overwhelmed by how great they are. They make the viewers better persons, they teach so much. Thank you cert very much.
This channel is probably the richest and the most valuable one on TH-cam! I cant thank you enough for bringing out such priceless pieces of knowledge into light!
I finally travelled to London, and I visited the Soane Museum. "A rake's progress" is available for 10 minutes every day at 2 PM. It's magical, but Hogarth's "Humours of an Election" is sublime (you have more time to admire the details). Worth the visit 100%
I'm so overflown with emotions upon finishing watching this. Sir, your interpretation is exquisite. Your videos are a form of philanthropy themselves; without them, I would never be elevated and stumble into the beauty of the art world as a layman. Good fortune to you!
I never was much one for "great art", not being exposed to it much during my youth...and I probably will never travel to see any of these galleries or paintings in person...but I come away from your wonderful videos feeling enriched and satisfied that I have had the opportunity to "see" such works. Better yet, in the privacy of my own room without the crowds jostling me for position or the expenses involved. Thank you once again for an excellent piece that brings such beauty to my humble abode.
I have recently discovered your a great art series. When I was in my teens every Saturday morning I would bid my parents a farewell and take the Subway to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was one of the most incredible art experiences of my life and have visited dozens of Museum since then in U.S. and Europe. Thank you for reminding us how important art is to all of us.
Wonderful expansion of the channel. Can’t wait for my town NYC to be featured. Studied abroad in London and this episode is such a reminder of what I love about the art in that city. Bravo.
Good grief - the dozens of times I have been for walks on Hampstead Heath and walked right past Kenwood House never knowing it was full of incredible paintings- I could kick myself! Also, I visited the Soane back in the 1990s when studying in London. It is so memorable and wonderful that last year I took my family to see it. However, I had no idea that The Rakes Progress paintings were housed inside. Finally, the Wallace collection- that will be next on my places to visit when I next go to London. Superb video, as always!
I had the pleasure of already visiting Sir John Soane's Museum before watching this, and now I can't wait to pay a visit to the other two galleries of the video, thank you once again James and Joanne :)
I loved this, it's insane how informative it can be, touching on what's important while still captivating people with no previous knowledge on art education I'd love to see more on other art houses, maybe more on art collectors or the medici family, florence This channel is a real gem keep it up
Santa Fe, New Mexico has several small museums and galleries with excellent collections within perfect buildings. Three days was not enough for us as art lovers and artists. Very much appreciate your work and channel. Thank you!
I've learned more watching your channel than I did in my western art class in college. I've enjoyed every video you've produced. I'm looking forward to your video on Vermeer.
Thank you. I plan to visit London on Monday & Tuesday if the tube strikes are over, and you’ve inspired me to visit (and revisit) these great collections.
I have been to the Soane's Museum in London and it is amazing. What an eclectic collection. I was amazed at the art and Seti's Sarcophagus. I plan to go back and look in more detail.
Just had this channel show up in my recommended and I can't get enough. This is maybe my favorite video so far and I hope there are more cities videos to come!
Your videos are very educative & gripping .. I watch each one fully, with never a thought of skipping crossing my mind, sometimes more than once.. thank you 🙏🏻.
I’ve benefited immensely from your outstanding “Great Art Explained” series. This new one is just as enjoyable, informative and as always, perfectly produced. I’ll be seeking out London’s lesser known galleries when I visit as a result.
These are just so wonderful. I feel nourished when I watch them. I am so grateful to you. There is so much work involved in making them. Please know that these light up my day. Thank you!
Thank you James Payne for your interesting storytelling of the masterpieces you introduce to us, I found it interesting to follow you in your conversation. Thank you for your work!
A splendid debut video for the series! I didn’t know what to expect, really, but I certainly could not expect an examination of those three art collections about which I knew absolutely nothing. Thanks so much, James and Joanne!
Spectacular!! Already loving this series. I’ve never heard of Canaletto and A Rake's Progress, and was quite intrigued :D I think showing the work collectively in this manner is very efficient in gaining insights while also switches things up from the original Great Art Explained series!
Thanks so much for introducing Canaletto's paintings at the Wallace collection in this VDO. I have never heard of this artist before. His paintings are really exquisite.
Thank you so much for this video! I was actually visiting London last week, so after watching this I went to see the Wallace Collection. It was fantastic and I wouldn't have known about it if not for this video.
Great that you found the video interesting and useful. Our idea was to let people know about lesser known museums and highlights within. The Wallace collection is wonderful.
This is a great discovery. I am so happy to have found it. It’s pure pleasure to be able to understand these works of art in a way that would never have occurred to me, though I knew my sensibilities were being highly entertained. Your explanations are perfection; not too much just enough ,but packed with information.thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Please do more videos like this one! I loved this, I loved hearing the story behind how collections and museums came to be and there are so many in London that could be explored. I find the story of Samuel Courtauld and his own collection and his contributions to the National Gallery really interesting.
Next year, I will be taking my grandson on a trip to London and (because of this video) found that The Wallace Collection has family (kid) themed introductory material. I am so excited to send it to him to get him intrigued by the art he will see. I love your channel! I didnt know anything of art until my late 40s and took art history classes in my 50s and love learning!
I'm planning my next vacation based on the galleries/paintings I've learned about in these videos. You make understanding/appreciating art so accessible.
Yet another amazing video James, thank you 😊. Inspired us to go visit Kenwood house today. Great to have an insight into the house and its art. Thanks.
Oh my god! The content of your channel is amazing but can we take a moment to appreciate the editing? Your effort in highlighting the subject you’re talking about & finding just the right music for the artworks. Chapeau!
Brilliant. Entertaining instructive fun. Love the narration throughout, especially the commentary at the end; and as always in this great series, your presentation of the works is the film is rich, detailed, delightful. Do what you want, James. Thanks.
Thank you James and Jo this is a terrific new series and I enjoyed the first film thoroughly and feel that there or so many wonderful things you can explore with the Great Art Cities Explained platform. It is also very well written and presented too.
I came across the Wallace Collection as I was walking around my workplace in central London. It trully is a great place, who impresses even those not so art-enthused. I was very happy to see it featured on this channel. Sir Joan Soane Museum is the next one on my London art bucket list
Indeed-this superb video gives us art lovers a glimpse into “the fascinating stories” behind these lesser known galleries, these patrons of the art, their art collection, and the legacy they made by bequeathing their art collection as a trust, as a lasting legacy to benefit culture by promoting the appreciation of art by the public at large. Couldn’t help but admire the story revealed here of William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, who is not only wealthy and privileged but is also a distinguished jurist, highly cultured and possessed an acute moral and social conscience by supporting the long struggle for the abolition of slavery in the British empire. Excellent analysis of the pieces by Vermeer, Hals, Rembrandt and more. Looking forward to these series. Many thanks for sharing your masterful knowledge and deep appreciation of art. It enriches the spirit.
I absolutely love all of your videos. I don't know a lot about art but I like to appreciate it and know stories behind them. All of it fascinates me a lot!
I love this channel so much, it's an art channel but the way the paintings take to a period of history is what keeps me binging these. I hope you keep doing renaissance art, love it so much
“Art should enrich the soul, not the bank balance”, love it

I never realised just how much you can learn about people or cities just from art. This channel truly is a gift to us all.
Well said! This channel has completely changed my view/opinion on art!
When I lived in London I visited Kenwood House every weekend to admire the artworks you mention here and to take a coffee in the garden. Thanks for taking me back!
You could do a series on Great Art Patrons Explained as well. Medici, Royalty, and Guggenheim, many others. It would really tie in a lot of artists and locations.
Yes! and Barnes and Theo Van Gogh. I really like this idea :)
Excellent idea!

And don't forget American emigree Gertrude Stein in Paris who fostered the local painters.

Anything to help this amazing channel! 😊✨✨✨

This one almost made me cry at the end. Love this channel so much, thank you.
To see further little known art museum collections would be a privilege. Please bless us by sharing more of your Great Art Explained series.
The selection of music pieces for your videos is astounding!
Keep it up!

Wonderful expansion of the channel. Can’t wait for my town NYC to be featured. Studied abroad in London and this episode is such a reminder of what I love about the art in that city. Bravo.
The way you bring our attention to details like the cascading light or buzzing guitar string is incredible.

This channel is great. Thanks for another video
Love these videos. They should be shown in schools as they're very informative and pack in so much within the time frame.
The combination of quality & passion poured into these videos is staggering. Thank you for this beautiful channel.
This is a comment to help The Algorithm find this video. Thanks James!
Thanks 🙏
This channel is progressively expanding my mind. One of my favourite on YT. Thank you so much sir
Your series videos are of the highest quality. Please keep producing them. I'd love to watch more "less famous museums" series.

Thank you for another great video. Your channel is the only one I watch without a fail every single time!
That was great I used to hang out at the Wallace collection years ago, thank you for the stories!
I have no requests for specific galleries etc, just that you continue to provide such fantastic content. Genuinely appreciated.

Wow. Just wow. How is this show not on Netflix? Your narration, the editing, the sound design. Love it all. 😀 and you are awesome.
Wonderful! This is a very good introduction to three of London's treasured collections. They are free to all.

Nowadays, when journeys are limited, it is wonderful to see such great pieces of art on your channel. Thank you:). Greetings from Poland😊
So much to see in this video❤️ one of my favorites so far, it felt like I got to go to the museums in a small way
Superb episode - as usual :)
All your art podcasts are top-notch and your channel is my favourite one on YT.
Spectacular!! Already loving this series. I’ve never heard of Canaletto and A Rake's Progress, and was quite intrigued :D I think showing the work collectively in this manner is very efficient in gaining insights while also switches things up from the original Great Art Explained series!
Words cannot express how much I love this channel. Thank you. Just…thank you.
Thanks 🙏
Great choice of subjects, thanks for going into detail about people like Caneletto.
This series is so amazing. I really enjoy watching them, and I feel smarter after viewing.
Thanks so much for introducing Canaletto's paintings at the Wallace collection in this VDO. I have never heard of this artist before. His paintings are really exquisite.
I love that the videos are still about the art at the centre. Thanks for the video!
Brilliant as always! Well done James and Joanne!
