your videos are great. I am and architecture student and this is like an architecture orgasm how you speak about the ornaments and forms of the buildings in your whole videos series. thank you for this beautiful content free here on youtube
That was really marvelous! I'd always wondered at this staircase's importance. Why? You answered it for me in spades, and I no longer wonder. Now I'm wonderstruck. Thank you!
You guys never cease to surprise me with your subject matter. A staircase is a new one, lol. Your commentary: The pilasters speak to his virtuosity, etc.. Michelangelo: Eh... looks kinda boring, maybe I'll throw in some pretty pilasters. lol. Ya never know.
these are great snippets of art explained...I have a small quibble: I have always heard clerestory pronounced cler-es-tory, and in all of these I have seen, you pronounce it clear-story...have I and all those others who say that word the first way, been wrong?

The tapered columns remind me of the Minoan style, which are tapered downward.

It is pronounced clear-story, not cell-es-story or cler-es-tory. Have a look in any reputable dictionary.
@@smarthistory-art-history I did and yer right...
describe a reputable dictionary
Is it has subtitle?!
Yes, to find the subtitles, click the gear icon that says HD, then click subtitles.
wow, thank you so much
Your subtitles politics are strange... So, no offense, but there are subtitles in Korean, Ukranian and Czech, but no German, French or Spanish?
