I really enjoyed your academic review of the painting "El Velorio" by Francisco Oller. This video enhanced my understanding of the work. I find it to be a beautiful work of art. I enjoy how he combined different styles of painting he studied in Europe in the work which serve to emphasize many of the items in the painting. A baquiné (the wake for a child) would be a festive and raucous occasion of high importance to a local community. Roasting a pig, while a daily occurrence today, would only be done at very special occasions in the past such as to celebrate Christmas. While the lines of the painting draw your eyes in many directions, Oller made sure your eyes would be drawn to the roasted pig to highlight this importance. One comment is not accurate. Puerto Rico was under a letter of autonomy from Spain since 25 November 1897. The US invaded Puerto Rico on 25 July in 1898 and conquered it by military force in August under the false claim that Spain sank the USS MAINE. This is hardly "Puerto Rico seceded from Spain and the U.S. took over in 1898."

The guy with the “machete” is Francisco oller. He did paint his own self in the art.
Thank you for sharing!

Ok. Where did this narrator come from? It sounds artificial and is frankly unlistenable.
