This is fantastic.

Wow!! So beautiful and thank you for sharing all this wealth of information

Wonderful lecture on such beautiful art 🖼 Very well presented 🎋 Thank you for sharing with us 🌺

Your KZread Channel is simply awesome! My understanding of art is elevated and I'm now able to appreciate it from an entirely different perspective. Being empowered to savour the breathtaking beauty of Caravaggio at a whole different level. The history and details, add substance and meaning to it all. It's presented with simple clarity that's palatable for simple folk like myself. Thank you very much...

Is not ‘he’ , is SHE, a super talented baroque painter, please, you have to know her. Art History is not fair... !

This was excellent and so informative. I will be watching as many of these lectures as I can.

Great lecture. Excellent presentation.

OMG! Thank You for getting out wonderful information in an hour that took my Art History professor 3 months! I definitely wouldn’t have failed his class😕

Breathtaking... I know virtually nothing about art and painting but this Caravaggio cat is... breathtaking...

Excellent talk. Thank you.

amazing video, thank you guys

Excellent work and presentation!!!!! Bravo!

Excellent Presentation.. thank you for posting.

My all time favourite painter 😊

It is very strange that he 3:37 says " the proportions isn't very convincing.."

excellent.

I have just read in a book about the significance of composition in emphasising ideas in paintings, and the use of light and shadows for telling the painters opinion on the subject. Would be nice to have such conferences about the elements of some of Caravaggio”s most interesting paintings. Thank you.

I was in Naples and saw the Seven Acts of Mercy. The guide, a young and very charming woman explained to us where on the painting each mercy was placed. I noticed that they were placed ( according to their importance) in a cross. And I remembered that the cross is our salvation.

i miss getting to go here whenever i wanted.

The Proportions are wrong in those paintings because they are supposed to be viewed from below. Notice the horse in the painting at 2:10 and then notice it at 6:00 when it's viewed from a different perspective. The man appears bigger and the horse smaller. This was intentional because he knew how the paintings were going to be viewed. This dude should have mentioned this as it is really well known in the art world.

People laughing at the Goliath painting!! Come on.

His character and personality mad his life a difficult one

I'm not sure that Caravaggio planned to kill his tennis opponent: it seems more like a monetary passion.

Would have preferred to see the paintings in closer detail, rather than seeing the speaker sharing the screen....

I think this is a very delightful and informative lecture; nevertheless, an art historian is not an exegete. Matthew is not the first gospel; however, by popular theory Mark is the first gospel. To appeal to all objective historians, one must try to be as historically and systematically accurate.

Malta is not in the middle of nowhere

In a book written by Paul Guth, the French academician, “Le naif aux 40 enfants”, he explains, to some 40 teenagers, how Phedra ends up by seducing Hypolite. Following his example and using my own words, I will try to explain what I understand of the Conversion of Paul. The horse is the animal that couples once in a lifetime, it is, as Catherine Hepburn says in a memorable film's scene, the most trustful and loyal animal. So, the horse is something we can thing of personifying loyalty and trust. The person that guides it could be God. I would say his forehead, the fact we can see only His Head, where the plan of His creation dowels, and His hands, the utensils He used to create it, make us believe the old man is God, or maybe Caravaggio himself, since he is an artist. Paul, not yet a saint, lays down on the earth, terrified of the closeness to this earth which will engulf him. He raised his arms to the horse that can carry him to Heaven only if he keeps looking in the eyes of the man we think is God. The horse's eyes are looking into Paul's eyes, to see if the trust is established, for the conversion to take place.

53:33 "or the sort of isolated beleaguered genius of Van Go". (shakes head) There is both a 'G' and an 'H' at the end of Vincent's name that are neither invisible nor silent. One would think that a connoisseur of Mr. Ilchman's stature, who has such perfect pronunciation of Italian, would get that right. ;-p Otherwise, an extraordinary lecture on Caravaggio. Anyone who enjoyed this, would VERY much enjoy Simon Schama's 'Power of Art' documentary on Carravaggio as well.

Many names are anglicized.Titian is actually Tiziano, Louve is actually Louvre, etc. It's just colloquialism at work...Van Go is the accepted pronunciation in the English speaking world.

@@holeymattress8128 Not in England it isn't. 'Van Go' is purely American English. The accepted pronunciation, or at least the most common one in colloquial use in England, is either "van Goff", or less commonly, "van G-och", a slightly subdued ending which sounds more like the German "hoch" but with a G.

何でこんな偉大な巨匠を知らなかったのだろう‼　最近知ったばかりで、私が学んだ教科書や参考書には Caravaggio の名前は全くなかった。知識・教養偏重の日本教育に矛盾を感じる。
