The irony isn't lost on the fact she is wearing purple; up until recently the rarest and most expensive garment colour!

I want to be a curator school, but am a journalist, specifically arts journlalist and besides having to go to school to study it, I don't know how else to start.

Good luck! I would encourage you to contact the curator by a written letter to express your interest and ask about their steps to being able to do the work. It is always good to know people, and pick up tips from them. Good luck on your journey!

Wonderful. Thank you.

I loved it!!!

Fascinating

The series is awesome

Perhaps a little heavy on the blurry focus pulling close ups.

Gorgeous fabrics 😍👏👏🌼🌻🌺🌹

wow!!! thanks

Nice video! Amazing artworks! I remember reading somewhere how a building housing Henry VIII's wardrobe burned down and they collected kilos worth of gold from the ruins that had melted from his extravagant outfits. Been meaning to research whether that's true or I misremember.

How do they make the clothing look so REAL?

Awesome

did she say the Milan Cathedral? It is called the Duomo, btw

Так реалистично блеск и фактуру ткани отобразить это дофига делов....почти как магия))

Hmmm I would have liked to have known how the artists painted the gold colour without using gold leaf.

There are other videos on their channel that explain the different methods "Gold in Paintings" is the most explizit one 😊

Any number of ordinary yellow pigments would work fine as long as the painter portrayed the reflections accurately. Actual gold paint or gold leaf would change in appearance dramatically depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions, so wouldn't be a good fit for portraying gold as it would look within a painted scene.

None of these paintings employ gold leaf. In each case, the artist has simply mixed the colours available to him in oil paint- yellow black, red, orchre, green... and come up with a colour thatlooks like gold. The reflections o the surface of the gold are painted with flecks of while or creamish yellow. It is your brain that is telling you that it is gold. Balshazar's feast is particularly remarkable because Rembrandt has succeeded in rendering several different types of gold textile, such as gold brocade, and gold braid.... and they look entirely different. Then he also paints, within the same picture, golden goblets and other vessels. Real gold leaf would diminish the artist's ability to achieve these different textures. The place to see gold leaf employed is in the earlier parts of the Museum's collection. Among the late Medieaval and Early Renaissance paintings in the Sainsbury Wing are a number which use gold leaf. Some have gold backgrounds, and many more have fine details in gold. In all these cases, the reason for the use of gold is that the artworks are Altarpieces, and would be lit by candles. The gold would shine in the light.

Pretty much the same way there is gold on your video screen.

The Doge portrait is egg tempera and oil.

Too brief, was hoping for more detail, especially on techniques, hoping this was a teaser for a future video? 🤭

A very reasonoble thought.

"Je m'aime en or" était un beau slogan publicitaire

Rosalind McKever's quite dazzling, herself.

Any relation to Keira Knightely? See 0:54 for resemblance.

The writings on the wall bit can't be a warning in this case. It was painted after the fact so isn't as prophetic as is perhaps suggested here.

Interesting commentary, although given the brief time available it would have been helpful to focus more on the portraits and less on the commentator.

Keira Knightley lookalike:)

Often, when handling delicate objects, it is advised to not wear gloves at all. Though you are obviously expected to have clean hands, the theory is that you are less likely to cause any damage, as you are able to be more delicate, when you have an unobstructed use of your hands.
