Thank you very much! Hello from Canada!

This is super people. Love your lectures!!! Please keep at it

Great video! loved the content!

Love it

I was so glad to find a channel of actual art criticism/art history that was relatable AND Canadian. As much as I would like to give you five out of five stars.... A gentle criticism: your presentation is too shambolic to sound authoritative. It sounds like you are doing this off the top of your head, but that does you and the viewer a disservice, because too often you are caught searching for the right word or comparison only to come up with something like "great" or "big"... You're depriving us of your knowledge in its optimum form, and yourself of the respect you deserve. _You need to write down your presentation and rehearse it_. I'm subscribing and supporting your channel because I think it has enormous potential, and because of its inherent charm, but you can't continue to sound like an ill-prepared high school student doing a presentation they cobbled together the night before after a pub crawl. I say this, of course, with love.

If a high school student could crush a pub crawl then do a lecture like this I would be impressed to the max. Bro, it is off the top of her head, notes are for losers.

You've all got to start making these art videos again. These are great

thank you！

I suggest the woman at 34.34 is the same woman kneeling next to Anthony in the center panel. Notice she has no legs? She pretends to be Christian but has not 'bent the knee" at the alter. She is carried on a giant fish (the words of Jesus). They can fly - meaning she and her husband are wealthy (he's 'fat') and have the ability to travel (large wings). They are on a missionary journey to pour "burning coals" on the people. 21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. 22 For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you. (Proverbs 25:22) Angels can be seen throwing hot coals on the burning city in the center panel. The woman in pink is likely the one who commissioned the painting, earning her prominent places in the altarpiece. She, like Bosch, was a heretic. The entire piece is an anti-Christian sermon. Anthony is seeing his religion for what it really is; the wedding of Church and State. By the time this was painted, the Spanish Inquisition was burning thousands of people alive in the name of Jesus. Bosch loved Jesus, but hated the Church and mocks holy communion (the frog with the egg), the birth-stories of Jesus, and religious institutions (the 'tavern"). He is symbolically heaping hot coals on his enemy's head. I made a few videos, if you'd care to know more about my interpretation of Bosch's work.

Where are the knight and lance?

Bosch the boss

Can someone please explain the symbol on the bird's red cloak. It looks exactly like a freemason symbol but this is before they were founded allegedly. anyone know anything about that? Every analysis I see they just ignore that.

Dommage que je ne comprenne pas l'anglais !

Big fish stop eating little fish when the little fish form a union. 😁

I don’t mean to sound negative, but this talk should have been better prepared. “Where to start?” the speaker says repeatedly, suggesting “I know SO much about this art.” The speaker should *plan* this (where to start) beforehand. You can’t really wing it with an extremely packed, symbol-rich painting like this one. (Most symbols here are today anachronistic, but Bosch is Bosch!) There is some good info here, and the speaker is not unlikable, but I feel my time has been largely wasted. Speaker seems to not understand Christian-Catholic iconography or traditions (e.g., fish as Christian symbol, here mockery). These require some scholarship, and we mostly don’t get that here. This is I guess fine for middle schoolers, but scholarly this is not. Sorry.
