Had the privilege to share an office with Emma Capron for a couple of months when I was an intern at the Frick Collection in New York... she’s the nicest, sweetest, most brilliant woman. Emma, je suis ravi de voir les fruits de tes efforts et de ton intelligence. Bravo. ✨

It's so astonishing and impressive that Ms. Capron can convey so much information in such a short period, and her lively enthusiasm is certainly contagious.

I love these talks, they are very informative and help us discover works from the collection from home. Keep them coming :)

Because you cannot think with your own brain. Enjoy them telling you how to think.

Informative as always. The obvious enthusiasm of the presenter for the art work was a quite enjoyable aspect of the presentation

I've always been drawn to the dark and Gothic in art but Bosch always disturbed me. learning about the artist is interesting and thank you so much for these videos

Fascinating. Thank you for the informative and clear video.

I love Ms. Capron’s eloquence in her presentations. They are a great way to give occasional art patrons more insight. Hope to see more of these from The National Gallery.

Brilliant! I'm excited to watch this, as that is probably my favourite painting in the entire National Gallery, by one of my favourite artists (my all time favourite is either Bosch or Bruegel). Thanks, more like this please!

I love these videos. The oak leaf is the insignia of a colonel in many militaries....

Lovely knowledgeable presenter. These videos are such a treat. Thank you National Gallery. ❤️

I was very fortunate to visit the large exhibition that was held in Den Bosch in the autumn of 1967. Un unforgettable experience.

Thanks very much Emma, I really enjoyed this and I always learn quite a lot from these wonderful productions.♥️

Thank you Emma. I have watched this a few times because of your great explanation & presentation. Can you do more?

Thank you very much Emma. Many points of interest in a mere ten minutes.

Wonderful, informative lecture on one of my favorite painters. Thank you!

A very informative and enjoyable talk. Thank you.

Excellent analysis. Thank you.

Thank you for this excellent presentation

Thank you, very interesting and informative. Happy Easter.

Thanks so much for watching :)

Fantastic video, so informative! Thank you!!

Wonderful content! More like this, please!

Oh how marvellous, such knowledge, insight and eloquence. From an oldie, this convinces me that humanity has a future.

Very interesting, engaging, and thought provoking. 👍👍👍👍. Excellent. Thank you!

I’m a fan of Bosch. Very interesting study indeed!

Super! Thank you.

Well done!...Amazing

These are great, and really enjoyed the presenter. Bravo 👏

Ive been fascinated by his work for years. 🥰

So nice.. liked your video.Thank you 👏👏👏

Wonderful!

That was great thank you

very interesting, thank you.

The intimacy of that space, the way that in it's accented depth it is pressed and about to unfold from the picture surface.

This painting is among my top 10.

Fascinating.

your shirt print looks nice.

Great speaker.

"Prognate" is a new word for me.... what's it mean? Edit: looked it up. Means he had an underbite/overbite.

If you view the piece from a distance and connect the eye lines of the tormentors top left to bottom right, and top right to bottom left, they form a rough cross shape across the figure of Christ. This sort of diagonal cross shape is ubiquitous in art depicting the final moments before crucifixion, so I have to wonder if it was a purposeful part of the composition. As the shape is formed by their eye lines, perhaps it implies something to the effect of them looking forward to Christ's torment and death upon the cross.

excellent. Going forward can TNG buy a 4K camera and upload these videos in 4K, as these will look spectacular on UHD TVs. Thanks

What is the painting of Christ opposite the Christ mocked painting?

❤️ Emma, Thank you, I love your insight into this artist. For me ; The man top right looks sympathetic, inspite of his dog collar. The man bottom right is clutching His, robes.Pertinence The man bottom left is covering the under belly area, with one hand, and in the other holds a staff. The meaning of which is not certain. The man top left, whom has already been shot at; in a bid by other men too stop his purpose, looks only to happy to apply a much exaggerated painful crown. All proving through the eyes of artists even back then, and true to the word, that God doesn’t want anyone too suffer. There is only one, horrible one ,and he is already been shot through The rest are sympathetic too and feel sorry for the subject. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Some beliefs,may differ((no one can positively contradict.))) All the best , Keep up the good work. To all at our the national gallery on behalf of young artists and farmers, thank you,for this very good ten minutes. Henrycastle1

Evil has a human face. Well said thank you

Automa 🍂

Keep in mind this was painted before only a few years after Columbus discovered the Americas. a man ahead of his time

What’s the painting to Emma’s right? Not familiar with it

It's a sad day when censorship for political correctness finds it way into Human Sciences. Especially when attempting to disclose knowledge to the general public. I'm no specialist but if I am not very much mistaken the two lower figures represent the unbelievers, here as a Turk and a Jew. In saying that I mean no disrespect to either religion, nationality or descent . This was the idiom of the day at that time.If I am wrong about this, please, accept my apologies.

thank you. 😏

Shes lovely

Thank you. I am learning so much between chores in South Florida. "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". They rejoiced that while "the wages of sin is death, the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord". ( Romans chapter 3 and 10 by St. Paul. How we need Him ( and He is risen, there were 500 + contemporary witnesses and immediate written reports) today, as well !

Thanks Emma. Just a note: Christ was betrayed by Judas...Not by Jesus.

It is her pronunciation of the word Judas and the unfortunate Google translator.

Ha - well, I guess if I was being facetious, I could argue that in a sense Christ was betrayed by Jesus, if we're going with the theological position that Christ, the Holy Spirit and God are all aspects of one being. Given that God let Jesus get nailed to a cross, that's a betrayal of sorts? But yeah, tenuous argument on my part. ;)

Just came across this. First thing I noticed was the Christ/Jesus rather than Judas thing. I was so surprised it didn't come up right away as the #1 thing in the comments!

This was great, but it would have been a bit better without the presenter moving so much

note the pale white christ
