These talks are almost as precious as the masterpiece. Could have been longer. Thanks a lot, The National Gallery.
Thank you for the intriguing keys to reading Piero's work. Starting from explaining the suspended moment in sacred time through exploring the negative spaces all the way to the detailed description of the tempera technique which does not allow for corrections or reworkings or modifications as the artist works. One aspect not discussed here is the astounding colours and their magnetic power which perhaps have a magic akin to that of music: defiantly unexplainable except that it reaches the inner corners of our consciousness.
A mesmerising interaction in front of one of the most profound and ethereal paintings in all of art history. Thank you. Ps. Andrew, the artist looks like he’s just stepped out of the painting, to help share its secrets.
The National Gallery: this is SOOO INTERESTING!
Splendid.
Interesting he mentioned ufo photos .. since the clouds in this painting are all 🛸
