    Elizabeth is probably that one person in the gallery who literally stands in front of the painting for 15 mins analysing every cm while making the rest of us casual browsers wait for our turn while wondering what is she looking at or looking for.

    Wow! I've found productivity videos helpful for organisation, even as a woman in my fifth decade, but I have noticed that they are also empty of meaning/ purpose. This was one of the best videos I've seen on you tube and what a surprise. Your commentary brought to mind Rwanda and the atrocities there, alongside the research done on 'bystanders' and the impact they can have on the course of events. And Angus Macqueen's 'Gulag'.... another example of people sleepwalking through atrocity. And all this just from a painting. I remember you speaking about doing a podcast or similar recently and this is exactly the kind of thing that came to mind as needed. There are lots of strong and worth listening to male voices in this space, but I haven't heard so many women. Here you show such ability to do that. The painting also strikes me with the message that every generation has its sleep walk through wrong doing. We are blindfolded in the time we live in, only those coming after having the eye outside of time and place to see clearly and act on the lessons of history. Maybe the painter is the only one who sees and makes an attempt to change the world with his art.

    I recognized this painting even from the thumbnail and am thrilled to hear you talking about it! The only time I ever visited England was on a family trip when I was 16, and although I was studying fine art, art history, and literature, I hadn’t come upon this piece until I saw it in the National Gallery. When I did, I just fell onto the gallery bench - conveniently set out in front of the painting - and sat there the entire time that my family toured the gallery (ie. hours). Although I did a quick run-through afterwards just to say I visited ‘the gallery’, the truth is I basically just visited Lady Jane. You conjure up many memories here, as well as exude a passion that gets snuffed out all too often in life. I commend your confidence, Elizabeth, and the decision to go after your dreams despite your apprehension. Many kind thoughts and much support coming your way from across the pond.

    Ah! One of my all time favourites, I spent half of my 20s in front of that painting, my eyes glued to the masterful brush strokes that created the life like satin of her dress. The Wikipedia page for it explains who all the people are and its more gruesome when you know. The paintwork of that dress for me so far is the only rival to Van Rijn skills.

    Great video just wanted to clear up: The Man Behind Jane was Sir John Brydges, the lieutenant of the Tower. He is guiding her calmly to the block as a final act of kindness because she couldn’t find her way alone with the blindfold. And also I feel that none of these people could have done anything, Lady Jane was to be executed by the order of Queen Mary (Bloody Mary) and disobeying would be risking their lives and someone else would have been made to Carry out the execution. I personally feel that they felt the could not fight the situation.

    This was a really interesting take on one of my favorite paintings. The way you describe the despair of the women in the painting as the viewpoint we're meant to sympathize with makes me think of the Oath of the Horatii by Jacques-Louis David (who taught Antoine-Jean Gros, who taught Delaroche). In the Oath of the Horatii, David contrasts women acting emotionally in opposition to Roman men preparing to kill or be killed, but this time we're meant to sympathize with the men. Interesting how perspectives can change over just a few decades.

    Yeh, this is one of my "beeliners" in the National Gallery. Massively impressive painting. There was the men in the Privy Council hoping to manipulate her then turning on her when Queen Mary made her comeback. One important thing you left out, and I didn't know this at first either, was that Queen Mary offered her a full pardon if she converted to Catholicism. Jane refused and so the completely "lamb to the slaughter" thing in the end doesn't ring true entirely and Protestant's then an now see a certain resolve on Jane's part in this painting TO BE EXECUTED. The Protestant Martyr. There is a bit of militancy in her action which isn't immediately apparent. NOW, to the painting. It's a masterwork of composition and contrasts. Sharp edges: the block, the axe blade, the X composition all setting up the contrast with the soft, clothe bound rounded head. More contrast with the dark grey green background and the strong orange and blue white. All roads lead to the block. Now there's a message. I remember the first time I saw this in person, I unconsciously positioned myself directly ( about ten feet back ) in the center of the painting to view it. It really is like entering right into that room. I also remember not being able to take the pathos of the thing very long and was relieved to move on to whatever painting was next. I have no idea what that may have been but I do remember the relief. The National Gallery so so good; probably my favorite. Moroni is the only other artist I MUST see when I'm there along with the Renaissance unfinished works. After a whip round to the National Portrait Gallery and a pint or two I consider my day thoroughly well spent. One last Calvanistic thought. Why does the axe man look a lot like......Jesus?
