@halldorbergقبل 9 أشهرReminds of the Chinese art "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" which was painted ~450 years earlier. It captures the daily life and id="hidden2" class="buttons"> bustling activity of people in a prosperous city during the Qingming Festival, which is a traditional Chinese festival that falls around early April. The scroll illustrates the urban life of the time, showcasing various scenes like a bustling marketplace, crowded streets, a bridge over a river, and people engaging in various activities. ....وسعت14

@MartijnPenningsقبل 9 أشهرIn the Netherlands we have this romantic image of people ice skating from paintings like these. As it happened, late 16th century was the coldest period id="hidden3" class="buttons"> in western Europe during what's called the "little ice age", a period from roughly 1400-1800 where it was colder than usual in western Europe. I thought that was mildly interesting. ....وسعت31

@mjr_schneiderقبل 9 أشهرBruegel is one of my favourite artists of all time. I particularly love his style and that of other Early Netherlandish artists because it sits somewhere id="hidden4" class="buttons"> between the more stylised Gothic art of the Middle Ages and the more naturalistic style of the Baroque era. It gives the scenes of ordinary life he depicts a sense of magic and symbolism that later paintings lack. ....وسعت8

@AlastairjCarruthersقبل 9 أشهرI do appreciate older art, but there's only so much enjoyment I can really get from religious subjects (I'm not religious) and formal portraiture id="hidden14" class="buttons"> (which can get repetitive).

@christianwgregoryقبل 9 أشهرA Eurocentric view of art history. “Arguably” and “significant” are doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Can it really be argued that prior to 1500, no works of art (music, poetry, painting, literature) depicted the common person. ....وسعت2

@
@PilgrimVisionsقبل 9 أشهرI'd put a big asterisk on the primary claim of this video. No question that Bruegel is important for the Renaissance tradition of painting and engraving. id="hidden19" class="buttons"> But one has only to browse the Luttrell Psalter or the Fecamp Psalter or any of a number of late-medieval Books of the Hours (which surely influenced Bruegel) to find non-satirical depictions of common people in labor and leisure. You will find countless more examples if you allow religious scenes, which after all, mainly depict not kings and nobles but peasants and ordinary tradesmen, albeit in elevated circumstances. ....وسعت

@A_M_Bobbقبل 9 أشهرI love your channel, but I'd appreciate a non-Eurocentric POV of art. Art is a global phenomenon that is inherent to the human condition and most people id="hidden27" class="buttons"> are not European. Yes many non-European art was destroyed or stolen during colonialism (see Operation Legacy) but the records are still there and as an artist myself I'm getting tired of "the history of art started in the 14th century in >insert European country here<" narrative when humanity is over 50000 years old and global. ....وسعت3
