Great! Thanks!

[@MrDelvoye]

Wow nice one

[@Mrgp789]

well done. thanks.

Really wonderful and in great contrast to Waldemar’s disturbing pronunciation of the English language. Let me remark that the shown lily held by the Holy Mary, our Mahashakti, has got a radiating spiritual significance: Purity Arising from Perfect Consecration , found in Flowers and their Messages, Sri Aurobindo Ashram.

Thank you :)

It is a very beautiful painting, but almost too powerful for the very deliberately ‘everyday’ subject matter. You could go on looking at it forever, because it is so enigmatic, so disturbing.

Gracias, desde España. Me gusta mucho el documental

How many National Gallery's are there ? Why not state clearly which one this is ?

[@dmmw125]

Should be obvious from.the context.

Sounds like she is reading an essay rather than taking us through her own complete knowledge. Constant repetition of names in full makes it sound like the work of an under-grad.

[@northernhemisphere4906]

Knowledge is never complete,that’s the point of it.What are you on about mate?

[@matttheman9740]

@Reg Plate Thank you sir, thats what i was also thinking. i simply cant listen to lectures like this for that very reason, even if its on topics im very interested in. It just sucks all the fun out of it for me. I have to learn by exploring myself and almost accidentally finding the info out. I cant just sit and be force fed info in this manner. But the point of these lectures isnt to put us to sleep, its actually for people who can learning in almost any setting. I also very much dislike still lives lol, i just simply just HAD to come here to see how bored and annoyed i would get especially knowing full well i hate these types of lectures xD this lady worked really hard to do what she does however, just not my cup of tea.
