Art Historian reacts to Red Velvet 레드벨벳 'Feel My Rhythm' MV

[@EmilyandAbby]

The paintings that Red Velvet recreated that we mentioned were: “Ophelia” by John Everett Millais “Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son” by Claude Monet “The Garden of Earthly Delights” by Hieronymus Bosch Upon rewatching we also think that the shot of Irene on the swing at the beginning is probably referencing “The Swing” by Jean-Honoré Fragonard And the classical piece sampled throughout the song is “Air on the G String” by Johann Sebastian Bach ;)

[@aquaonce2149]

Maybe "the great wave off kanagawa"-wendy

[@danimillz7927]

I think the part with Yeri on the 2nd verse can be a reference to 'The Birth of Venus'

[@malaikat8880]

Thank you so much

This Feel My Rhythm got a lot of hint： 1. Joy lying on water (Ophelia - John Everett Milley) 2. Irene swing ("The Swing" - Fragonard) 3. Irene with umbrella with Seulgi ("The Woman Holding the Umbrella" - Monet) 4. Yeri Hair Style with strawberry ("Four Seasons" - Mucha) 5. At the End of the MV is the fountain frome from the painting of Hieronymus Bosch , it can be found in The Garden of Earthly Delights 6. Seulgi standing on the ladder (paul dominique - lady looking behind the wall) 7. Wendy & Yeri looking at Joy in the water (paul dominique - Nymphs Finding the Head of Orpheus) Hieronymus Bosch painting is all related to this Feel My Rhythm MV including the RedVelvet all sitting inside of room with a table (actually is a monster)(Climbing the Ladder: On Hieronymus Bosch's Vision of Hell) This is a Triptych - a single narrative artwork split into 3 panels. the castle at the end of the MV is in the first panel. There are still got a lot of thing I still haven't done the research yet. So Reveluv : We might get a lot of comeback this year. Prepare for it Luvies!💝💛💙💚💜 Oh, I also forgot the theory of strawberry, can't remember it.

[@Waender]

when theyre hinting this is a spring comeback, we might see 4 seasons of vivaldi all through out of this comebackssssssss

[@jessnope4803]

SM try really hard to make Reveluv learn art history in the fun way

[@renjunbread]

amazing. this comebach makes me feel happy. the staffs composers members etc worked so hard to prepare this masterpiece. and im looking forward to another cb!!💖

[@michaelanthony4356]

You forgot the birth of Venus.

[@jc-sw912]

when you’re so used to rv confusing storyline and u just go “thats a big ‘ol strawberry”

[@EmilyandAbby]

LMAO you get us

[@BeaPolits]

the way you screamed "BOSCH?" omfg i have never felt so represented in a reaction video before. i'm so happy it was red velvet, my favorite kpop group, that did this concept. but let's be real: only them and their creative team would ever even think of pulling off something like this, and THAT'S why they're my favorite ❤️🧡💙💚💜

[@EmilyandAbby]

Everything about it was lovely!!!! ❤️

[@ssunootonin]

I feel so happy watching this and ReactToTheK's reaction to Feel My Rhythm. When art and music collide. I LOVE IT!

[@EmilyandAbby]

So happy to hear!! 💗💗

[@ultimanga]

I've seen a lot of reactions, and I think while many reactors applaud the music and artistry of red velvet of a whole, I think you guys have one of the best reactions. It's awesome you are able to perceive the nuances of the video because of both of your backgrounds.

[@EmilyandAbby]

Ahh this means so much thank you!! It’s been fun to be fans of them for so long and see them combine our other passions in this video as well :)

[@ampdoubleyu]

That is why I keep saying RV will eventually capture everyone’s hearts with their comebacks because their concepts are so versatile, everyone will definitely relate or be attracted to one

[@emmabruh]

As someone who grew with a lot of classical music, cuz I’m a ballet dancer lol, when I first heard Bach I was like 😳omg what is happening Also the song, simply a masterpiece, I’m literally addicted

[@EmilyandAbby]

Right?? And they kept it throughout the song too, we were so pleased!!!

[@leen29]

Great reaction. The mv was literally a work, absolutely stunning. Red Velvet members stepped and sure as heck leveled-up. Our RV n.e.v.e.r disappoint. This was a breath of fresh air in whole new direction and I loved it. They all were gorgeous and that shot of Seulgi at end, WOW 😯😍🔥🔥🔥

[@Wendykrisd]

Awww this video is so precious. So nice to see art historians reacting to this! 🥲

[@EmilyandAbby]

So glad other people watching this enjoy art as much as I do!!! ❤️ - Emily

[@skye_flake]

when she said "if there's any monet in this..." i started giggling

[@kang3391]

Loved your reaction as always! The art references are so cool, only RV could pull something like this in such a unique way

[@KillerCat10]

YES I’m so glad someone with an art history background is reacting to it!!! I’m studying art history and curatorial studies myself so it’s soooo nice to see other reactors get just as shook over the Bosch as I was!!!!!!!! loved this

[@EmilyandAbby]

YESSSSS art historian luvies gotta stick together!! 💖

[@stanswaytoomanygroups8664]

this is definitely one of the last concepts i expected. im actually so in love with it tho. the painting references were so genius.

[@20_sovifebriani49]

i really love reaction like this. the one who understand music and art, reaction to the true art and red velvet is an art

[@EmilyandAbby]

Thank you!!!

[@323film]

i'm glad you both reacted to this!! as a luvie art student i really appreciated this mv

[@EmilyandAbby]

YESSS luvie art students unit 🥰

[@richardrichard4029]

I seem to run into your reactions when special groups like twice and redvelvet have comebacks. So it's queens doing queen things...nice. Thanks for the art history, it added a nice touch to a great reaction. Don't stay away too long but then kpop has to be worthy of your cb too.🌝❤👍

[@EmilyandAbby]

This is SO SWEET thank you lovely!! ❤️ - Emily

[@EmilyandAbby]

Thank you 🥰🥰

[@DelunaIsNotMe]

Same.. its always fun to see a reveluv reacting to red velvet 😌

[@HeyyyItsCharlene]

It’s cool that you both were able to recognize the music and art references upon first watching it, I knew they were referring to something but I didn’t know what 😅 also another K-pop song that samples classical music is BoA and TVXQ’s Tri-Angle which uses Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor

[@EmilyandAbby]

Yes!! Lots of kpop songs that use great classical motifs :)

[@octopusmusic332]

What makes this reaction watchable is you are not pausing You are enjoying every members turn You are not irritational

[@EmilyandAbby]

We try to take it all in as it comes!! More enjoyable that way! :)

[@helpy5760]

Thank you for reacting to Feel My Rhythm! Glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@Ratatui248]

In this MV some members represent spring and others represent winter. The aim is to highlight the contrast between day/night, light/darkness. But I think baroque would be so much common in this context, so they decided to bring Bosch's art. The painting here is not used literally, it only serves as an inspiration for some concepts and for the setting, and it's just perfect

[@patitasnaranjo9105]

Im So proud of been a luvie..dang luvies are smart!!!!! And RV like to Play with us its perfect!!

[@EmilyandAbby]

[@imnobodyatall6577]

The attention to detail and how all those things were incorporated in the mv, I really love how you guys pointed them out! Especially since I'm not rlly well versed in these fields and once I saw the mv for the first time, I just knew there was more to the meaning in the visuals than what met my eyes. And it's so satisfying that you guys were able to point em out and explain what they are, it's so intriguing and it made me realize more things than what I did before seeing your reactions to it and giving your thoughts about the mv. Rlly grateful (≧▽≦)

[@djlovesmusic]

Your video popped up in my feed and i wanted to see if fellow art lovers reacted with as much amazement as i did on first sight....and you did! Do watch it again. There are many more paintings and Bosch scenes that you missed. I had no idea about anything in the video beforehand - art or music - and near fell off my chair upon immediately hearing Bach and seeing the Millais Ophelia expanded into Waterhouse’s Orpheus. I had never seen such an MV before. Bosch was everywhere - from beginning, middle, and end. I saw that iconic Fragonard painting (another wow moment) and Monet’s Woman with Parasol first go-round. The girls gathering flowers was super familiar and i had to watch 3x and go through my Pre-Raphaelites art books (it had that vibe) before placing it as another Waterhouse (gather ye roses). I am a huge fan of Waterhouse, and I saw the Garden of Earthly Delights at the Prado. I bought a huge portfolio book of that painting at the museum’s shop and have studied the imagery details a great deal. There are at least 20 images in that video that are from Bosch. How mind-blowing. Even the boat that they are on in the scenes from Swan Lake are in the Bosch painting. It’s fun finding them all. Give it a go! In terms of theme through pictures in that video, it’s as obvious as a knock on the head. That video was my inauguration into Red Velvet and I’m now a huge fan of all they do and have done. I applaud Red Velvet’s production team for keeping classical art and music alive among RV’s primary audience.

[@troymikkelsen9479]

I like your thought process, dig I little deeper.

[@georgied4073]

also in relation to the story i saw this comment on a different video and thought it was super interesting the comment was by Emily Edgan but this is what they wrote "Gibson suggests that the strawberry imagery might connected to a text by Virgil (which probably would have been familiar to Bosch and Hendrik III because Virgil’s passage is referenced in Roman de la Rose, a popular poem in the Burgundian court). In this text, Virgil warns children to not gather strawberries, because “the cold, evil serpent” is hiding the grass nearby. It seems to me that Bosch’s strawberries could serve as an indirect reference to a serpent (and, by extension, the Fall and sin). Such associations fit well with the imagery for The Garden of Earthly Delights" which made me understand a bit more the storyline or referencing ^_^

[@Damonistique]

TVXQ in Tri-angle and H.O.T. in I-yah referenced Mozart. Probably you meant one of them? Also, if you need one more beautiful SM song based on classics, try listening to Taeyeon's Some Nights. It's Peer Gynt and it's beautiful.
