From the Early Renaissance to the end of the 19th Century, elements of Art developed in a way that is visible if you pay close attention. If you are a visual artist, learning to recognize these elements will help your work.

I was always taught "Straight lines are there for duty ,Curved lines are there for Beauty" Great vid as always! Thank you.

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Cesar, maestro, this is brilliant - even more so than your other usual super brilliant vlogs. Please let's keep trying to make the modern Realists conceive of their ideas visually, rather than (mistakenly) thinking that the simple Narrative statement is enough. Paintings are made of coloured shapes (coloured shapes are their basic vocabulary), and today's Realists have to realise that their job is to manipulate, group and design these shapes into a pattern that pushes the Narrative into the viewer's consciousness. This is called Pictorial Composition and is only taught, these days, at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence. Bravo, caro mio!! Sei un grande davvero!

[@santocesart]

Michael John Angel Maestro!!! Thank you! And respect!! It's true most of this information I leared while studying with you. See you soon... in May. GO ANGEL ACADEMY

[@elsagrace3893]

Michael John Angel narratives attached to art are BULLSHIT!

[@LaoZi2023]

@@elsagrace3893 Two year old response, but why do you feel attaching a narrative to art is bullshit?

[@anthonycarlson9355]

I love how you make complex theories easy to understand. I bought your portrait painting video and I love it. Afterwards I found your KZbin channel and it feels like bonus material. If anyone out there is contemplating buying his painting video and is scared by the price. Do it! You will not be disappointed. He explains painting portraits in the same easy to understand way as all of these KZbin videos. Cesar I love your KZbin channel. I am so glad I bought your painting video, I have learned so much. Keep it up please.

[@santocesart]

anthony carlson Thank you for those words. Glad I can help! Cheers!

[@divinedia]

I agree he’s amazing at simplifying old masters techniques and classical realism

[@rodline9027]

Listening to you talk about art is incredibly inspiring. You really need to do a book for artists on how to look at art and the ask the important questions one should be considering when viewing a piece. In this video you are giving me questions I might never have thought to ask about a piece.

[@rodline9027]

david bryan I agree. I also think there is a academic,theoretical way to approach looking at art. It's different, more through a learning lens... if that makes sense. Thanks for replying

What a wonderful masterclass! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your time.

[@robhaidheuch]

Thanks for confirming I have been on the right track as I continue on my journey of understanding how to approach my own painting. I only disovered the existence of the Angel School in Florence today. I failed to be accepted as a student at Glasgow School of Art back in the 1970s, but I'm glad now I was rejected as I suspect my love of classical Art would have been crushed by the school. I had assumed , in my naivety, that access to that school would have trained me in the methods of the Old Masters.

[@unoperez912]

Cesar, I discovered your channel about 6 months ago and I wanna thank you for the knowledge and advice you share with us. Youre the best! :) Thank you!

[@ncorva]

Wow, beautiflly explained, clear and with a lot of passion. You are the best Cesar! Love your work and your videos.

[@superflystudios19]

[@dagoelius]

You are so fortunate to be able to see a Bouguereau up close and in person.

[@Yayyyyyyyyyy]

dagoelius there is one in Stockton, California of all places in the world. It is in the Haggin Museum.

[@dagoelius]

Hopefully one day some his works will tour down under here in Australia. :)

[@mandolinmountain]

Thank you Cesar and thank you San Diego Museum!

[@jennylovatt8587]

You are so generous with the content of your free videos..I have learnt so much from just watching a few. Thank you, and wishing you continued success!

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

Whoooha.. So much information, so much to take in, to process, to sort in my mind. *rubs temples* VERY VERY useful, so much good information and above all a sensible explanation for each period and painting. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@tsancheteresa758]

Extraordinario artista.!! Grande maestro!! Me gusta mucho su trabajo. Le boy a seguir viendo sus vídeos ..Le escribo en español porque sé que usted es cubano, y en su tierra hablan el castellano . Bueno, maestro le felicito.

[@klausgasser]

This was almost a perfect summary of a the chapter „Tone and color design“ from Harold Speeds „Oil painting techniques and materials“ I was reading today. Just 10 times less dry and more fun! :) Great information!

[@sarahwoods1371]

This is definitely a favorite- and I love that Barefoot Bouguereau!❤️❤️❤️

[@Kaalokalawaia]

Absolutely loved your walkthrough art history.

[@akirabito]

William A. Bouguereau is my favourite artist, i can watch his painting for ever so mesmerizing!! Good video tough!

[@JohannaHattner]

Amazingly explained! There's indeed so much to learn from the old masters. Very nice tour, thanks a lot!

[@lonemapper]

You have become one of my all time favorite artists! I look forward to every video!

[@adm58]

Thanks for this vlog series Cesar, I find your videos very informative and inspiring. You are an excellent teacher and I am sure that your clear enthusiasm for the subject transfers to other viewers as well as to myself. Well done you.

[@ramelep]

Wow!!!!! Thank you! What a great teacher and amazing artist

[@MaryThompson63]

I love these talks about art theory & history. Thanks!

[@jtarrats100]

Awsome depiction of the progression in traditional painting .

[@artbyshackleton3270]

Wonderful video Cesar, and very succinct history of art. I learnt a lot from this. Thank you.

[@stephhrabe6971]

Cesar, I did a report for Art History from the very paintings in this very museum! You did a much better job than me, I love love love your explanations of these pieces. Thank you for posting! I will share this!!

[@brendadoyle643]

So inspiring. It has been said so many times in other comments, but alas, this is exactly what this video has done for me. So passionate. What a great video for art history that won’t be forgotten!! Art teachers - take note!!

[@watchvids7802]

Art history, as told by a painter. The world very much needed to know about this perspective!

[@thugbot3641]

This is so awesome. I live 10 minutes away from here and I've been quite a few times but I've never thought of the art that way

[@antoniofellini5484]

Fantástica lección. Muchas gracias Cesar Santos.

[@heiferTV]

This channel is a great discovery i made today. Excellent. Gracias por compartir tu maestría.

[@tsjebbevandamme278]

Extreme late reaction, just seeing this now and wanted to thank you for this vlog. Because feel like I have learned more in this than my last two years of art history classes together! Thanks man, you make me eager to learn again and keep practicing!

[@muhlenstedt]

Thank you Cesar, I live in Europe and near great Museus those I often visite, but I have never seen so much as you do in these old paintings.I just admire them but have never learned anything from it.You has helped me to push my limitations in seeing through a true artistically way of observation.

[@elsef6798]

Thank you for the great video - love the longer format and the way you use the paintings to visualize your technical points. Wonderful!!

[@alphinart]

Thanks Cesar! The title is very appropriate, and I don't really use color too much, but I am going to start using warm and cool gray markers next month(I am an aspiring comic book artist), so this color and line information is very useful to me! Now i'm gonna rap this comment up, now I know the lines I need to create the right illusion, how to balance light and color to create an even distribution.

[@mariooliveto1054]

Wonderful presentation...many thanks !!

[@sukilu1964]

What a great video. Really enjoyed that, you talk with so much passion on the subject. Thanks!

Great video. Now everyone, keep this in mind and actually go draw and paint, it's not enough watching every video and regurgitating this information to others so you look smart, so many people doing this type of things this days...

Thank you so much for this! Your commentary is fantastic. I wish more instructors were as knowledgeable and articulate as you. It's amazing how many visual artists DON'T KNOW about the development of compositional techniques throughout history.
