Dutch Flowers: In conversation | Betsy Wieseman and Brian Capstick | The National Gallery, London

[@MiaFeigelsonGallery]

The long-term loan of Mr Brian Capstick's paintings to the National Gallery is such a great contribution to art lovers, thank you so very much ! Thanks for thing truly engaging lecture !

[@lisascenic]

I love these paintings for their paint-handling. Thank you for sharing this fascinating conversation.

[@hyperballadbradx6486]

These were a pleasure to listen to - so engaging and exciting

[@artesvives3723]

love these talks but I wish the camera spent more time on the paintings (while they talk) and less on the people talking

[@1219611a]

ArtesVives " the paintings are overthere..."

[@artesvives3723]

sometimes and briefly i'm greedy lol i want to seeeee up and close and a lot

[@DebzZi]

Agree

[@BelleOmbreGrey]

You are so correct. If they would do as you suggest with relevant closeups when appropriate along with split screen comparisons this series would be outstanding

[@outsidethepyramid]

I want to listen to him. I also want to look at the paintings when he talks about them because they are beautiful. I'm sure you know that now in 2019.

[@xyzllii]

Those 2 paintings over there...he says...and the camera does not move. Could you please get much more visual on these talks...about visuals...this is hopeless.

[@slouist]

I totally agree, xyzllii. I have watched many of the National Gallery videos and the common theme is the static nature of the camera. It is SO frustrating and disappointing that we can't see the actual paintings that the experts reference. It greatly diminishes the enjoyment of the video

[@cecilefox9136]

I love flower paintings!

[@RAWDernison1]

Why not show the pictures ? No, the big money status is more important.

Mire ha mi y expongo lo sigiente sobre de Pintor Hoyente

[@barbaraford4337]

No viewing of the paintings makes it uninteresting yet the talk would be brilliant if you could see what they are talking about

[@OlavSurlandHansen]

The disparity between those two makes watching this video a bit testing. Their physical frames seem to underline this. It's like watching a little girl trying to please her father.

It is perhaps not as remarkable as all that for wealthy ladies to have a great deal of time on their hands and all the freedom that goes with being rich. Unconventional, well--traveled, "liberated" ladies of leisure were common enough to constitute a recognizable type. It was among the lower classes who needed a job and a salary and society's approval to get both, that unconventional behavior was less typical.
