Giotto: The Father of European Painting

[@themysteriousdomainmoviepalace]

So beautiful! Giotto! I love this so much! Thank you!

[@JamesGoetzke]

His art functions today as it did in day. Most people were illiterate. These were intended to tell the story of Christ and Biblical tales and they still do. As a Catholic I view them emotionally and religiously and I also view them as art. Nice video.

[@paillette2010]

You might want to pick up a book before you embarrass yourself further. Damn. YT comments are astonishing in the bravado of their ignorance.

[@jsc3147]

Seems like heavy reliance on AI to produce this, including the narrator's odd pronunciation of certain common words.

[@castlegate2015]

I thought this AI presentation was rubbish, but I love Giotto's work. Childlike yet highly expressive.

[@Engelhafen]

Don’t get the music accompanying this documentary - naval hymn from the 19th century? There were beautiful chants more relevant to Giottos time.

[@leefangmeyer3068]

Makes no sense.

[@dannymalboeuf1692]

Exactly.

[@mediaprof6328]

I don't grasp what "Those in Peril on the Sea" has to do with the presentation. Quite silly. Did AI just "cue" holy music?

[@buschovski1]

i thought that too. couldn't have run out of things to use. It's either lazy or dumb.

[@ritabykhovsky4175]

Спасибо сердечное.за такой интересный эпизод на вашем замечательном канале. Вы помогаете жить интересною

[@Ai-he1dp]

A great introduction to a great artist.

[@scoutxyz2828]

I enjoyed the presentation, the genius of the last judgement, I liked the virtues and vices the most very profound to the masterpiece.

[@Engelhafen]

Beautiful presentation if this magnificent artists works

[@OUTBOUND184]

Amazing stuff! More sacred art please

[@artisworldfaiza3659]

I love all documentaries

[@mediaprof6328]

The narrative is factual but souless and dry. The clips that run backward or have nothing to do with the narration are disconcerting.

[@nulaptop]

Parts are backwards. I couldn't watch it. Too weird.

[@homerfj1100]

Agreed!

[@gladysbastiaenssens1688]

GIOTTO : un de mes peintres favoris . De si belles fresques.....

[@frmm123]

Each sentence should have a few seconds pause, or it starts to become motor-mouth-like, causes headaches while watching.

[@user-nb4ex5zk3w]

I think it's a bot.

[@graemeking7336]

Whats with the backwards movement? I gave up after 5 minutes

[@lulubelle0bresil]

is this written by a.i?

[@pawelpap9]

Yes. And it shows.

[@TimrodRa]

15: 47. He was talking bout a more. Those children was by moors he even called them ugly. Meaning black. Probably. The Florentine woman. He said they was made in the dark. Just saying.

[@allensaunders449]

We really know very little about him. Alot of conjecture here. Atleast his younger days

[@pterosonus]

I had to turn it off. They may have asked some tough questions but they didn't make him answer. Instead he rambled on and on and on, repeating himself in each answer.

[@David-pj8ti]

You need to work on your pronunciation of names and be consistent.

[@AnnCummings-wp7mv]

Which music accompanies this documentary

[@COBBETT1215]

Giotto is great. This dull and frankly weird documentary is rubbish. Backward moving film, robotic voice over. Ugh

[@JLB0880]

The painting in the thumbnail is very creepy.

[@vickyrontogianni]

I am living for the moment when this ignorant generation will demand the censorship of medieval representation

[@paillette2010]

Honestly this AI narration and cobbled together editing is so bad.

[@gideonros2705]

Honestly, I was expecting some horrible robotic voice, but after watching I can't understand your dislike. Neither was it edited as badly as you claimed.

[@paillette2010]

@@gideonros2705 there is repetition in sections where it's like they are starting over. Watch well made productions and you will easily see the nonsense. Cobbling together stock imagery isn't that hard, but an AI script and narrator who mispronounces words (probably AI) really takes the cake. Think critically. Many people do not seem to want to do that. Just get a wash of emotion from bad production values.

[@gideonros2705]

His frescoes must have been impressive when new.

[@jamesanonymous2343]

>>>>> GIOTTTO TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH IS ""CARTOONIST"",,,,,,,,,,,,

[@stardresser1]

Well THATS pretty RUDE. Guessing you could have paid ted that chapel better before the Renaissance? I bet its great. You should post your painting video!

[@miguelmelendez3354]

I can appreciate the art but I can't stomach the religious make believe crap.

[@leaf1131]

Paintings were the first form of propaganda.

[@Lemma01]

What always amazes me is less how "good" was Giotto, but how comically rubbish were earlier painters. I mean, even Giotto couldn't sort out a decent background half the time. Why couldn't these people draw? It's a gift you're born with; we're they taught to paint flat, oddly proportioned scenes?

[@therealvlad505]

The "dark ages" art was mostly religious. The flat perspective is used to tell a story and establish a hierarchy, there was always some kind of clinb to heaven.

[@pawelpap9]

I can see how in few hundred years people will be wandering why the early version of world wide connectivity was so primitive and filled with inept comments. Why people in calamitous XXIc could not write informed, intelligent and balanced contributions?

[@Lemma01]

@@pawelpap9 That’s exactly what they'll be wandering...

[@vickyrontogianni]

Did you even get the minimum level education?

[@Lemma01]

@@vickyrontogianni I didn't work terribly hard at school - had an awful Arts master (only interested in ceramics). After that, there came a BA and MA from Oxford, then a PhD, a Fellowship of a Royal Society, a few prizes/medals, etc... the usual stuff, I suppose...
