When I lived in London I visited Kenwood House every weekend to admire the artworks you mention here and to take a coffee in the garden. Thanks for taking me back!

I'm always impressed with the production value not to mention the information and Mr. Payne's grasp of the material. I'm a patreon and I love this channel.

You could do a series on Great Art Patrons Explained as well. Medici, Royalty, and Guggenheim, many others. It would really tie in a lot of artists and locations.

This is the second video I watch after Paris and I am overwhelmed by how great they are. They make the viewers better persons, they teach so much. Thank you cert very much.

[@flyingcucumber]

I'm so overflown with emotions upon finishing watching this. Sir, your interpretation is exquisite. Your videos are a form of philanthropy themselves; without them, I would never be elevated and stumble into the beauty of the art world as a layman. Good fortune to you!

[@GreatArtExplained]

Thanks 🙏

[@timdavis2220]

I never was much one for "great art", not being exposed to it much during my youth...and I probably will never travel to see any of these galleries or paintings in person...but I come away from your wonderful videos feeling enriched and satisfied that I have had the opportunity to "see" such works. Better yet, in the privacy of my own room without the crowds jostling me for position or the expenses involved. Thank you once again for an excellent piece that brings such beauty to my humble abode.

[@Aiglee]

I finally travelled to London, and I visited the Soane Museum. "A rake's progress" is available for 10 minutes every day at 2 PM. It's magical, but Hogarth's "Humours of an Election" is sublime (you have more time to admire the details). Worth the visit 100%

[@GreatArtExplained]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the info 🙏

[@mariasalvatore5921]

To see further little known art museum collections would be a privilege. Please bless us by sharing more of your Great Art Explained series.

[@Mrstik]

James, any video you put out is an instant watch from me. thank you for the consistent high quality content!

[@heidihill2361]

I have recently discovered your a great art series. When I was in my teens every Saturday morning I would bid my parents a farewell and take the Subway to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was one of the most incredible art experiences of my life and have visited dozens of Museum since then in U.S. and Europe. Thank you for reminding us how important art is to all of us.

[@WorgenGrrl]

Good Sir, your channel has given me more than my Art Appreciation class in college...and for FREE

This one almost made me cry at the end. Love this channel so much, thank you.

The selection of music pieces for your videos is astounding! Keep it up!

[@jonathanrussell9606]

Wonderful expansion of the channel. Can’t wait for my town NYC to be featured. Studied abroad in London and this episode is such a reminder of what I love about the art in that city. Bravo.

[@ACinDorset]

Good grief - the dozens of times I have been for walks on Hampstead Heath and walked right past Kenwood House never knowing it was full of incredible paintings- I could kick myself! Also, I visited the Soane back in the 1990s when studying in London. It is so memorable and wonderful that last year I took my family to see it. However, I had no idea that The Rakes Progress paintings were housed inside. Finally, the Wallace collection- that will be next on my places to visit when I next go to London. Superb video, as always!

[@tomlafferty4651]

I had the pleasure of already visiting Sir John Soane's Museum before watching this, and now I can't wait to pay a visit to the other two galleries of the video, thank you once again James and Joanne :)

thanks, Tom! Our next art cities video (Paris) will be out Monday (earlier to Patrons)!

[@supremereader7614]

Great choice of subjects, thanks for going into detail about people like Caneletto.

[@briandubois-gilbert8182]

Indeed-this superb video gives us art lovers a glimpse into “the fascinating stories” behind these lesser known galleries, these patrons of the art, their art collection, and the legacy they made by bequeathing their art collection as a trust, as a lasting legacy to benefit culture by promoting the appreciation of art by the public at large. Couldn’t help but admire the story revealed here of William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, who is not only wealthy and privileged but is also a distinguished jurist, highly cultured and possessed an acute moral and social conscience by supporting the long struggle for the abolition of slavery in the British empire. Excellent analysis of the pieces by Vermeer, Hals, Rembrandt and more. Looking forward to these series. Many thanks for sharing your masterful knowledge and deep appreciation of art. It enriches the spirit.
