In the Studio with Rembrandt and Hals

[@williamschlenger1518]

I never went to art school but I learned from Rembrandt, Hals ,etc.Now I paint portraits. Great video.

[@gasperettiarts]

I adore these lectures. I’m a painter and I find all this incredibly interesting. Fantastic restoration on Hals’ painting

[@rickvaughn2129]

The best instructor so far I've seen on any of these. Just sayin.

[@cyfacrider2008]

Really interesting. Back in the 1980s I lived in the Fenway area and spent many afternoons being with and contemplating these paintings. After college I moved to the west coast. A joy seeing these paintings, like familiar old friends that I've lost touch with.

[@sherrylhenning5630]

The Hals is AMAZING!!! Totally worth the effort!!!!

[@normanstratford9329]

Interesting account about damaged paintings and the traditions of oil paintings. Oils often creak and it would be interesting to know what can be done in the respect of this change to the painting, sometimes the paintings are not so old.

I enjoyed that, and I learned a lot. Thanks.

I always find these studies and restorations give us a great general information about the broad way some specific artists work but unfortunately never deep enough to be a true mapping of their specific layering process (at least the general way of each artist under investigation) unfortunately which would be of an immense value to current artists. Also sometimes they find information which is of a profound relevance but it scapes their attention like additions of protein or calcium carbonate to layers which profoundly affect the flow behaviour of application but restorers seem oblivious to the importance of these gems of information.

Finally I know what the misterious object in the bottom right corner of Vermeer's The milkmaid is: a foot warmer! Thanks!

To the question of loose painting. The eye actually sees “ loosely” if I may. We rarely see the details portrayed in in “ tighter” quasi real paintings. The object of the artist is not to show everything but only what the eye actually sees. This to me is always more “ real”. It astounds me many Master figured this out so early. Rembrandt being the progenitor of this technique.

[@Auriflamme]

Neither Rembrandt nor Franz Hals bothered to turn up for this talk which was supposedly in their studio. I would have demanded my money back if I had attended.

[@aramkrikorian9460]

Great presentation.

[@hansstrik4704]

The 17th century was a golden age in the Netherlands (Holland), therefor there so many paintings available from this period !

[@gloobnord]

The dots at the bottom are reference marks.

[@incognito3620]

I have been a painter for forty years and I still believe Rembrandt was and is the epitome of genius of his age. FYI for speakers in general, and the “ ums” - keep you thought pauses between sentences quiet.

[@m.i.miller8008]

Very Informative ... The "UM" continually got irritating and distracting otherwise excellent presentation.

[@williamschlenger1518]

I liked the yellowish tint to Rembrandts paintings rather than stark white.

[@rachelsremedies2602]

Metropolitan Museum doesn't have this, why?

[@naviali4324]

The seem down the center sorta tells me that he worked in 2 sections. The face. Then the rest of the body

[@jamesanonymous2343]

it don't get any "DULLER" than this ,,,,,,,,can it !

[@margaretbrooker9744]

Sorry, but too many errs and ums.

[@bilinguru]

So interesting. I just wish this lady were aware of how often she says, “uhm.”

[@pistolannie6500]

I DO Hope someone clued her in on what to do and NOT DO that close to a microphone. it was just a little distracting!

[@veritas6335]

The speaker needs to learn to speak without an "um" or an "uh" three times in every sentence. Massively annoying. Had to give up.

[@lisacarney4410]

I love these lectures.. but honest to god, I wish she'd stop saying "um", its making me crazy.

[@jackbailey7037]

I hope never to hear the term "unpack" again.

[@Whiskeygalore24]

Judith Lester looks like a zorn pallete, even though it's before him.

[@rexchristiankennedymontroy2052]

Better Articulation in English is the least required for the presentation of Art.

[@MrDonaldmaddog]

She uh, uh, might make uh she uh sort of uh well uh, uh taken a course in uh how to talk in front of a uh audience.

[@benbaldry4854]

I couldn't watch it uhh ugh
