[@bawbtherevelator6445]

Age nearly 83, you've given me a wonderful lesson in "how to see." I would have walked past this elegant picture without knowing what I'd passed by. Thanks so much

[@reflectivesilverdoe]

She's one of the most amazing curators and scholars at the National Gallery. Thank you for such a wonderful explanation.

[@annelambert9876]

How lovely to learn about a painting I didn’t know before. Superb 10 minutes

[@gioielleriadini8728]

Thank you very much indeed!! Wonderful painting. I live in Urbino, and see similar hills from my windows...during this lockdown!! And also Italian paintings help me in theese circumstances...Please continue, with Bellini, Mantegna...and so on!

[@jaap8232]

Lovely painting, great explanation!!

[@SUSSDUE]

I have treasured this painting from the time I saw a postcard of it as a young teenager. It was fantastic too se it for real many years later. Thank you for this lovely talk- I have to confess never really looked through the windows, I have been to captured with Jeromes study! This is what art talks are really about, to make you see things in a painting you were once blind for!

[@madeleineemslie1824]

Love the details...being able to properly look and shown around by an expert

[@theneathpolice]

Caroline, I am so glad to watch you and listen to you again, even if you are not actually in the National Gallery. In fact, your being in your kitchen added to my enjoyment! More please!

[@helenedeslauriers3983]

Wonderfully presented! Thank you!

A lovely choice of paintng, and excellent commentary.

[@darinchuluunlkhagvadorj1436]

Worthy 10 minutes with beautiful painting and amazing curator.

[@jnelson508]

I really enjoyed the commentary and tour through the details of the painting.

[@alexsmith4937]

I greatly miss being able to go to the National Gallery, and I am so grateful for these wonderful lectures which give me the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the art and the fascinating commentary of the curators. Thanks for giving some life and color to these isolated days of the pandemic.

[@rosemarycrosland8302]

I connected with this painting the minute I saw it, and particularly with the study which I immediately wanted to replicate, it just looks the perfect place to work. Caroline's talk helped me to see so much more of the fascinating details in it.

[@silviaceriale2489]

Thanks!! I very much enjoyed your description of the the painting.

[@Anna-tj7mp]

Thank you, these talks have been a great solace at this strange time. I will come to the gallery soon!

[@maomaoj]

Thank you very much for showing me details I didn’t pay attention before. Most grateful! I would like to go to NG soon to check the painting and see the details with my own eyes!

[@IlllIlIIllIll]

She has a perfect pronunciation for my ears. I'm learning English pronounce with Caroline :)

[@alanmclean9343]

Superb! I have just been to Liverpool's Walker gallery and said to my friend "wouldn't it be great if you could see videos about the paintings before visiting" ☺

[@ita1977]

Wow!! 😍

[@junesilvermanb2979]

SAINT Jerome of Stridon, please heal my heart and soul...

[@leoliebster2451]

Thank you. Fascinating.

[@ralphmilburn6245]

The green pulsating dot is all my little mind can focus on ;-)

[@kirschrot77]

yes I was distracted by that as well

[@andrewfrost8866]

Thank you so much!

[@rozembergbarbosa24]

I adored the study 👍

[@georgefreitas232]

Thanks Caroline

[@abdelkadersefraoui]

this just cleansed my anxiety

[@avispowell8713]

Magnificent thank you.

[@missytempleman4793]

I love how the artist left the books open like tabs on a computer. He looks on intensely. What's the little door next to the little trees by his feet? Why is there seem to be a letter by the door. What does is say. Who or what is supposedly in there? Or is it for him when he goes in? Does he ever go in the little door?

[@xcesar4impx666]

this is the kind of lovely voice, could be defiantly used in an art history AUDIO book ,

[@carolinegray3150]

Nice describing the painting

[@ambrosiatea]

Lovely! Thank you :)

[@jaselim3105]

Thank you Ms caroline Campbell for the great choice of painting at this time. Envy the cosiness of Jerome's Study. Great narration from the lion to the finest details of the swallow and sheep to provide another dimension of appreciating this painting, love it. BTW, I don't understand the placement of the green dot on the screen, is it necessary? If it is, then maybe pls stop the pulsation, as human attention tends to be diverted to a moving object, thank you.

[@TheElfgaladriel]

Oh my god. I always thought that Antonello introduced the oil painting in Italy. So who did it? Please I have to know. Thanks ☺️

[@weiweihuang2394]

I come from China, like your interpretation very much, let me see the beauty of art

[@darklingeraeld-ridge7946]

You can go anywhere you want, but the cat is in a shadow.

[@jeromehuntington3962]

Jerome in Da House!

[@alfonsomalagon727]

this is dope

[@professorsogol5824]

How do we know the. birds are swallows? It seems to me that they lack enough detail to provide identification. Could they not be pigeons, a bird that is commonly seen near human habitations throughout the year?

[@marcogentile7292]

👏👏👏💕

This painting is full of symbols...

[@kirschrot77]

I agree and I would have liked to learn more about that

[@patrickryan353]

I love De Messina ; now I will think about IKEA every time I see this ..

[@seagullpoet]

Where’s the human skull that was on his desk ?

[@markh2480]

My uncle thought he was Saint Jerome

[@mostaphamekeddem4806]

This artist be like : impressionism what?

[@archenema6792]

For shame, Jerome! That Vulgate of yours is just too vulgar. 😉
