I had never heard of De La Tour before today. After seeing this, I'm going to look him up and see more of his work. Congratulations on such a fantastic video!

Your kind words mean a lot! I hope you enjoy exploring more of De La Tour's art.

An excellent video! I've subscribed. Thanks! You've convinced me that these are gypsies, rather than the usual interpretation of their being prostitutes with their madam. One point, though: it is a common mistake to think that Caravaggio invented his "Caravaggesque" look. He didn't. The look is known as Tenebrism, and painters were painting this way 140 years before Caravaggio was born (van Eyck's Self Portrait of 1433, for example-a dark background against which the light shapes jump out dramatically). Caravaggio was trained under Simone Peterzano in Milan, and Peterzano was a follower of the Venetian way of painting-check out Titian's portrait of Aretino, or any one of several portraits by Tintoretto. What Caravaggio brought to Rome was the use of mirror projections that gave an added realism to his outlines. This is why his studio was painted black, and why he banged a hole in the roof (mirror projections need a strong spotlight). His landlady famously sued him for this.

Looks like a Caravaggio? Really?

[@deborahberger5816]

Nah, canna be. No dead bodies or sneaky self portraits.

I hate A.I. . It never pronounces words properly.

I think it is the well dressed lady that is the most interesting. It's her husband and she sees the opertunity to get a bit of money or pay back and blaming it on the gypsies.

Why does this seem like another very specific channel? Seems like her style and quirkiness. This is weird.

What a silly analysis. You seem to be on the point of giggling.
