jAnother excellent video, you have a wonderful way of describing and analysing paintings and sculpture that makes understanding art accessible. I would be very interested in coming to the Rijksmuseum this spring and it would great if I could book you to show me round!!

[@storiesofart]

Thanks! And I would love to show you around. Not just the Rijksmuseum, by the way. Any museum or old city works for me

[@bev9708]

Fascinating fascinating fascinating!!! Am sooooo looking forward to coming to Amsterdam to book you for a tour, one of my main goals this year!! In the meantime I’ll be heading off to Madrid and the Prado mid-Feb!!!! 🥰😀😃😄😁😆🥰 soooo happy!!! Haven’t been there for almost 40 years!!!!!!

[@storiesofart]

Wow! I am jealous. I haven't had the chance to go to Madrid for much to long now. But if you come to the Netherlands, I would love to show you around. not just the Rijksmuseum, by the way. Any museum or old city centre works for me

[@bev9708]

@@storiesofart WONDERFUL!!! Yes I absolutely figured that any museum or old town centre would work for you!!! 😁

I love the way Rembrandt captures expression. I bet you could do a great video about The Night Watch.

[@storiesofart]

Yes, that is a great suggestion. I will get on that one of these days

Hi Karel, will you tell me please where you got the information about Rembrandt's drinking too much? I hadn't heard that before but am very interested to find out if it is true. Thanks. (By the way, are you aware that your name doesn't appear anywhere here on your KZbin channel?)

[@PaulHermanpainter]

Interesting, too, what you say about the hands being painted by an assistant, because they strike me as particularly good--although there was nothing wrong with the way the master painted hands, he treated them generally more summarily even in the early paintings. Do you know which of his students might have been responsible?

[@storiesofart]

No, we have no idea. they just seem to be by a different hand

[@mariannevanwaasbergen8387]

Wat is dit prachtig!! Zo’n wijs hoofd

[@storiesofart]

Mooi he?

regarding Prins Maurits - while the essence of religion should be humility - unfortunate examples of arrogance seem to stand out - gods' works are great - mine are greater
