I don't know alot about art. I just know what I like when I see it. The self portrait of Elisabeth Vigee LeBrun is stunning. I could look at her all day. Great video! Thank you 🌻

[@TheMuseumGuide]

I’ll be featuring another of her works in my upcoming Louvre paintings video!

[@nancyblanton6686]

My husband fell in love with Elizabeth Vigee LeBrun, and a different self-portrait, at the Kimball Museum in Fort Worth TX. (She was very young) We bought a print in gift shop, framed it and displayed it in our home for several years.

[@MicaFarrierRheayan]

I love how detailed you go to anylized their works! This place is definitely one of many museums that I like

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Thank you!

[@crystalgrout4537]

Yes please to Versailles! Still on my bucket list. Also yes to female artists. Appreciate everything that you do. Your videos help so much when I can't get to places...yet

[@TheMuseumGuide]

You’re very welcome! Versailles will be next year. ❤️🇫🇷

30:31 the famous French female court painter Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun isn't holding an EASEL (that's the often wooden contraption/stand that painters put/rest their canvasses on while they are painting). What she is holding is called a painters PALETTE on which they hold & mix their paints.✌🏻☺️. I love & I am very grateful for your channel, where you take us with you on your Museum tours. As, these days, I'm housebound due to several chronic illnesses (MS). Luckily I did visit many of these beautiful museums, in the past. But thank you for taking us to these places, some of us cannot (no longer) go. 👋🏻from 🇳🇱.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Thank you! I misspoke. :)

[@adrianoconnor3020]

I found the execution of lady Jane Grey absolutely amazing when I saw it there last year

[@amb163]

You definitely need to go to Versailles! I would definitely watch that video. It's incredibly to hear that only 22 portraits are by women... I very much doubt that others lacked the potential talent of their male counterparts, but more likely the patronage and time. I like that in more recent times, other forms of art/craftwork have been elevated to a place of recognition.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Most of the female painters had fathers or husbands who were painters, which gave them an opportunity. I’ll be talking about it more in the future!

[@judithstonier9872]

I love the variety of paintings you showed in this video and learned so much from your clear explanations of style and content ... more please 🥰

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Thank you, Judith!

[@jeanmkaufmann]

I grew up with a half size copy of the Hay Wain in our hallway. 🙂🇨🇦

[@TheMuseumGuide]

That's a true Commonwealth experience!

I saw many of these paintings this year, and I appreciate now having the extra context to them. Maybe I’ll have to have another visit!

[@TheMuseumGuide]

You should do the courtauld at Somerset House!!! They have such an amazing collection

[@TheMuseumGuide]

It’s on the list! I love it there. 😍

[@emmamarson2105]

Thank you very much for your work. Interesting and enjoyable. Only wish these were available in my youth

Michelangelo is also my favorite amongst the Renaissance painters.

[@Dreaming5]

You briefly mentioned Alnwick (pronounced Ann Ick) Castle. I highly recommend a visit there, and the adjacent Gardens which are wonderful in full bloom. The poison garden can’t be missed!

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Oh yes, I’ve heard of them! Brilliant.

[@johnreidy8922]

Please do more. I would love to hear what you think about Zurbaran, Constable, and Bronzino in the National Gallery.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

I’ve got my next 3 NG videos planned! Bronzino will be in my “Strangest Paintings in the NG” video. Constable is in this video, btw. The Hay Wain.

[@JanBanJoovi-ol1qv]

I’ve watched your first video of top before going to National Gallery for the first time yesterday. Great selection indeed. Unfortunately, the boy bitten by a lizard and rokebuy venus weren’t on display. I instantly became an art lover yesterday. I always believe that art is the most profound expression of one’s emotions, and I just had this belief confirmed yesterday. Gazing at those paintings almost shows you an open window directly through the artist’s heart and thoughts during the times the paintings are being made. What a joy. I certainly need to go back for more.

[@letzigstudio]

Delightful! Thank you!

Thank you!

[@remsan03]

You re doing a lot of good by making these type of guided tour of art museums. Especially one as prolific as the London's National Gallery. Some of us haven't had the privilege to visit there. I hope you'll do this more often with other masterpieces. Not just paintings, but also the sculptures, East Asian arts, and decorative arts too. So yeah, definitely more art museum. I'm not much for any other kind of museums, though.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Thank you! You can see my other videos about art museums here, and you might enjoy my video about the Victoria and Albert Museum. :) kzbin.info/aero/PLLaE___1Zw9bjpM5DsF3vEy0A49YB8LMy kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4mvf5Wbgb10hKc

[@remsan03]

@@TheMuseumGuide Thank you. I will check them out. I really appreciate the depth of knowledge with which you explain every item. I still remember the way you explain the Tara statue, and the concept of Tara as emanation of Avalokiteshvara. Mind blown. lol. You rock, Jessica.

[@chrisball3778]

Another absolutely wonderful selection of very varied paintings, and a fascinating series of short art history lessons as well. Thanks for another great video. I actually went to St James's Park a couple months back, and unfortunately the pelicans were all locked up in quarantine on their island to protect them from avian flu. All except one indomitable bird that was still loose. I'm sure there's some kind of interesting story there.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

You’re very welcome! And those pelicans are real characters. 😂

[@jamesscanlon5969]

I'm loving this but at 30:30 you suggest the artist is holding the easel, when she is holding the palette.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

A slip of the tongue!

[@KerryRussellRN]

I was hoping to see the Albrecht Durer self portrait….his handling of the fur and his hair are remarkable. Maybe next time? Love what you do. Thank you.😊

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Great suggestion! Part 3?…

[@m.oldani]

Ive never seen your channel but i really enjoyed the upload. Mine is just being silly. I love art. And gush all the time. Actually i wished i lived closer to a museum or gallery.

[@m.oldani]

I like your upload. 😅

[@TheMuseumGuide]

London is always a great trip!

[@LouisHansell]

JMW Turner's "Rain Steam Speed" belongs on your list.

[@jeanproctor3663]

The National Gallery is one of my favourite galleries, but sadly I don't get many chances to go to London now. Maybe I'll need to try and remedy this next year. You've covered some of my favourite pictures here - I remember the first time I saw the Wilton Diptych, for example, and thinking how beautiful it was. Works of art are very subjective, aren't they, and can be quite polarising. I'm going to have a look at your fist episode of this series now. And yes please to a Versailles video!

[@evelynramos445]

Excellent, packed! Needing leads ro suggestions?

[@garycarpenter6433]

Yes you go ahead to Versailles I'd love to see it

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Hopefully next year! Thanks for watching.

[@pietervoogt]

Great video, thank you. But in 30:28 palette not easel

[@TheMuseumGuide]

My bad! Thank you.

[@carolineharry6605]

With reference to Ludwig Mond, I grew up in a village in the Swansea Valley in South Wales where he set up a Nickel Works which is still in operation today. It’s a big employer in the village of Clydach. His statue looks over the entrance to the site. His former mansion is currently up for sale. Many of the streets in the village are named after his daughters.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Oh that’s fascinating! Thank you!

[@j2fly1]

Nice thing

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Thank you!

[@alecblunden8615]

Westminster Hall, the Jewell House and a few minor structures also survived the Great Fire.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Different fire! The Great Fire was 1666. The fire that destroyed the Palace of Westminster was in 1834.

[@alecblunden8615]

@@TheMuseumGuide Westminster Hall etc survived both

[@TheMuseumGuide]

@@alecblunden8615 so did all of Westminster. The great fire only affected The City of London.

[@alecblunden8615]

@@TheMuseumGuide However, it is not true to say that only the Banqueting House survived.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

@@alecblunden8615 ohhhhh, I didn’t realise what video we were on! This video actually refers to yet another fire! The fire of Whitehall of 1698. The entire palace burnt down except for the Banqueting House. The fire in question did not affect Westminster Palace (fire was 1834) at all, nor is it the Great Fire (1666).

[@evelynramos445]

Turner wow

[@ymeldahickey2750]

Jessica, I’m from United States I have a painting from Monet for six years and I just realized that on the back of painting, it has a big square reading from national Gallery, London want to know if it’s real

[@TheMuseumGuide]

It sounds like a gift shop print?

[@evelynramos445]

Tune you in, smoke jackets thus more of contemporary! Stay in touch, will lead you to compliment your exceptional work!

[@GaryCarpenter-y2k]

Yes go to Versailles and don't forget about the two teachers from England who visited there I think before WW2 or after they were Maybury and Jourdan and they saw the ghosts 👻 of Marie Antoinette and her court while they were there...If you don't know who they were they made a book called I think A Trip Through Time or something like that

[@K3LLYMHENRY]

I’d love to see a video of the female artists featured in the National Gallery!

"....roof decorations...." Perhaps Not. Did you perchance mean "ceiling decorations"?? From someone, not able to revisit this wonderful gallery, I thank you for a more up to date tour.

[@TheMuseumGuide]

You’re very welcome! If the only time I misspoke was calling the ceiling the roof, I did a pretty great job, if you ask me. ;)

I don't know if it is considered 'too common' for the Monarch to handle money, but somehow it doesn't seem quite right for them to make payment using a token bearing their own image on it!

Nope!

Picasso not only treated women abominably, some of his images of women are horrific.

Too much confusion between Flemish and Duch painters

[@TheMuseumGuide]

Flemish was considered Dutch at the time, but I get your point! It’s not my area of expertise. Where was I confused?
