I hope we can face all our demons with the calmness of St Anthony

[@lonerimortal8]

there is a indie RPG game who's artstyle is directly inspired by hieronymus bosch's art. the game is called "Brutal Orchestra" and I strongly recomend to give it a look, it's a hidden gem.

[@UsernameDell]

This is like one of the only channels on here that makes me stop everything I'm doing and just watch the vid. Quality stuff mate :D Keep it up pal !

[@sl3848]

It would be quite useful if the video descriptions contained the names of the works referenced during the video. Thanks for the video!

[@martijnvanweele6204]

It should be noted that the burning buildings in the background of Bosch's _Temptation_ are not just a village, but likely a monastery, specifically one of the Hospital Brothers of Saint Anthony. The burning and collapsing tower bears a T-shaped cross, or Saint Anthony's cross. Saint Anthony himself also bears this T-shaped cross on his sleeve.

I was hoping for Beksiński this Halloween but still very insightful 👏 many thanks

[@darior3200]

I love these creepy artworks

[@33Donner77]

Thanks. Was not aware of the 13 year old Michaelangelo painting.

[@aliasbbbbb]

we love you canvas

[@TheCanvasArtHistory]

Thank you!!!

[@rivergreyopal]

Yo all of these paintings would make sick death metal album covers

[@steverlfs]

One of your best videos! Thanx for introducing me to Van Craesbeeck! Speaking of Max Ernst, could you do a video on "Une Semaine de Bonte"?

[@tlm2096]

Keep up the fantastic work!

[@Cree8Ball]

7:06 he's just like me fr

[@Maddy-nw8vu]

Excellent commentary. Your videos are so refined and enjoyable....

[@piotrziemba2257]

still waiting for beksinski video from you , you're perfect guy to cover that artist

[@jacodelangevandyk]

thank you!

[@joecool7035]

very interesting insights. Thanks a lot

[@CSGraves]

I think the afflicted man in one painting was suffering erysipelas rather than ergotism... but I'm no doctor!

[@akramsaidi2849]

Wonderful !

[@Molech996]

There’s also another version of the temptation of St. Anthony painted by Salvator Rosa.

[@looselytelling]

Happy Halloween (the best time of year, don't @ me)

[@baileystARTstuff]

you folks been talking to solar sands or something?

[@jub7345]

St Anthonys temptations were very real and each man faces them. The reason these paintings are so popular is because everyone knows its true.

[@archaic1]

wow

[@cht2162]

Fantastamigoria

[@MrEHD-fj1bz]

do men have the total control over the body and soul and decision? or we are just mere animals sheppard by our desires to depotcharies and atrocities? where is the line that separate between the self the desires? do I realy want to eat this hotdog because I want to? or because my desires are takenover me? what about mustard ,do I really need it? so maeny questions..

[@DEPARTMENTOFREDUNDANCYDEPT]

It tells you all you need to know about the misogyny and sex obsessions of religion when you see that in many of these paintings the only allowable way to depict naked women is to show them being flung into hell.

[@fokusnikfm]

Great video, bad conclusion. But anyways thank u 🙏

This was very informative. Never realized that St. Anthony could be such a surrealist theme. Thanks!

[@uiopclown8226]

I swear for a second I thought that was Markiplier

[@TheCanvasArtHistory]

Only the first part of my 4-step plan to turn the Markiplier fanbase into art historians

[@scrunglylittleguy]

Fair enough

[@unavailablename2076]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@TheCanvasArtHistory step 1: lure markiplier fans with thumbnails Step 2: make yet another well made and articulated video Step 3: ????? Step 4: 35 million new subscribers

[@anothersettlementneedsyour9628]

The engraving looks and works so much better than the painting. The painting is like Netflix adaptation.

[@camifasi1694]

probably because a middle schooler painted it 😭😭

[@5ym0n]

C'est Très intéressant et éducatif en même temps.

[@gerarddearie-zd2gb]

Are there many religious traditions prior to the existence of reliable birth control and antibiotics which didn't get people to repress their sexual desires? Perhaps it's best not suffuse your critiques with so much presentism.

[@GarrettBurcham]

Great video. Dali’s version is my favorite painting of all time for now. It was great to learn more about its creation and meaning

[@BitterDawn]

Such beautiful, dark and existential art. I wasn't familiar with the theme of St.Anthony despite having seen some of those but it got me very intrigued. Great for hallow's eve, and that being said, it's a good night for some hedonism and practice magick, take on the form of devils, drink wine and sin. 🤘💀🤘

[@juliebumbova8938]

St. Anthony was like: 🙈🙉

[@AmorSciendi]

I got to see this one in person at a big Bosch show that came through Milan last year. It's remarkable. Truly. Great video as always.

[@refugeinthewind]

Superb and mind-blowing. Et encore, merci ...😱🎃😱

[@bzxshor67mpts]

history is showing us that very little has changed in the consciousness of man and the need for well developed institutions to protect us from ourselves. The problem is finding "honest man" to guide these institutions .Will it ever happen?

[@jessuh7500]

can you please show the name of the artist and date it was painted when you're introducing an artwork? It makes everything a lot easier. Especially because i dont understand your dutch pronunciation

[@Kokorara-es2vr]

perhaps captions would help? I quite enjoy the way artworks are depicted.

[@magicalelvishman]

From artists, I sometimes get a sense that sexuality in general and the female form in particular are a temptation because of the way men's imaginative preoccupation with sexual fantasy can be a barrier to other themes of focused creativity. There's also its usefulness as a tool for propaganda and desire production, which is I think part of what you're pointing to with the modernity of Dali's rendition. This interpretation doesn't necessarily suggest the artists didn't harbor sexist and sex negative beliefs and values, or that the paintings themselves didn't reinforce them, but for me it can in some cases salvage this use of the image if not wholly salvating it. As Murakami puts it when his mind confronts him with something like Lolita's dust jacket: "Hot all right" I echo. Here we go again, I think--again. All day long it's going to be females striking up conversations with me, is it?"

[@FTmu5]

Amazing work as always! Btw who's the artist of the painting you're showing at 9:12 ?

[@sawad8109]

Great presentation! Great montage and background music. Happy Haloween M. Canvas

[@MegadoseTheOutsiderArtist]

I wanted to tell everyone to check on their subscription to the channel cuz for some reason I was unsubscribed. I am glad I checked. Weird

[@JCarrera27]

👏🖤

[@XotoriD4rak]

The ones with the naked women are awesome

[@lenox7469]

please do enrico robusti!!

[@MySerpentine]

Bosch is so wild :)

[@vaiyaktikasolarbeam1906]

thanks! thats all i want to say

[@valentinarulloni9265]

Amazing video. Thank you so much for showing us such wondrous words through your very special lense

[@Flameops]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!

[@cedarraine7829]

These works remind me of earth

[@daviddyephotography]

I find the long history of attempts to supress sexuality to extremely fascinating as to why humanity strives so hard to repress such a basic human function

[@brianbuch1]

And always women are the tempters, literally in many of these paintings, demons. Made to represent not just desire, but evil and the antithesis of holiness. What a charade!

[@daviddyephotography]

@@brianbuch1 and nothing has changed over the centuries

[@Johnnysmithy24]

Because giving in to hedonistic desires usually leads to bad and empty outcomes. It’s a sign of strength and discipline, which are admirable qualities. Would you not tell a married man to repress inappropriate sexual desires?

[@daviddyephotography]

@@Johnnysmithy24 the outcomes associated with denial of our sexuality are far worse to humanity, repression of natural biological functions never end well
