Can you spot them all? Artists hidden in plain sight
I think these painters had a great sense of humor drawing themselves into their paintings. They often hid in plain sight, although at times they were in very unlikely places. Why do you think they included themselves into their paintings? To leave a record? For fun? Or was it narcissistic?
About my channel:
is art boring? do old paintings induce yawns? how about a story of the painting (or the artist) told with some music and humor...would that make it better? your life will be better with art. i promise.

    Hello, everyone. This painting, "A Boy and a Girl With a Cat and an Eel" (c. 1635), is by Judith Leyster. She was a Dutch Golden Age painter, following the path of her artist father, and her work was highly regarded during her time but largely forgotten after her death. She was "rediscovered" in 1893 when scholars discovered that her paintings had been wrongly attributed to Frans Hals or to her husband, Jan Miense Molenaer. On some of her paintings, her signature was painted over and had Frans Hals's signature on them. This particular painting had various interpretations. Some argued that it depicts the Dutch proverb, "to hold an eel by the tail," meaning you don't get to hold onto something just because you have it. Others argued it could be a reference to another Dutch proverb, "he does the mischief of the cat." The eels were allegedly used at this time to lure cats so...you take your pick. Thanks for stopping by.

    Hello everyone! “Nameless and Friendless” (1857) was painted by Emily Mary Osborn. It depicts a young woman trying and failing to earn a living by selling her artwork to a print-seller in Victorian England. At this time being an artist was a trade traditionally occupied by men, and it would have been much more difficult for female artists to make a name for themselves or to make money from it…hence the title of the painting is fitting. Osborn was actively involved in the campaign for women’s rights during the mid-19th century. She was supported by wealthy patrons, including Queen Victoria, but she used her position of power to help improve the lives of women like those depicted in her paintings.

    Hello everyone, this is a painting by John Everett Millais and it's called "Vale of Rest" (1858-59). I don't know about you but I was surprised when I first saw the painting and started looking at it closely. The two nuns, so different in their demeanor and pose, in the graveyard really struck me and I read a little more about it and found out this "behind the scenes" story. Millais apparently had difficulty painting the nun who's digging and he was very frustrated. He had a model who posed for him but he just couldn't get it right and painted her and repainted her over and over again. He also drove his family crazy while at it...so his wife and sister-in-law locked away the painting in a cellar and didn't tell him where it was for weeks. Millais was initially upset but he worked on other paintings in the meantime and when they returned the painting to him eventually, he recognized right away how he had been doing it wrong and began to paint the figure the way he wanted it. So, here it is, in its glory. And if you get stuck on something (school, work, whatever), take a break. Go for a walk. Come back and probably you can save yourself and your thing (and those around you). Thanks for stopping by.

    Hello, everyone. Japonism was all the rage in the second half of the 19th century in Europe. So it's no surprise that Vincent van Gogh had access to Japanese prints and began to view them as more than a pleasant curiosity. The paintings included in the video are: 1. Self-Portrait, 1889 2. Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, 1889 3. Portrait of Julien Tanguy, 1887 4. Flowering Plum Tree (after Hiroshige), 1887 5. Paris Ilustré. Le Japón, 4º anée May 1886, Keisai Eisen 6. Courtesan (after Eisen), 1887 7. Almond Blossom, 1890 Hope you all guessed it correctly and thanks for stopping by!

    Hello everyone! “The Outcast” (1851) is a painting by Victorian artist Richard Redgrave. It depicts a scene when a daughter and her illegitimate child shows up to the door of her family on a snowy night. The stern and inflexible father refuses entry of his daughter to his “respectable” house while the rest of the family show despair and grief at her arrival/the father’s decision. Btw the painting also holds a symbol. It’s hard to see but the painting hanging on the wall is supposedly a biblical painting of Abraham casting out Hagar and Ishmael or possibly Christ and the woman taken in adultery. Do you think the painting was meant as a warning to other women or to evoke sympathy for the young woman abandoned by her own family? Thanks for stopping by.

    Hello everyone, this painting is called “No. 1 - Misfortune” and it’s the first in a series of three paintings titled, “Past and Present” (1858) by Augustus Egg. The painting captures the moment when domestic bliss is broken by a wife’s adultery. And the two other paintings show the consequences of the family several years later (not great). Well, okay, but before we blame it on one person…maybe we can question if there were other underlying issues in the marriage? Just a thought. Thanks for stopping by.

    Hello everyone, this is the story of Susanna and the elders and it was the subject of countless paintings over many centuries. I chose this particular painting by Artemisia Gentileschi who painted at least 3 versions of this story. This was painted in circa 1610 when she was only 17 years old. She was not the only female painter to have painted this subject but her painting stood out amongst mostly male painters who painted it. What do you think of the painting? The story?

    Hello everyone, what would you do if you saw a fly sitting on a painting? Would you try to swat it away? This type of painting, where a fly (or flies) is prominently featured, is called musca depicta. It’s “painted fly” in Latin. It was believed that artists painted in jest, or to symbolize the significance of even minor objects of creation, or to show your artistic talent…but some argue that the fly holds meanings like sin, corruption, or mortality (death). What do you think? Would you want a fly on your portrait to spruce things up? Pls see the description for names of the paintings. Thanks!

    Hello, everyone. Did you know this is a Leonardo da Vinci painting? Only a handful of portraits around and this one you can see in person if you’re in Poland. This painting is called “Lady with an Ermine.” As you’ve seen in the video, the lady (Cecilia Gallerani) was the mistress of Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The story is that, not surprisingly, Sforza’s wife did not like Cecilia and so Sforza had to marry her off to avoid more marital strife. The thing with the ermine is that it is drawn larger here than in real life and what it represents could be Sforza. During this time ermines were symbolized as the protector of pregnant women, which Cecilia was at the time. Hope you enjoyed the video!

God doesn't want you to worry and try to "be good" from works and own power! He loves you as you are right now, and he wants you to rest in him. Get rid of distractions (even watching videos like these) and stand still for a few moments. You will being to feel God's presence fill your heart. If you want, you can also take a pen and paper and write down any spontaneous toughts that appear in your mind, and give you peace, and who also align with god's words. You may be surprised at what you will discover! It may not be easy but you are going to get very far! Keep walking, one tiny step at a time ❤!

    Hello, everyone. This is a painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard called "The Swing" (1767). It is from the Rococo period, known as an era of scandals and frivolity. The painting was commissioned by a young courtier who wanted his mistress painted on a swing and him watching her while a bishop (the husband) pushed the swing. Fragonard did not do that, however, and painted a layman as the husband - maybe to conceal the identities of those involved?
