The treasure of HMS Thetis
On 5 December 1830 the Royal Navy frigate HMS Thetis was wrecked on Cape Frio, Brazil, with the loss of more than 20 of her crew. She was carrying a large amount of treasure from South America to Britain, and it was thought that this valuable cargo had been lost along with the ship. However, in a daring and dramatic salvage operation carried out in the most difficult of circumstances, almost all the treasure was eventually recovered. This video, published on the 194th anniversary of the loss of the Thetis, tells the story of the ship, the wreck, and the salvage.

Adorée Villany: the scandal of the 'nude dancer'
Просмотров 1002 месяца назад
Adorée Villany was an early 20th-century dancer whose act, even in an era of daring innovation in dance, stood out for its provocative nature. She danced 'unclothed', and her career became a succès de scandale involving arrests, court cases and sensational press coverage. Villany was more than a lurid news story, however: she was an innovative, highly creative dancer, and an artist of integrity...

The face of "Marie" may indeed be that of Valtesse, but the model for the body was reportedly Ellen Andree.
Genius, le Guerchin.
True.
Interesting story. Thanks
Thank you!
so interesting :)
Thank you!
come on im not saying she deserves violence but we all got to admit she was a Hoeeeeeee
Thank you so much for providing information on this painting. My grandparents had a framed print of this hanging in their living room over the sofa for over 40 years. I have it now and have looked online from time to time, trying to find out more about it. I love the light in the landscape and the calmness of the interior. My mom and aunt travel often together, so this piece is very nostalgic for me. Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely comment! Nice to know about the personal significance of this painting for you, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for this interesting history which includes my favourite Turner painting
Glad you liked the video, thank you.
I wonder if this inspired "The March of Dimes" to fund a cure to polio?
Maybe there is a connection - interesting question!
Such a cool story. We need more kids like her. Thank you for sharing this piece of American history.🇺🇸
Thank you for your comment. Her story needs to be better known, I think.
Doesn't this remind you of a young girl who recently has been telling of how capitalists had destroyed her world with fossil fuels and global warming. A 1914 Greta Thunberg. And oddly a pandemic occurred shortly thereafter....
Modern parallels definitely come to mind ... thank you for your comment.
A story worth hearing. Liked and shared. Thanks for posting.
Many thanks!
She had beautiful breast.
I work on labels at the Cleveland Museum of Art and this video has been brought to our attention. The information has been rewritten and will change soon.
Interesting news, thank you!
I see the change has been made and the argand lamp is gone, on the CMA website at least, which is presumably mirrored in the labels. The account is given is much more balanced now. Good to see this action from the CMA.
@ As a graphic designer I handle labels and can assure you the label change was made asap (a day after) this video was brought to our attention. We all had a good laugh. Thank you!
@@eyeseyeseyeseyeseyeseyes Thank you, that's great to know!
Thank you so much for this informentive history on this women painter. I saw her painting at the tate britain. It stood out , that a women at this time was intrested in this subject. Surrounded by other women painters.. I remembered her name. 🙌🤝
Thank you for your lovely comment. She was an unusual and remarkable painter, and very much deserves to be better remembered.🙏
Brilliant! This might be my favorite painting. Makes me think of Edith Södergran’s poem Vierge modern.
What a complex poem that is. Thank you for your comment, glad you liked the video.
You did a great job explaining these beautiful paintings. I'm an old retired carpenter and I always wanted to try my hand at painting when I stopped working. I remember thinking, how hard can it be? Well, I must have hit my thumb too many times with my hammer because I just can't do it. Painting a picture that looks good takes real talent. Some people have it and some people don't.
It's always worth trying though! Talent is nothing without a willingness to try, and to work. Thank you for your lovely comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Splendid ❤
Thank you!
The “SALON” is alive and well in the New York Art Scene….with ONE distinctive difference….The Paris “SALON” had at least some artistic standards. New York Shit is just monetary manipulation.
Ensure. Not Insure
I truly loved and admired you detailed video! I randomly found this and im so glad i did! This video contains so much interesting infromation and the way you share it with us is so serene and enjoyable to watch! Im so so grateful i found your chanel! ♥
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much!
I just find it so fascinating and i know nothing about paintings
Glad you liked it! Thank you for your comment.
It gives great incentives to reread Alfred de Vigny’s poem « Le bain » (Fragment de Suzanne au bain). Santerre scenography’s choice seems close to the narrative’s treatment of the french poet. Thanks a lot! :)
Yes, I must read that Alfred de Vigny's poem, thank you for the suggestion. Glad you liked the film, thank you!
An artist I'm glad to be made aware of! Thank You!
Thank you! She is very much an artist worth knowing.
How wonderful to see a different perspective of Van Gogh to that usually presented! Thank You!
Thank you so much!
A fascinating commentary as usual. One point on the garments mentioned: the chemise was historically always worn next to the body and under the corset, to protect the skin from the clips and laces.
Thank you - and thanks for that clarification. Period female clothing is a complicated business!
Lovely video! Very thoughtful and insightful. I have also studied Van Gogh extensively and this is a fresh perspective. Well done!
Lovely comment and much appreciated, thank you!
Lighting in the drawing studio is interesting; is it to emphasize chiaroscuro?
Thanks for the comment/question - just to clarify, which part of the video are you referring to?
@@arthistorical 1:34 I notice some sort of a spotlight on the model.
You have such a unique way of telling a story. You make art history interesting.
@@vivie_jones Yes, I suspect it's a gas lamp with a large reflector that can be adjusted to change the effects of light and shadow on the model (as well as simply to improve the light levels for the artists to work by, when daylight was not available).
@@vivie_jones Thank you! It makes such a difference to have positive feedback, really appreciated.
She was so talented. Love this video and her work! :)
She was a wonderful artist and I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for your comment!
Extremely interesting! Thank you a lot!
Thank you!
Thank you so much. Absolutely great and well researched! Greetings from Holland. There is a major Heemskerck exhibition during summer 2024 in Berlin.
Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed the video. I was just reading about the Berlin exhibition which looks excellent. Great to see more attention being paid to Heemskerck.
@@arthistoricalHis two Rome sketchbooks are preserved in Berlin. They are the basis for his later work. And for many other artists who came after him, especially in the Netherlands. The sixteenth-century artists from the Netherlands are often snowed under by our seventeenth-century art. Although they were the ones who brought art from the south, Italy, to the north, especially Van Heemskerck and, earlier still, his master Jan van Scorel, laying the foundation for the seventeenth century. I am grateful that you have paid such careful attention to this artist. The choice of the painting with Jerome, as a transitional figure from Antiquity to Christianity, was excellent and very well described.
I appreciate the way you source original period maps for your videos, instead of just using google maps like a lot of other creators. Adds extra authenticity and interest.
Great video, please turn up the volume
Thanks - sound is always a problem, my apologies if this one is too quiet.
I love Dismorr's work, from all through her tragically-short career. This was a very thorough and engaging overview, in under 10 minutes. Thank You for posting it!
Very kind, thank you
Very well delivered information and fabulous to have image sources and credits to end. Thank you.
Many thanks for your kind comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and it's especially nice to hear that the provision of sources and credits is appreciated, as I think that is very important.
Quite a marvelous scene - thank you for the introduction!
Thank you for your comment! It is a wonderful painting, one of my favourites.
Superb! A wonderfully illustrated and concise history - and Most Enlightening. Thank you
Thank you! That's really encouraging. Glad you liked the video.
Thank u 4 that succinct description, has the canvas got a makers name or logo ,what frames are linked to it ? Try X-raying it again.What about the stretcher has it ever been removed ?
Thank you - I would like to know the answers to those questions as well! These are things the National Gallery will need to look into, there is no information about them that I could find at the moment.
Get well soon Marc! Looking forward to your new videos!
Very kind, thank you!
Thank you for posting.
Thank you!
Thank you - an excellent review of a hauntingly beautiful work.
Thank you. It's a wonderful painting, hardly scratched the surface here.
Very interesting video, and I really appreciate the varied images, especially the maps of Rome - I've always greatly admired Bernini's work, so this unpleasant episode somewhat lowers him in my estimation, but I daresay there's very few famous men in history who didn't have unsavoury sides... Oddly, I just looked at Bernini's Wikipedia page to see how this was presented and it states that the servant was imprisoned, though no specific footnote is given for this - I wonder where the discrepancy comes from...
Thank you for the kind comments, I'm glad you liked the film. Sarah McPhee writes that the servant was exiled (p48 of "Bernini's Beloved") and cites the biography of Bernini by his son Domenico as the source, and I think if he had been imprisoned she would have included this detail with its supporting evidence. But the servant was presumably arrested, and may have been confined before being exiled, and this may be the origin of reports of imprisonment.
Thank you for this explanation, clearly McPhee's book is the most reliable source in this matter. Interestingly, the Wikipedia page for Costanza Piccolomini Bonarelli also states that the servant was exiled (McPhee's book is the sole reference for this entire page) so clearly the Bernini page is at fault - just goes to show, once again, not to uncritically trust everything one reads on Wikipedia :)
