You're the only channel that I'll never put off to watch later. The quality you bring in these bite-sized videos is amazing and most importantly, I always learn something new. Thank you.
Her devotion is truly admirable to me. And I can't get over how beautiful the clothing of the angels is - especially the harpist on the right. Love the way that pink-purple blends into itself. Dr. Ewbank shouldn't have told me about shot silk. I've always loved that look, but didn't know what it was called. Similar feelings for the crowning angel's wings... This is a new favorite for me.
Hey! I liked the video, however I have a DISCLAIMER. The ‘convento’ is Spanish for convent, and IT WAS NOT a “center for conversion of the indigenous people” which makes it sound as a detention center, a jail, or something awful. It was a place where religious people (nuns and monks) lived and from where they interacted directly with a community, but not only on a religious level but also a social one. The indigenous people not only learned about theology and the Christian Faith but also learned to read and write, they were provided medical care as the conventos also included areas to treat the sick. Another things is that many of the native languages were given alphabets and recorded into writing in these convents and the native languages were taught as well. I just named a few things that were the uses of these convents, but there are more. Overall these convents bore witness to society’s problems and needs and where the place were these problems and needs were faced and dealt with by the community of religious and laymen. I wanted to clarify because when reading the video’s definition of ‘convento’ and then seeing a picture of a tortured Christ for a few secs you are left with the idea that the ‘convento’ was a place where they tortured the natives or something along those lines. I’m just giving some context. :)

fantastic work. love this channel. it does the quality of work that channels like the Met ought to be doing (but doesn’t).
I live in Mexico City and seeing Smarthistory here makes me excited!
"What does the music of heaven sound like?" That is a wonderful question. It's heartwarming to ponder the possibilities.

Well done. Thanks for staying away from Protestant bigotry and just informing us of the truth as seen by the artist!
Best channel on RUclips ever.
I miss paintings on walls.... They should be in style again.☺ 🖌
@Carmen Freeman You can see paintings on walls. Just go to East Los Angeles and you will see them.
Gracias
Great video. Could you give dimensions in future videos? The shots with people give some idea of scale but numbers are less ambiguous.
