- Joseph Wright was a British painter who is remembered for his paintings which demonstrate scientific concepts and experiments. A man of the enlightenment, Wright was keenly aware of the new ideas of his day and his art shows us this in detail. Wrights excellent paintings illustrate the links between the arts and the sciences.

Finally managed to get time to make a new video! Sorry it took so long, my schedule for the last few months has been hectic. Next one won't take nearly so long! Also, 100 subscribers! thank you all so much! Can't believe there's that many people subbed, it's a great encouragement to keep going!
If anyone has any comments or feedback or suggestions I'd love to hear it. Next few videos are in the works, Topics are Jack Yeats and Paul Henry, Goya, El Greco, a short analysis of Brian o Doherty's Inside the white cube essays and a (possibly much longer) video on the CIAs purported influence on Abstract Expressionism. Watch this space and a big thank you to everyone again!
Arts Hole nice work, keep it up !
Keep it up ! Nice videos
Thanks for this nice video. I was mesmerized by his painting Moonlight Landscape at the Ringling Museum in Florida. I really liked the serenity and tranquility he conveyed. And from your video, I learned more about his artworks. It seems his strong contrast between light and dark was highly influenced by the Baroque art style , and Dutch genre painting. I really like your channel, please share more often. Thanks !
Besides all the philosophical explanations, I am even more fascinated by Wright's use of light... He was able to use the indirect light in his paintings to expound on the things in the surroundings, rather than on the source of light itself... Perhaps the best example was in his "Phosphorous" painting of Brandt, as well as his "Orrery" and the "Bell Jar" one... But, although the light source was the focus and the point of both the "Alchemist and discovery of Phosphorous" and the "Foundry," he still was able to use that light to depict the characters and surroundings in the area well... One other thing, I also disagree with the lecturer as to the identity of the "Philosopher" in the "Bell Jar" painting... I believe it was meant to depict Newton, who WAS a philosopher, as we have learned more recently, but was also strict and dispassionate about his research... much as the Philosopher in the painting seems to be...
This is such a great series, I love the delivery and sense of humour
Cheers!
We also have a college and a few other things named after Joseph wright. I can't say there are many other reasons for stopping here rather than passing straight through! The paintings really are impressive in real life.
I´m an amateur painter and is really nice found videos like this. Don`t stop making this content, too many people who really try to understand art and part of our history this kind of video is really important. I felt really happy when i watch your video from Courbet!!
Thanks! That's really nice to hear, I will definitely keep making videos if people like them
Learning a lot, thank you for all the time and effort. Must be a lot of work. Btw You have a great voice, smart but still friendly and approachable, keeps things from getting dull. Thanks again.
Thank you for the kind words, It's a bit of work to make them alright, but glad to do it if people get something out of them
you have a very humorous way of telling these stories...
Thanks!
Thanks
I like your voice :) please make more videos like this one!
Thanks! I will, there are more coming soon :)
I have seen the same effect regarding the clouds behind the moon.
I've actually seen it myself a good few times since I made this, both in real life and many paintings, must not be as uncommon as I assumed!
perhaps Wright was right. Love your channel!
Thank you!
Good video👍🏼
Thanks 👍
From what I understand , he wasn’t actually a member of the Lunar Society
