Your series are just untouchable by anything else on You Tube.
Thank you so very much! I'm honored.
One of the reasons why the Flemish Primitives achieved such fine and fluent gradations is the build up of the carrier. They used well weathered wood (oak) and a large number of thin gesso layers that were sanded in between. This made the painting ground extremely flat and even - almost like ceramic. I have learned this technique in my restauration classes where we had to copy the work of a Flemish Primitive from start to finish, including the preparation of the carrier.
Van Eyck is my favorite. On a technical level, no one comes close. When thinking about the greatest painter ever, we want to think Rembrandt or Van Gogh is the best. But once you study Van Eykes collection, that little voice in your head says his name when thinking about the master of masters. It's hard to wrap your head around the level of talent that someone had hundreds and hundreds of years ago. The best painters of today cannot duplicate textures like he did...and he did it with such primitive resources. There are good painters and great painters and even masters, then, there's Van Eyck. He was that good. IMO Great video!
Caravaggio?
@@outlawtupac Phenomenal talent
"Van Eyck is my favorite. On a technical level, no one comes close"
Van Eyck is okay. If someone gave me one of his paintings I could find a spot for it. But he's no Thomas Kinkade.
@@donmiller2908 lol. Kinkade? That's interesting.
@@patrickcharles7190 😁
What a wonderful segment. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the subject matter. From my subjective perspective, no one has ever come close to the magnitude of mastery of Jan van Eyck. In my view, he is the ultimate God in the fine arts realm of painting. Conversely, there are many Titian-esque artists.
He's one of my favorites as well...incredible mastery of the medium.
When new Jill Poyard video comes out, I feel happy
Long time without one of your wonderful videos. Marvelous!
I wish it didn’t take me so long! But part two of this series will hopefully be out late Jan or Feb
So many paintings I’ve never seen before. You’ve given me a new appreciation for these painters.
Wonderful!
Having been a traditional oil artist for too many years to contemplate (and originally a picture restorer, having trained under a long established business) I learn so much from Jill's videos and knowledge. Thank you so much.
I consider that a high compliment, Chris - Thank you!
I can't believe that i watched this video for free! Incredible!
Thank you very mutch for this opportunity to understand our long gone artist technique
Yes this painting by VanEyck is exquisite. An absolute favorite!
It's a good day when you upload a video. Every one is an education. Love them all, and have watched them all many times over. :)
Jill, I am ALWAYS amazed @ how "Perfect" these paintings are! Jan & Eliz L. Vigee-Lebrun 's paintings are near a mirror of the subjects......I can't imagine how these are done!
I know. Such amazing artists....
Great work Jill! As always, you never disappoint. Thanks for another great history lesson.
Glad you enjoyed it, Diane!
I have studied arts but I think that I'm learning more now with your videos than at the time with books. Wonderful job as always, your work is perfect
How nice! I'm flattered...
Great video. Very beautiful.
Wonderful insight, thankyou
I am so happy that I can watch this video in Korean subtitles🥹
Another brilliant video covering the Master Works of a few of the best artists of the late Renaissance period. My personal favorite of the masters presented, is Jan van Eyck I love his painting of the 'Arnolfini Portrait', dated 1434. It depicts a wealthy couple standing with their small dog in the bed chamber. Many people believe that the young woman is pregnant because of the way her green dress is gathered at her mid-section, but this is not the case. This painting is all about the display of new wealth accumulated at the time. There are several keys in this painting that point to this ostentatious show of money: 1st is the small dog which indicates enough wealth to support not only a lavish lifestyle, but also a pet at a time when many people were starving in the streets; 2nd is the series of oranges which lie strewn about the dresser and window sill, oranges were very rare at that time and only a handful of the very rich could afford them; 3rd is young woman’s green dressing gown which is made of, as was the custom of the very rich during that period, an overabundance of material, such that in order to walk she had to gather the excess around her waistline. Only the very wealthy could afford such an extravagance mode of dress.
Van Eyck paintings are almost
600 years old! It just blows my mind they still exists, let alone in such fine conditions
That always hits me as well...
Idk art history but the voice is soothing and the video transitions are pretty nice , makes it easier for me to listen n watch
Thank you very much Jill; such a great help for artists who, like me, rely in the great artists of the past to make ourselves the best works possible.
Glad you enjoyed it, Delores
Thank you, this is amazing. I can't wait for part 2!
I was so relieved to find this video. So calm and exquisite a presentation.
Thank you - so nice hear that.
I will listen to her voice all day describing how she paint her house.
Ok - there is the art, beautiful, and the explanations, amazing and deep, but then there is your voice... enthralling!
Thank you, Cedric...
Your videos are amazing and so instructive! Even after years of painting I still find that their things I didn't know. Thank you!
Thank you so much - that means a lot, Sharon.
Your presentations enlighten us and are a TRUE DELIGHT Jill.
I could listen to you for hours on end without getting bored 😌 Thank you for this
So kind of you - thank you.
Jill, you are the best; this art documentary is one of the best I have ever seen. It's one of those rare to find jewels that you treasure for the rest of your life.
That is so kind of you, Carlos. Thank you for that - I'm honored.

Absolutely loved this. Can't wait for the analysis on Turner, an artist I've become fascinated with recently
I'm hoping to get the next one out within a few days, actually. Hope you enjoy it
Remarkably good. I thought I knew a lot, but you gently and modestly expanded my knowledge. I will look out for your work.
Excellent content as always.Thanks a mill.
Superb Jill. Thank you for all the work you've put into making this series. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks so much, Steve!
Jill this is nothing short of perfect. The poetic music, your voice, the depth of the biographies and techniques, all of it flowing beautifully...this is a work of art as much as it is a documentary...very well done
That is so appreciated. Thank you so very much.
Great job. Thank you!
I love this! I'm so happy I found your channel. Thank you for all the work you obviously put into it. It's clear that it's your passion.
Welcome to my channel, David!
Loved this! It's so interesting to hear about not just the subject of these works but the techniques used by the authors. Beautiful images edited in the video as well. The pacing of your narration is superb.
Can't wait for part two.
Glad you enjoyed it, Leandro!
This was amazing. Thank you!!!
Thank you Jill! I learn so much from you. You inspire me to try new things and explore new ideas, or rather “old ideas.” I look forward to your videos like a gift excited to open up and discover something amazing. I can’t get enough of your lessons. All the best.
What a wonderful comment, Liliana! It means so much. Thank you.
Learning so much! Thank you
Great offering, e.g. knowledge and elocution. Love the tone of your voice
Loves this
Thank U very much.
This was extremely beatiful and accurate.
Very educational, thank you for sharing.
Excellent accurate and HD detailed
This just got recommended to me by youtube and I loved it. I'm early into my art history degree but I'm so excited to be learning about all of this. The way you explain things makes much more sense than reading it in a textbook. It's all so fascinating and beautiful. I definitely gotta watch the next two parts.
That's so wonderful to hear, FaerieGrrl. Glad you enjoyed it!
Very impressive work love so very much appreciate you sharing.
Thats really amazing and precious info
Fascinating. It's made me look at how I construct a painting. Thank you. I'm really enjoying your channel.
love these vid!
wow, thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Achingly beautiful cinematography. I learned so much just now that my only criticism is that there are just three parts!
Very flattered, Christopher - So glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful voice...
Awesome work! The brilliance of the colors is the same process you see in Holbein as well and many panel painters specifically. Its as simple as tempera oil emulsions. You said as much in the video and that was the correct answer. They would heighten colors at the end of the process with tempera painted into an oil layer. You get much brighter pure color that way. Also I tend to think when you make pigments by hand like they use to they were a lot more pure and they probably had a mix of egg and oil in them.
Thank you! I've actually been wanting to experiment with adding egg to my own oil paints after reading about some of the Masters who did that. It sounds like it could actually be part of the reason some pieces have aged so well. Have you encountered that as well?
Awesome! Very informative and solid narration. A+ visuals.
I loved the video
great video!!! Thank you!!
Awesome..you really made this so simple and understandable. Thanks so much
Jill Poyerd, you really know your stuff. Your videos are all superb - your analysis is spot on, and explanations very clear. Thanks for this.
Thank you, Corinne
Looking forward to more your work! This video is so well made!
Thank you!
Thank you for this wonderfully informative video. I live in DC and visit the NGA almost every weekend. Interesting backstory about the Van Eyck. Andrew Mellon (who founded the NGA) purchased this painting, along with several other works of art (most notably, Raphael’s Alba Madonna) in the early 1930s during a secret sale by the Soviet government. Stalin ordered the Hermitage to sell certain works of art to raise money for the USSR’s Five Year Plan. Mellon later donated these works of art (and other works of art in his private collection) to the US government (specifically to be housed in the NGA when it was built in the late 1930s)
That's a wonderful story, Ally. I knew Mellon had donated many works, but not all of the details and certainly not that it included the van Eyck. Interesting!
@@JillPoyerdFineArt I learned about the Hermitage sale during a docent tour, and then Googled for more info. In addition to the van Eyck and Raphael, the Mellon acquisition from the Hermitage included works of art by van Dyck, Rembrandt, Hals, Titian, Botticelli, etc that were all donated to the NGA. If anybody is interested, there is a Wikipedia entry about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_sale_of_Hermitage_paintings. There’s also a book on the subject: “Selling Russia's Treasures: The Soviet Trade in Nationalized Art” by Natalya Semyonova
Awesome video!
Judging by what you said regarding proteins in the painting and it being so well preserved, it could have been Casein paint that Van Eyck used.
Great video
@Jill Poyerd Fine Art Nice of you to see, for Jan Van Eyck, you didn't mention 'Belgium' as it didn't exist yet (ofcourse) but Flanders did, in the 1400's@
Muy bueno!
Thank you
Thank you for this incredibly well done and detailed presentation. I wish my art history professors were like you.
How kind! Thank you
@@JillPoyerdFineArt I cannot wait to see more of your videos. BTW your art is magnificent too. You are such a treasure. I am so grateful to the internet algorithm that led me to you. 💐💐💐
Lovely video
very nice content.. i love learning art through your channel..
your voice are so cool and sweet as it was made by masters...
So kind - thank you
That's so informative for a hobby painter like me! Thanks a lot for this great Art lesson!
Nice narration and good technical info.
I just hit the bell! Can't wait to watch the next one :) Wonderful production on my favorite subject, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare and make this video. So interesting and informative. Makes me wish for a visit to a museum soon.
Let’s hope life can return to normal soon. Glad you enjoyed it!
So so beautiful love your videos!❤️
Thank you, Elizabeth
I hit like even before I watched the video 😊 that much I like and trust the information you put in your videos , thank you so much for the hard work and lovely enjoyable lessons
How nice! I'm glad you enjoy them
I saw your other comment about your translation of the videos, but can't find the comment now. I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely do remember you and your comment. It really means a lot to me - quite an honor.
Jill, you are so fantastic with all that you do. In my small way I do try to steer members of many of my online art and photo groups to look at your RUclips work and check out your Udemy courses. If any art student (officially) or someone who just wants to know more about art would view you work, They would be so enlightened.
Now, even if someone was not necessarily interested in the arts they would benefit from listening to these projects. Your calm soothing and peaceful voice would allow many to cut back on their anxiety medication. You are special. You are Jill.
Thank you so much, Michael. That means so much. It sounds like just words, but I mean it....makes my work so rewarding to read comments like yours.
I advise everyone to watch David Hockney's documentary "Secret Knowledge" (it's here on RUclips). This one really reveals Jan van Eyck's secret to making such detailed drawings. However, I really liked this video for talking about the way he used oil in his paintings.
I love to listen to your videos while I paint
How nice!
