Thank you for this helpful video--useful distilled information about Artist. Keep making the vids, you're helping many students and people alike. Small tip: decrease background music so that we can listen and hear your voice more intently.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I've been playing with the settings more to find the right level, thank you for the advice! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Some years ago I was touring Hearst Castle and we went into a room that had a small Gothic painting hanging on the wall. The tour guide causally mentioned that it was painted by Duccio and that the Getty Museum had previously offered the Hearst estate $60 million for it and was refused. I was astonished that such a small painting would be worth that much but given that at most 15 works by the artist survive it rather makes sense.
What a fascinating story! I wouldn't be surprised that the Getty offered so much. The one at the Met was purchased for $45 million! Thank you so much for the comment, I'm going to look up the Hearst Castle one!
