Great Art Explained: Thomas Gainsborough 0036am 9.9.23 did you create a Blakean skit? i wondered. as he needs to be put to bed. i am sick of listening to folk harp on about Blake.... though being compared to a scrotal bag is, perhaps, something Mr b would impart to the limp wristed limp phallus laden nouveau riche... are we interested in the blots and blurs of the larded artistes of the past? it seems so...
This channel takes paintings that I wouldn't look at twice in a museum and has me binging videos about them for hours. If every gallery had Great Art Explained level commentary it would change the art world!
I’ve actually been to a museum, the Albertina in Vienna (Austria), that had a separate screening room within a Basquiat exibition, showing the Great Art Explained video about basquiat!
Mr and Mrs Andrews looked down on Gainsborough as he painted their true identities on the canvas. They also thought Gainsborough's genius could be bought, hidden and discarded just as they believed they could own a farmland and be a master of many human beings. To their surprise, centuries later, we see them through Gainsborough's eyes. The triumph of art and genius over wealth and social class, once again. Thank you so much Mr. Payne. What a pleasure every time!
Honestly, you can really tell that Gainsborough disliked portraiture and preferred landscapes. The people in his paintings are a bit boring and dull, while I find his backgrounds incredibly beautiful and much more vibrant than the subjects in front of them.
Plus, as James points out, Gainsborough lavished attention on painting the _fabrics_ the subjects wore as if the people themselves didn’t interest him. I’d wonder if that was (1) because of his familiarity with the materials as his father was a weaver and trader in fine fabrics so he focused on them (he would know if the detail was somehow wrong) _or_ (2) so that he could show off his technical skill at rendering the fabrics (probably his clients appreciated that) _or_ (3) some sort of subtle jab at the material opulence his clients enjoyed-or maybe some combination of all of them.
I'm constantly amazed by how oblivious I am to any and all subtext in paintings and would need an explanation video like this for literally anything I view. This was super interesting to watch. Thank you so much
This channel is the reason I developed a love for art. I took a trip to Chicago last month and had the opportunity to stand in front of Nighthawks, A Sunday on La Grand Jatte, Van Gogh's Bedroom, many excellent paintings by Georgia O'Keefe, as well as many other amazing pieces of art. If it weren't for this channel I would have never gone to the Art Institute, and if I had, I certainly wouldn't have appreciated the works as much as I did. Thank you James, you are the 1 RUclipsr I am truly excited to see popup in my subscription feed
Wonderful comment! I've been inspired by this channel to start my weekends by visiting a new museum or art gallery after work on Fridays (last week was The Whitney Museum, NYC). Maybe I'll run into James one day (I'll certainly recognize his voice)!!!
@10:55, the sly insult of the drooping gun alongside the game bag, plus the jackass symbolism, has now made Gainsborough one of my favorite artists of all time. His skill at capturing the nuanced light and color in the lay and folds of fabric is nothing short of amazing. Thank you, James, another brilliant presentation. ♥
This channel has been helping me through a really really rough time. Being able to dive into a niche topic I’m interested in made by someone who is so clearly passionate about it is a wonderful experience, thank you James.
I so appreciate that you’re digging into Gainsborough in a way that’s accessible. Sometimes paintings say a lot more about the painter, the sitters, the history, or intrigue of the time than we can pick up at first glance! Another marvelous video!
I distinctly remember laughing out loud when I saw this in the NPG. “Her face!”, I said to my wife. She pointed out it was unfinished, and postulated that it was because she saw what he painted, and stopped paying him for it. Our honeymoon, it was, and I remember this so well, now, like it happened yesterday and not 12 years ago next week.
@@matanyaholmes3964 Thanks so much for your kind words! For my part, it took a couple of marriages to get this one right. We think it’s important that we go on long walks together every day, dreaming and making plans for the future. We also work together, and we prioritize clear divisions between work and life. Respect and listening! Bless you and yours!
Another brilliant dissection James. In fifteen minutes you reveal the nature of Thomas Gainsborough's oeuvre in a succinct and insightful way. It really helps! Thanks so much.
Fascinating! The faces are unsettling in a way - especially Mr Andrews I would say. Close up it looks rather bland, though oddly asymmetrical, but from a distance I'd say his demeanor comes across as even more contemptuous than his wife's. It's a painting that looks quite different depending on the distance of the viewer. Perhaps another way that Gainsborough communicated how differently they were to the people close to them, and the people removed from them.
I find the art world so intimidating. This channel explains these masterpieces in a way that is accessible. I love learning about the artist, the historical context and reception of each piece. James’s narration exudes genuine passion and knowledge of the masterpieces. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for art.
Fortunate to have seen some of his most famous paintings at the Huntington Library & Museum in California but after watching your video I hope to return with this new appreciation. Thank you, James. This is my favorite RUclips channel.
I recently visited the National Gallery and must have just walked by this painting without a second glance. Thanks to your video, I want to return and take another look. It also makes me want to look more closely at every work whenever I visit an art gallery. Your videos are constantly educational and entertaining. One of the best channels on RUclips, without a doubt.
I really enjoy your presentations, James. I live in Chicago and have been to the Art Institute several times. It is so helpful to have an expert like you explain all the nuances and background story. Having been to the Salvador Dali museum in St. Petersburg I was blown away by all he had done. A guide helped us understand each painting. Since then I have been watching all of your features. It is really helping me to appreciate Great Art ! Thank you.
Well, even if this particular painting was not my cup of tea when i saw it while visiting London, i found his landscape choices and beauty astounding! And now i know why... And all that subtext! It really flew by me. Thank you very much Mr Payne for another excellent video. It is even more impressive when one is not in love with the painting, but you still manage to seriously engage us :D
I love a good art mystery! This one in particular is so fascinating and adds even more layers to an already multi-faceted painting. Thanks as always, James, for the fantastic video!
this has gotta be the painting with the best backstory i've ever heard xD the idea of an indignant yet seminally talented artist being forced to do lucrative portraits which he personally disdained... for poncy upperclass snobs whom he also disdained... so he came up with his own methods to enjoy the work (heaps of scenery) and even sneakily added in-jokes to insult his patrons (which were likely opaque to the young and newly-rich couple)... this entire painting is just a vibe! if only modern rebellious middleclass antiestablishmentarian folks would do such ballsy stuff in their work to diss their bosses and the owner class. it'd be like hiding satirical insults in big oil marketing materials or some intrepid blackrock investment arm sneakily funding homeless shelters near their own luxury apartments. this painting could really become an actual inspiration for modern politics!
I’m traveling tomorrow to Paris with the only purpose of going the see The Raft of the Medusa after watching several times the wonderful work of this channel.
Gaining so much context and appreciation for artists and their art, within social, political, and historical arenas. Plus with all your relaxed views of the artworks I'm seeing so much more of the artists talents. Your videos are art history of the most approachable and fun kind.
In Mrs A hand is a quill. When subjects didn't keep up with their payments to the artists, the artist would take a snipe and paint an invoice in the subjects hand in order to humiliate them into paying. The artists always cease to complete their paintings if the revenue of payment ends. He abandoned completion because the monies owed were not settled.
I love the idea that he was commissioned and then decided to stick it to them. Then that they cottoned on and mothballed the whole thing, but that they didn't destroy it so that we can enjoy his flicked v's to this day! Great job James, thoroughly enjoyed this one as the enclosing of the commons is something I feel strongly about (see the Diggers and listen to "The World Turned Upside Down")
As an Andrews - thankfully no relation to those snobs in the painting - I am always tickled by art critics just lacerating them! Gainsborough was an absolute genius. Always wondered if x-rays or infrared scans were done of her lap just to confirm the presence of a cock pheasant? Also, that isn't corn in the bfield...unless you call wheat or barley, 'corn'. I know that in N America, our corn is called 'maize' in the UK and was often looked down on as pig feed. Maybe another run at this couple? Keep up the great work, love this channel!
I never was much of a fan of Gainsborough's work (even though I saw a lot of it at the National Gallery), but that is what I love about this channel. I now appreciate his work much more and will look at it in a different light. Thanks, James!
I love it when you cover fascinating art curiosities like this! You make the culture and history surrounding the painting just as exciting as Gainsborough's composition and brushstrokes. It shocked me that landscape artists were so flexible with how specific landmarks are depicted compared to their real-life locations. I had no idea! I hope you have more videos of landscape paintings planned; I would love to know more about them!
Again, spectacular research, editing, and writing to tell the story, not just about a painting, but about a time. Her look always put me off, but I have an idea why now.
Love this channel, I have a new appreciation of painters and their work thanks to your impeccable examination of their most famous pictures, thank you!
Thank you, I coincidentally just finished watching a series where the main character inherits a Gainsborough worth ridiculous millions of pounds. I'd barely heard of him and thoroughly enjoyed learning more about him 🧠✨
I’d love to see a video from you about Friedrich’s Winter Landscape as it’s my favorite painting. Or also the Hay Wain by Constable or something talking about Turner’s paintings or the Romantic painters. Love your show!
Your channel has made me go find specific paintings that I may mever have seen otherwise. The Arnolfini portrait, Monet's waterlillies in The Orangery. And now I'll go find this one the next time I'm in London. Thank you
Thank you, love your channel. The backstory and social context of the works is so interesting, how a "simple" portrait of a couple in front of their house can really be an artist's social statement of the time they live in.
Many thanks for another episode over an interesting page of art history that is informative, well researched, and above all, enjoyable as the others in this channel. Thanks again!
Please "like" and leave a comment. It REALLY helps with promoting the channel - I appreciate it. Hope you enjoy. James

@@JJONNYREPP What on earth are you talking about?
@@SoleaGalilei Comments on ‘Thomas Gainsborough: Great Art Explained’ 2111pm 27.9.23 obviously not great art.
This channel takes paintings that I wouldn't look at twice in a museum and has me binging videos about them for hours. If every gallery had Great Art Explained level commentary it would change the art world!
Wow, thank you!
Exactly what i wanted to write, i adore this channel!

Art is more associated with social class and wealth though

I agree
From what I've read, he disliked a lot of people in general. He was very scathing in his views of his clients.
Plus, as James points out, Gainsborough lavished attention on painting the _fabrics_ the subjects wore as if the people themselves didn’t interest him. I’d wonder if that was (1) because of his familiarity with the materials as his father was a weaver and trader in fine fabrics so he focused on them (he would know if the detail was somehow wrong) _or_ (2) so that he could show off his technical skill at rendering the fabrics (probably his clients appreciated that) _or_ (3) some sort of subtle jab at the material opulence his clients enjoyed-or maybe some combination of all of them.
he really liked Mrs Graham, but she still looks "dull" it's just the way noble people was to be portrayed back in those days
I can't overstate how wonderful this channel is, seeing such high quality but digestible content on great art is incredible!
Wow, thank you!

Man, the 18th century shadiness of paintings are unmatched. They did it with class and wit Contemporary art can't hold a candle to the masters.

He’s one of my favourites.
One of the best channels on RUclips
Mrs Andrews resembles Mr. Bean
Lmao now I can’t unsee it
😂
This is hands down some of the best content on the hellscape known as RUclips. Let’s get smarter and better. 🍸❤

It's such a pleasure to learn about paintings with you, for me it feels like a child learning how to read!
What gorgeous piece, and what a talent for fabrics! Thank you for the video, as always a pleasure to watch.

I've been a "stealthy" follower for a while. So: Thanks! Please do not stop.
Thanks so much! That is VERY generous and will help so much!
This is my second time watching this video. Thank you for all of the depth you add to our lives.
You are so welcome
Everytime I see one of your videos, I'm left with so much awe and information
You just opened my eyes to Gainsborough. Thank you!
Very interesting. Thank you for the precious painting details shared with us. From Brazil.
This is without doubt one of the best channels on RUclips!! Thank you so much.
Easily one of the best videos I've seen in a while.
Absolutely love all the videos you make of art, and the stories you tell about them!
Glad you like them!

Once again 17 minutes flying by, giving us precious insight into a masterpiece. Thank you!!
Fascinating, I never knew the background connecting between The Andrews & Gainsborough. Explains a lot of what is in this picture.

Hi Susan - The word corn in British English denoted all cereal grains, including wheat, oats and barley, as in the Corn Laws.
