I can't decide between Duccio and Cimabue's depictions. I can't get over the way Duccio represented Mary's deep blue and gold outfit and prefer the arrangement of his angels, but I do love how Cimabue portrayed Jesus, Mary's gestures, the gradient angel wings, AND the bonus prophets at the bottom... I'd get very lost in that room, lol.

Where do you find the time to tour the world for these videos??

They're art historians, so they often have grants or travel for research, lectures, conferences, etc. Before the pandemic, my professors would travel, often out of the country, at least once a semester.

Unrelated but I actually thought you uploaded three analysis on the same artwork. Shame on me.
