Cool facts: The Mona Lisa looks odd partly because of decay and damage over centuries of art restorations. Lots of the color was lost when the top layer was removed during an 1809 cleaning, so the face is now a washed-out yellow brown color. She also used to have eyebrows and eyelashes, but they've disappeared. There are some copies and replicas of the original painting that are closer to its original appearance, showing that her hair was a reddish brown, her sleeves were red, and she had thin, arched eyebrows. Frida Kahlo kept her facial hair unkempt in defiance of beauty standards. She also would have preferred being seen as a commoner because she was a literal communist. When Stalin expelled Trotsky from the USSR, he moved in with Kahlo and her husband for two years. Trotsky and Kahlo had an affair, even though both were married to other people. The year after he moved out he was hunted down by an assassin who fatally stabbed him with a sharpened axe handle. Goya's "Saturn Devouring His Son" was never actually given a name by the artist himself. He painted a number of things directly on the walls of his house, but in his later years he painted over them with disturbing images. These 14 wall murals are called his Black Paintings. None of them were actually labeled, so others named them based on their interpretations, assuming that this one was depicting the myth of Saturn. Salvador Dali was, at various points in his life, a communist, a fascist, an anarchist, and a monarchist. He was also one of the people behind the movie Un Chien Andalou, which is the one with the famous scene of a woman's eye being sliced open with a razor. They used a close-up of a dead calf's eye for the actual slicing shot. Lillian Gish was probably unimpressed by Dali throwing his anteater onto her because she already went through hell behind the scenes of the movies she starred in. She starred in some of the earliest blockbusters, such as DW Griffith's 1915 movie Birth of a Nation (which is the movie where the klan is the good guys) and his 1916 followup movie Intolerance. While filming a scene for the 1920 movie Way Down East, she floated down an actual ice floe in an actual freezing river, leading to permanent nerve damage in her hand.
Trotsky was killed by wounds caused by the adze of an ice axe, not a sharpened axe handle. He also wasn't stabbed by it, but that's semantics and not what I care about. Beyond that, neat facts, I hope you haven't lied to me here.
Great list. Mona Lisa also looks a bit off because artists put little errors in on purpose. „Only god can create perfection“, and you don‘t want to piss off the old man…
Apparently, another bit on Mona Lisa’s fame is that it’s _actually_ mainly famous because of the one time it was actually stolen. The “is she smiling?” bit is actually more due to people that didn’t do their homework making a guess and others who also didn’t do their homework going “that sounds about right.” There’s _also_ that there’s a lot of procedure behind it, but it being stolen (in what was really a very early rendition of the Swedish Job) made it a national treasure upon its return.
I don’t know where they got the “unibrows are a sign of royalty in Latin America” from, because one of my classmates who has a unibrow gets called a Minecraft villager on the daily
FUN FACT! (related to the Waldo thing): Renaissance painters would paint themselves into their scenes instead of signing them. They would be wearing "modern" clothes and look really out of place.
in one version of the myth, venus/aphrodite was born from "seafoam" which formed from the titan Uranus's castrated balls, so sumito was really not far off
Frida Kahlo: uses an unibrow and moustache to protest against beauty standards Sumito: "isn't that a mark of STATUS in the latin america NOBILITY? Of the KINGDOM OF LATINAMERICA"
Sort of. They weren't originally the same goddess. The Romans sychretized Venus with Aphrodite after they conquered the Greeks to foster some form of cultural continuity. They did the same with the Egyptian gods, as well as pretty much every other pantheon they came across.
@@alexarnold8461 Depends on the source. Some sources say she was born when Ouranos' castrated member was thrown into the sea, other sources say she was born to Zeus and Dione (which is her origin story in the Iliad).
@@alexarnold8461 the version I heard is that Kronos (who later became conflated with Saturn) castrated his father Ouranous and threw his junk into the Aegean sea. Jizz spilled out from his severed nutsack and became a lovely white foam at the surface of the sea, which in turn birthed Aphrodite (aka Venus). The personification of erotic love was a product of brutal castration. Make of that what you will. Kronos (aka Saturn) then went o to eat almost all of his children to prevent him from being supplanted. So not only Son of the Year, but also Father of the Year as well.
@@henriqueoliveiraschneider1194 it's a jab at modern art, since there were some incidents of art pieces getting damaged or destroyed because someone mistook what it was. A more accurate translation of "kann das weg?" would be "can this be thrown out/disposed?"
The Mona Lisa used to be one of Davinci's least important paintings. In fact, there was so little care for it, that when a man decided he was going to steal it, he just picked it up off the wall and walked away with it, and no one noticed before he was gone. It was actually all the news stories and the hunt to retrieve the Mona Lisa that skyrocketed it into the position it's in now, where its own theft inspired its absurd levels of fame.

The main channel is him monologuing with heavy video edits. This second channel was originally just him chatting with friends but that wasn't as entertaining, so now it seems like he's just saving himself from having to write a script but still doing the edits.
Fun fact about Michelangelo: He REALLY didn't want to paint the Sistine Chapel. He was supposed to be working on it while the Pope was off fighting a war or something; and he (Pope Julius II) was looking forward to seeing Michelangelo's progress upon his return. So he gets back in town and decides to check in on M and sees he hadn't even begun working on the chapel. Hell, M wasn't even in town. He was off in some other town doing whatever. The Pope had to essentially drag M back by the ear and force him to start painting. Just a neat story my old Art History professor liked to tell.
I don’t know if its mentioned in the video (I haven’t seen the entire thing) but Michelangelo was an athiest or at least an agnostic person so when the pope told him to paint the sixteen chapel ceiling and the famous creation of adam he drew a brain of cloth behind God because “god is a creation of the human mind”
That poor guy who redeemed that steam code probably can't use the email tied to his steam account anymore, it's now full of requests to reclaim his account
The Mona Lisa took like 5 years to finish because it was just a random, lazy commission that he didn’t want to work on. Basically like if you enrolled in art class in high school only for the extra credit and having one of your half assed C- projects got famous. The Mona Lisa is famous in the first place because it was stolen from the Louvre 2 or 3 times, not because it was good.
The Mona Lisa isn't actually finished though. It's a work in progress he never finished perfecting. He stopped after a few years because he was literally too old and fragile to continue painting.
@@francescofontanella2002 its mostly because its well known since it got stolen from the louvre in the early 20th century and an image of it was in newspapers so readers could identify it if they found it. it was pretty big since it was one of the first times a picture of an artwork was printed in newspapers, which led it to being the most famous painting in the world

"They pay me just enough to stay off my phone, but not enough to tell you to stop breaking milk bottles for your TikTok." You have accurately summed up my opinion of my job. Unfortunately, I'm a cop.

Not that anyone cares, but I thought I should point out that the "woman" in the last supper is actually the Apostle John, who was commonly portrayed as softer and more feminine to reflect his youth.
Yeah, theres been speculation of that one being Mary of Magdala as well because of the V-shape between Jesus and him/her is supposed to represent marriage or some shit
@@annih3041 While intriguing, it's actually known to be John as there are plenty of other depictions of John just like this from the same time. Also, Leo was probably thirsty for him. The V thing is mostly conspiracy theory from Michael Baigent's book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail." And the idea was later popularized by Dan Brown in "The Davinci Code." It's basically dismissed by most art history scholars at this point.
"They're payin' me *just* enough for me to not be on my phone, but not enough for me to tell you to stop smashing milk jugs for your TikTok" is way funnier than it should be.
My favorite paintings are normally scenery, nature, people being out in nature just living life, that kind of thing. One of my favorites is a pencil sketch I bought at an antique store that is of an artic explorer and a wolf. Also the van goph line was fantastic XD
IratePirate so I’m gonna assume “the dude eating the other dude” is Saturn Devouring His Son, right? Wtf is “those guys are being strangled by snakes”?
if Goya wasnt already weird enough, he was one of a kind. No wonder people with art-knowledge say thay he painted his art only for him to be the only one seeing it and not for public admiration
I remember reading about Goya after just seeing Saturn devouring his sun once without context. It's baffling that someone can convey absolute pant shitting horror with just a single painting. It's mastercrafted to just sit on your retina for weeks.
Yeah I saw this while in middle school when writing a report on art. I’m 35 and the horror I felt the first time I saw it not only remains with me to this day it actually gets more disturbing the older I get.
Yeah I have to disagree with IH saying the one blue painting is creepier, if I had Saturn eating his son at the end of a hallway at night I would sleep on the couch
Imagine: you don't want anyone else to get a hold of this guy so they can build a navy to rival yours. In other countries they would have assassinated him but the tsar let him drink himself to death.
But yet again the Tsars for hundreds of years held the meaning of production of Alcohol and made everyone drunk af 24/7 so his death would be fairly common.
I mostly do hunting trophies. Soft tissue decomposes so you can’t keep that in there for pelt or skin tension and rigidity. If you are doing a large animal then bone positioning is a thing too. For taxidermy to really look any good you either need to find an expert and pay that expert lots of money, or remove as much soft tissue and water as possible and cure what remains with stuff like non-iodized salt. The downside is that this only works with things like bird wings, and pelts will require further work done to them.
I did a VR tour of the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo was sending letters to friends which made it seem like by the end of it, he was sick and tired of painting so long. He talked about how much pain it was causing him to be up on that scaffold with his neck craned to the ceiling just so he could paint the frames and such. The man suffered greatly for that work.

Always remember: the stereotypes for things that grandmas liked and did were established from the 50s to 70s. A lot of the older people on early TV were *Victorians*.
What I love about the painting of Saturn devouring his son is that it actually was painted on Goya's kitchen wall, so now think about how weird it must have felt being invited to eat at his home xD
WET SGE nope, it was in the kitchen/dining room. The paintings were spread between the first in second floor, over what would have been the dining room and the living room.
As someone that draws the pictures and has heard the words "I cant draw stick figures" so many times that a dollar for each would make me rich, I am glad it is in this video. I know it wasnt an intentional meme, but that almost makes it better
The guy holding a skin in Michelangelo's Giudizio universale was a saint who's skin got ripped away. However, the skin in the painting is a selfportrait of the artist
Most likely how he felt when he had to spent all that time painting for a bunch self righteous and hypocrite snobs that were his patreons in the church.
@@nopatiencejoe6376 My favorite part is that one scene he painted for the Sistine chapel, that's an image of himself with his naked ass turned to the Pope. What a savage. Getting paid by the most influential man in the Church and still has the balls to throw shade.
i'm pretty sure that in the original myth, perseus looked around the cave with the mirror shield, then killed medusa in her sleep pretty anticlimactic tbh
there was also a variation that Athena killed Medusa. Medusa was a high priestess in Athena's temple, and was raped by Poseidon in the shrine, probably because he hated Athena. Athena then proceeded to turn Medusa into...well, Medusa, snakes on her hair and petrifying eyes to either punish her or help her by allowing her to petrify any man that comes near her and/or look at her. On ANOTHER another variation, she kills Medusa, although I don't remember why I just remember learning about it lmao. With myths it's hard to find the 'correct" version because there IS NO such version. Myths are told from person to person and details get blurred. Sorry for the long comment btw.
The idea of "Where's Waldo" in the Sistine Chapel is actually kinda a real thing. Several of the people in the artwork were modeled off of artist friends and clergy members.
@@ItalianStallion69 it isnt an American youtuber and I aint American, it isnt an maerican book and everywhere else calls it wally. I'll tell you now it may not be the wally but I found a wally.
For a school trip we went to Spain and visited Dali's grave. The guide talked about him and some random guy from our class farted really loud. Our guide was cool about it and said Dali would've found that hilarious.
Goya didn't just keep his pieces in his house near the end of his life, he painted the pieces on the walls of his house directly, so they couldn't be removed.
I completely agree that the eyes in "Saturn Devouring His Son" are super captivating- that's what makes it for me. I am by no means a painting snob (I can maybe name 5), but that one is a close second to my favorite ("The Death of Socrates," and not just because the painting makes him look like he's still lecturing before being killed.... thank you guys for that. lol)
that saturn eating his child painting is so just purely disturbing to me. like art hasnt ever really affected me but good lord that one painting is so so unnerving
It’s interesting because I’m pretty sure in the myths he specifically swallowed all his children whole because they continued to live inside his stomach until he vomited them out to help Zeus fight. They later became many of the core pantheon like Poseidon, Hades, and (I think) Demeter are all Zeus’ elder siblings.
samiamrg7 yee that’s how it is in the myths, and it’s less disturbing there because of how less real it feels. but the painting shows a different, more realistic side as to what that story really entails
FUN FACT: Francisco Goya's 'black paintings', which included Saturn Devouring his Son, were painted directly onto his walls in his house in Madrid - not on a canvas or paper.
Explanation for the Russian drink thing: What's actually done is you brush the underside of your chin with your fingers, which is a way of telling your friends that you should go out for drinks. It came from the time of Peter the Great, where officers in the army had the royal seal tattooed on their necks. This meant that they could drink at any bar for free, and all they had to do was show the seal. The reason Russians scratch/tap their necks is because that simulates lifting your beard to show the seal.
The guy holding the skin was actually St. Bartholomew, who was flayed alive. Depictions of him usually show him holding his flayed skin. There are theories that Michelangelo put his own face on Bartholomew's skin and showed him dangling it over Hell because he was worried about the fate of his soul
It was actually the face of the cardinal who oversaw the chapel construction project and kept bitching about Michelangelo taking too long on the largest and most complex fresco ever attempted.
@@SwiftNimblefoot Often martyred Saints are depicted as fully restored because well they are in heaven, but with something that symbolizes their death or carrying a cross. St Cathrine of Alexandria is often shown with a wheel. (if you don't know death by the wheel then don't google it) St Steven who was stoned often has stones on him. it has to do with though God even death loses its sting.
Art Fact: Apparently when Michaelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, he hated the Pope so much for censoring the figures, everyone had to covered. He hated him so much that he painted him in Hell. Hahaha And that skinned body is a self-portrait of him.
I think the story went that his big problem with the pope was the pope didn't want him to work in sculpture, because working on statues for the pope's tomb before his death was a bad omen. And M far preferred sculpting over painting - especially because working on the roof meant hours on end on his back. IIRC it was a bishop or cardinal he'd a row with that objected to the nudity and caused him to paint the guy in hell.
That's almost true, the story goes that a cardinal didn't like Michaelangelo painting the figures nude, so he accused him in front of the pope. Michaelangelo got so angry at him that he painted the cardinal in hell with donkey ears (like a Greek myth which name I can't remember). The cardinal went to the pope to make Michaelangelo erase the painting, but the pope said he couldn't do anything.
@@governorofthebarataria9548 The myth you're thinking of was Midas. While people remember him best for his Golden touch problem, the dude got cursed a lot. (Well technically the Golden touch was supposed to be a blessing, Midas saved the god Dionysus's friend and Dionysus offered him anything he wanted in return, and the idiot decided he wanted to turn anything he touched into gold. Fortunately Dionysus let him do a take-back and he went back to normal. Later though he ended up getting into trouble when he judged a music contest between Apollo (God of Music) and Pan (the dude who invented Pan Pipes). Midas was kind of biased and was already Pan's friend, so when he decided that Pan had won the contest, Apollo got pissed and gave him donkey ears. He tried to keep it hidden but his barber knew so Midas tried to swear him to secrecy. The barber couldn't bear to keep the secret and instead dug a hole and whispered the secret into it before filling the hole in. Unfortunately then reeds grew over the hole and started whispering the secret to everyone who passed by. This apparently then embarrassed Midas so much that he killed himself in shame.
“Oh, I was thinking of Aphrodite, not Venus. I thought I was right about something.” The irony is genuinely a little painful. Also, Pickman’s Model directly references Goya, so you’re spot on there.
Some janitor that wanted to bring it back to Italy. And newspapers used a blurb from some artist that had a boner for the painting. I saw the mona lisa last year it's not that interesting it's not even finished the bitch ain't got eyebrows.
7:00 The Mona Lisa is acually famouse because some guy stole it when it wasn't really guarded and it got into the news, then it was (Returned? Taken back? I forget...) and it became so famous that it's value skyrocketed
Actually it was pretty close to getting famous naturally, stealing just gave it a shortcut. It is also extremely good because of the sheer amount of effort that went into making it. DaVinci actually exploited how the brains peripheral vision works in order to make it seem as though the smile changes when you look her in the eyes versus when you look her in the mouth. I recommend the video by great art explained if you want more details, it's very interesting

I know you won't read this and I'm super late to the party but I wrote a big old dissertation about Goya and Saturn devouring his son and it was painted directly onto the wall of his house. Not painted on canvas and then stored. He painted a series of works known as his black series on the walls of his house and when he died they cut them out of the walls to display them. I know it comes across as petty but I can't let it slide. Something about painting it directly onto his walls adds a level of permanence and secrecy that I think painting it onto a canvas and hiding it just doesn't have. Edited to add that now I've edited it your like has gone away but I'm glad you saw it. I thought it was important. Goya had a sad death. His last works were all very important and documented his mental state in a really dark way.
Yes in Art History class I made the same observation that the disciple in "The Last Supper" looked like the girl in the meme, lol I love memeing art as an Art Major
Fun fact: his wife left for the theatre the night he painted the melted clocks painting. He was alone and eating cheese (I think it was brie? It was one of those super soft cheeses). And he painted the clocks bc he was inspired by the cheese and him looking at the clock while waiting for his wife.

Commenting because I haven’t seen anyone point it out yet: Aphrodite and Venus are the same goddess. Venus is just her Roman name.
Also it was uranus' foreskin that made her, not zeus'
Inserting funny foreskin out of Uranus joke here before anyone tries to.
Sort of. They weren't originally the same goddess. The Romans sychretized Venus with Aphrodite after they conquered the Greeks to foster some form of cultural continuity. They did the same with the Egyptian gods, as well as pretty much every other pantheon they came across.
@@alexarnold8461 Depends on the source. Some sources say she was born when Ouranos' castrated member was thrown into the sea, other sources say she was born to Zeus and Dione (which is her origin story in the Iliad).
@@alexarnold8461 the version I heard is that Kronos (who later became conflated with Saturn) castrated his father Ouranous and threw his junk into the Aegean sea. Jizz spilled out from his severed nutsack and became a lovely white foam at the surface of the sea, which in turn birthed Aphrodite (aka Venus).
The personification of erotic love was a product of brutal castration. Make of that what you will.
Kronos (aka Saturn) then went o to eat almost all of his children to prevent him from being supplanted.

The Mona Lisa used to be one of Davinci's least important paintings. In fact, there was so little care for it, that when a man decided he was going to steal it, he just picked it up off the wall and walked away with it, and no one noticed before he was gone. It was actually all the news stories and the hunt to retrieve the Mona Lisa that skyrocketed it into the position it's in now, where its own theft inspired its absurd levels of fame.

Fun fact about Michelangelo: He REALLY didn't want to paint the Sistine Chapel. He was supposed to be working on it while the Pope was off fighting a war or something; and he (Pope Julius II) was looking forward to seeing Michelangelo's progress upon his return. So he gets back in town and decides to check in on M and sees he hadn't even begun working on the chapel. Hell, M wasn't even in town. He was off in some other town doing whatever. The Pope had to essentially drag M back by the ear and force him to start painting.
Just a neat story my old Art History professor liked to tell.

I don’t know if its mentioned in the video (I haven’t seen the entire thing) but Michelangelo was an athiest or at least an agnostic person so when the pope told him to paint the sixteen chapel ceiling and the famous creation of adam he drew a brain of cloth behind God because “god is a creation of the human mind”

The Mona Lisa took like 5 years to finish because it was just a random, lazy commission that he didn’t want to work on. Basically like if you enrolled in art class in high school only for the extra credit and having one of your half assed C- projects got famous.
The Mona Lisa is famous in the first place because it was stolen from the Louvre 2 or 3 times, not because it was good.
Or maybe it is the peak of da Vinci sfumato technique.
The Mona Lisa isn't actually finished though. It's a work in progress he never finished perfecting. He stopped after a few years because he was literally too old and fragile to continue painting.

As someone who does taxidermy, yeah it generally won’t look “right”.
Why!
I mostly do hunting trophies. Soft tissue decomposes so you can’t keep that in there for pelt or skin tension and rigidity. If you are doing a large animal then bone positioning is a thing too.
For taxidermy to really look any good you either need to find an expert and pay that expert lots of money, or remove as much soft tissue and water as possible and cure what remains with stuff like non-iodized salt. The downside is that this only works with things like bird wings, and pelts will require further work done to them.
@@scott_hunts If I remember correctly there was a show on tv about a taxidermist who would work on peoples pets.
I did a VR tour of the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo was sending letters to friends which made it seem like by the end of it, he was sick and tired of painting so long.

Explanation for the Russian drink thing:
What's actually done is you brush the underside of your chin with your fingers, which is a way of telling your friends that you should go out for drinks. It came from the time of Peter the Great, where officers in the army had the royal seal tattooed on their necks. This meant that they could drink at any bar for free, and all they had to do was show the seal. The reason Russians scratch/tap their necks is because that simulates lifting your beard to show the seal.

The guy holding the skin was actually St. Bartholomew, who was flayed alive. Depictions of him usually show him holding his flayed skin. There are theories that Michelangelo put his own face on Bartholomew's skin and showed him dangling it over Hell because he was worried about the fate of his soul
It's kinda hilarious how he still has his own skin on, though
It was actually the face of the cardinal who oversaw the chapel construction project and kept bitching about Michelangelo taking too long on the largest and most complex fresco ever attempted.
@@SwiftNimblefoot Often martyred Saints are depicted as fully restored because well they are in heaven, but with something that symbolizes their death or carrying a cross.

Art Fact: Apparently when Michaelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, he hated the Pope so much for censoring the figures, everyone had to covered. He hated him so much that he painted him in Hell. Hahaha
And that skinned body is a self-portrait of him.
I think the story went that his big problem with the pope was the pope didn't want him to work in sculpture, because working on statues for the pope's tomb before his death was a bad omen. And M far preferred sculpting over painting - especially because working on the roof meant hours on end on his back. IIRC it was a bishop or cardinal he'd a row with that objected to the nudity and caused him to paint the guy in hell.
That's almost true, the story goes that a cardinal didn't like Michaelangelo painting the figures nude, so he accused him in front of the pope. Michaelangelo got so angry at him that he painted the cardinal in hell with donkey ears (like a Greek myth which name I can't remember). The cardinal went to the pope to make Michaelangelo erase the painting, but the pope said he couldn't do anything.

Fortunately Dionysus let him do a take-back and he went back to normal.
Later though he ended up getting into trouble when he judged a music contest between Apollo (God of Music) and Pan (the dude who invented Pan Pipes). Midas was kind of biased and was already Pan's friend, so when he decided that Pan had won the contest, Apollo got pissed and gave him donkey ears. He tried to keep it hidden but his barber knew so Midas tried to swear him to secrecy.

I know you won't read this and I'm super late to the party but I wrote a big old dissertation about Goya and Saturn devouring his son and it was painted directly onto the wall of his house. Not painted on canvas and then stored. He painted a series of works known as his black series on the walls of his house and when he died they cut them out of the walls to display them. I know it comes across as petty but I can't let it slide. Something about painting it directly onto his walls adds a level of permanence and secrecy that I think painting it onto a canvas and hiding it just doesn't have.
Edited to add that now I've edited it your like has gone away but I'm glad you saw it. I thought it was important. Goya had a sad death. His last works were all very important and documented his mental state in a really dark way.
