Hey Netflix, give Gilliam a show in which he travels the world and discusses great works of art. Thank you.
Great! Thanks, Terry, for everything you and your friends in MP have made!
I want more of these, this is fantastic and really adds another dimension to artwork that I had not dig into :)
same thought here, a Netflix's "It's the Arts" serie hosted by Sir Gilliam would be much welcome

Love Terry Gilliam, so glad to see him again! He's my favourite Terry in the world!
Terry Jones?
@@johgu92 R.I.P. to him, he was great, but I still love Gilliam more
Same! @@antoinepetrov
あれは、キューピッドの足だった！
笑顔で語るテリー・ギリアム氏が見られたので、今日夜更かししていて良かった。最高です。
I admire Terry so much. I see so much beauty and intelligence in humour. When he dies, a many-eyed dragon somewhere will cease to be.
Thank you mister Bronzino for this exquisite smashing foot.
A fantastic foot :D
Thank you Terry. Enjoyed every second of this education. Hope you are well and thank you for all you have given to us and the arts.
Wonderful explanation of the art and of the connection to the greatest comedy series of my youth!
Терри Гиллиам настоящая живая легенда. Уникален, неповторим и великолепен 🦶
Hi Terry good to see you buddy 💕
I never missed an episode of Monty Python. Always worth watching again!!👍🏻
Thank you very much from France.
Thank you so much for sharing. This really made my evening. Brightened up the gloominess of the past couple of weeks ❤️😇
When this picture came up in my art history class…..I had a bit of a hard time trying not to giggle
All I saw was That Foot in the lower left corner
What a treasure it is indeed to witness first hand, er um foot, creative, artistic, comedic, and cinematic genius ever since the 1960's!
Obligatory : “Good artists borrow, great artists steal.” Nice to see this axiom made real and confirmed yet again.
I would watch, read or otherwise devour any medium in which Terry would give a peak inside his mind and what influenced him. So whomever runs this channel get the word to him, maybe with similar episodes on what inspires Eric musically.
THE Greatest comedy of ALL Time. Period, end of discussion.
No need to discuss it Tom!💪🏻
Michael Palin has £5 and wants to dispute that for 15 minutes..
👉🏻@@BasketCase 👈🏻
Argument clinic ... the best
After Kubrick, Brazil is my fave film ever. Thank you Terry.
After Kubrick? Kubrick is not a film.... he's a film maker
@@avidadolares Wow, you must be a real barrel of laughs.
@@qwaqwa1960xD
So interesting, I love this! ♥️🖼️🦶🏻
I grew up watching reruns and this is so interesting, knowing some history of the show ❤
thanks for everything, man
Perfect ending!
this is great! would live to see more 😊
What a cowinkydink, I was just this instant thinking of Monty Python.
This is brilliant! Thanks.
When this video ends I am left with the need for more, please, MORE!!!
Saludos de México.
😎
Absolutely love this origin story for the Monty Python foot! Thanks for sharing it.
Much respect Terry. 🙏
Please, more of these!!!
Brilliant!
The foot explained, from the mouth of the master. Neat!
Yes,, Monty Python was always hysterical and the best. 🤣👌👍
I can relate to those paintings.
My friend and I were told to exit certain art galleries when we were boys.
The paintings in the video made us think about the things we used to get up to as boys in our imagination.
Imaginary things that we had done. 🤣🤣🤣
I have been a fan of monty python since they showed it on pbs in the 70s and I never knew the foot came from a painting.
"Well, that puts a bit of a damper on the evening!"
Great to hear from you Terry.
A wonderful interpretation...very Gilliam and very insightful.
Great story! Thank you Mr. Gilliam! I ❤ your animations and films! I ❤ Brazil!
I did share this on the Book of Face, but with the warning: Boobiage and Dangly Bits... Thank Terry for so many great episodes and films!
THANK YOu for telling us where the foot came from.
Agnolo Bronzino's "An allegory with Venus and Cupid" from mid 16th century.
So much to see in this painting, that kiss though, there is indeed a lot of action going on here!
I miss seeing Terry. My fave director, favourite story teller.
Why Python was so great, all the members were interested in interesting things and let it flow out in their comedy. No such thing as too high brow or too low brow, just authentic expression of their interests
This Bronzino piece has always been my favorite painting. I've been enamored with it since childhood when I first saw it in black and white print in my grandfather's copy of Joseph Campbell's "The Power of Myth". Spellbinding.
Wow.
It's not Python without at least one naughty picture 😁
❤
Oh, but still so much more left in the story to tell. Do tell. Continue please!
So when are you making a sequel to Time Bandits?
I really enjoyed this - it was an honest look at the art, and not trying to just make a punchline out of it.
Kudos. 🦶
If Terry Gilliam likes it, it is worth considering.
👍
I wish I could wander around the national gallery in my pajamas.
Gerry Tilliam and the flying brain
He sounds American and British at the same time. I love his voice
cheeky thief😁
There are numerous interpretations of this painting and no one knows what it all stands for or means. Terry's views is one of many different views of it.
Is “The Penultimate Supper” in that gallery?
The painting exemplifies Mannerism, a trend in art of the Renaissance that focused on allegorical and metaphorical scenes. Nothing in Mannerist art is what it seems: everything is some riddle or code or key to something else. This trend is echoed in the modern Surrealist art, which similarly featured meticulously rendered people and objects in strange and unusual contexts. It is this connection between Mannerism and Surrealism that so inspires Gilliam, whose anarchic paste-ups owed much to both movements.
During the Renaissance, most people considered Bronzino's art to be too "mannered" that is to say, pretentious. There are still some who consider it pretentious today! It's OK to think that. In response to Mannerism, the Popes began to call for art that could be interpreted by anyone: an art form where the drama and the figures were as clear and simple as possible.
This led directly to the Baroque. Whereas Mannerism tried to make everything complicated and a riddle, Baroque art ground down human experience to the essentials. Expressions were stereotyped and exaggerated. Light usually came from just one point on the canvas. And whatever the figure being portrayed, the artist always tried to capture the moment of the absolute greatest dynamic drama. They wanted to grab your attention and keep it! The exact opposite of Mannerism, which defies interpretation and has an almost indifferent attitude towards the viewer.
Legendary team, will never be equalled in soh😂❤
The origin of the foot is fascinating, but one mystery remains unsolved. WHO MADE THE RASPBERRY PFFFT SOUND EFFECT? Was that Gilliam himself, or was it just an old sound effect from the library, or just where did that raspberry come from?
That was Gilliam himself, blowing through his fingers.
interesting!
Bronzino is my favorite metal polish.
Oh wait.... On second thought, being Cupid every once in a while would be nice.
Wow...
I've always seen a lot of Max Ernst in Gilliam's animation work.
'The Fisher King' by Leonora Carrington !!!
That painting: Exists
Absolutely NOBODY EVER (actually, one person): "Wow, that's an interesting foot!"
I bet most people at the Gallery don't even notice it 😆
@@nationalgallery Technically, this could be considered one of those "Bet you didn't notice" memes - but absolutely the first EVER "Bet you didn't notice the foot" one.
So Venus is the Goddess of Venerial Diseases 😂
Sadly, we have lost the meaning these artists implanted surreptitiously ideas within their works. This was the brilliance of these men and women painters.
🦶💙
My pussydog, Snowflake the 3rd, just started to choke on a chicken bone - granted the chicken bone was in our neighbours chicken at the time, I remained concerned. I have a GoFundMe account, if that helps.
4:34 Perhaps one day The National Gallery will light their paintings properly and not cast shadows of the frames over the paintings.
*Anybody knows what the general stance is if an MP sketch available on YT as video is uploaded edited/cut to a **#shorts** variant, with new subtitles and/or a different sound track?*
Eg. when I see flat Earth proponents fight an unwinnable fight against a well prepared and eloquent scientist I often think of if the scene in _"Monty Python and the Holy Grale"_ in which King Arthur defeats the Black Knight.
A friend of mine even tried to establish the term "black knighting" for such pointless fights, doomed to be lost from the beginning. (But so far my friend was without success, maybe because the term "black knighting" is already in use as slang term with a different meaning.)
I'm not aiming to monetize such videos,, but the risk to get a copyright strike is a little bit too much for a small channel like mine. I neither have the money nor the patience to advance against a copyright strike, but I also don't want to loose my channel. And as I understand the YT policy you only argue with AIs until you involve a lawyer. Only being "protected" by the "fair use" rules of some jurisdictions is not enough for me.
*So whom might I ask for general permission to do things like that and get a legally valid and binding answer?*
During the preparation of the Don Quichotte film that he was to direct with Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, he found that the horse was not thin enough, that his ribs were not visible enough. The horse had no more food on Gilliam's orders. Result: The horse died of starvation. In the documentary "Lost in La Mancha", Gilliam can be seen walking past the horse and telling it, "You're not allowed to eat." Garbage 🙂🙂

Benny Hill considered funnier than Monty Python by two TV stations --WOR and WLVI!
Ok, but what is Bronzino saying about incest here?
It’s fine if it’s to spread a brain-eating STI, apparently.
definitely one of the world's sillier paintings. lol
There's nothing more annoying, than an Englishman pontificating about art--you know; art, with a large "A". Now, on the other hand: I could listen to Terry talk about it , all day!
Haha, 😆😂
Gilliam... unafraid to still be sporting a rats tail, an unfortunate fad from 30+ years ago and which also is known as "the poor mans mullet".
Is he going to say something completely offensive?
More, please. 🤓
