I've always loved hidden meanings or intentional discrepancies in art. I have many books of illuminated manuscripts and notes of how scribes in monasteries would occasionally hide some writing in their work (something like his back hurts or the work is tedious). I have many hand-knotted Persian carpets, all with deliberate flaws (different color bit or design slightly changed) when the design is supposed to be the same on the other end if you don't look for it. I guess it makes it more precious and shows it is definitely not machine produced.
I Don't know about Persian carpets, but this does sound familiar. You see, in Bulgaria where I am from, there use to be that tradition where things like carpets were given deliberate flaws as an homage to God. As my great great grandmother use to say "Only God is perfect" That's why they'd leave deliberate mistakes. Now, again, that's Bulgaria, not Persia, but it does sound similar.
I think Mozart may have drawn the hand in the coat for a simpler reason: hands are notoriously difficult to draw across multiple industries especially realistic looking hands. It's the sole reason cartoons used to wear gloves and had 4 fingers and why a lot of pin up girl tattoos have their hands behind their heads. Artists have always found ways to hide hands and if you notice in Mozart's painting, with the right hand only 1 finger is exposed. If you also notice in the other examples of hands being in coats, the right hand is usually partially hidden in some way by objects like swords or from a distance where details don't have to be sharp.
Painting over canvas’s is called “pentimento”,(when done by the original artist) which loosely means rethinking. Sometimes there are ghosts of the original brushstrokes bleeding through the final layer. A great example is John Singer Sargent’s “Madame X”, whose husband disapproved of the gown strap slipping down her arm, and demanded he change it!
Van gogh was inspired to paint starry night when he saw the painting "The Wave" then three years after starry night was painted Edvard munch saw it and was inspired to paint the scream. It was the ocean that inspired it all
In the case of the 'Lady Reading by the Window', it could have been a form of censorship, as cupid is naked and the owner thought it was in bad taste and had another artists to covered it up
@@Meh-zf4ye If you didn't read it properly, I said, the owner who got the painting, which could be someone else, didn't like the naked cupid, got someone to paint over the cupid.
I don't think it is censorship. I just think the Cupid is hideous, which is why it was painted over. In my opinion, it ruins the whole painting as it draws too much attention. Think it would have been more appropriate with a smaller clue that it is a love letter.
I am AMAZED! Now I can pretend to be smarter than my older siblings! Great research and you have just the right voice for this channel. Playful and even sarcastic at times. Thank you! ♥️
Just off the top of my head, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody close to the Lady Reading a Letter painting (maybe a past owner or early museum curator, I don't know the painting's history) was bothered by what appeared to be a naked child, and chose to cover it up to make it more "appropriate for public viewing."
Actually, I think I might know what "The Ambassador's" is. This could be a style of painting called a "Vanitas." A Vanitas is a style of painting that revolves around death. Normally in them they have objects that mean different things. For example, the books represent knowlage, coins represent wealth, globes could mean exploration, and things like crowns mean power. They typically have a skull in the image meaning everything means nothing when you're dead.
The Dali museum in St Pete in FL is a must. Some of the works are HUGE, others like the pocket watches are indistinguishable from the real thing. Go see. Seriously.

You: Paints a picture with passion and sells for $100 Random Famous Artist: Throws some paint cans at a paper knowing that the puplic will make up some interpretation on what he ‘ment’ and sells for $1,000,000
I love how he's talking about Salvador Dali's painting of clocks is just his version of melting, yummy cheese, and the next second is a commercial talking about how to "lose weight fast by this stick on pouch"... Irony at it's finest..
The dancing dark figure was a bit creepy, lol! I liked the ones where the painter hid peoples butts, I found all 3, but the last one confused me at first, it sticking out a window, I wasn't sure it was what I thought it was, lol!
"Meisje die een brief leest bij een open raam" is its dutch name I saw a mistake it was "brief" it means letter meisje = girl die = that een = an brief = letter leest = reads bij = near raam = window
At 25:14 No, the one on the right is Saint John the Apostle (later known as John the Elder). Saint John the Baptist was someone else who was already dead before the event depicted in the painting.
I personally think that the S in Mona Lisa is Leonardo Da Vinci’s real name. My history teacher said that Da Vinci isn’t his last name, rather it means Of Vinci, a town somewhere if I remember correctly. I don’t know, don’t be mean to me pls.
These famous paintings are like the paintings of elementary school students, but they were born in a long time ago, and we think they are very special. In fact, they are not as detailed as the current paintings, and there are many replicas. China likes to imitate famous paintings. You may not be able to distinguish those fake paintings, but You believe it to be true, and rich people pay millions for a fake.

He’s dirty minded because he thought in one of PIETER BRUEGEL’S paintings has 2🍑 sticking out a window… little did he know they were just knees. If you are actually an eagle eye like me you would have seen the line of bent knees near the frame of the window.
That's not John the Baptist, he died 3 years before the last supper, that's John the revelator , he's just 60 years younger on that day, and was the youngest among the 12
I heard that back in the day when people stuck their left hand in their jackets oh, it was because before toilet paper they used to use their left hand to wipe... And so it was considered rude to shake with your left hand and people suck their left hand in their jacket to avoid touching others and to look more prominent
The calm voice of the narrator and how he explains things just makes all his videos better than most of the TV shows!
I agree💯
None of his content is boring I can watch all day his voice is calming ☺️
Wait til you here the other Narrator.
@@uncletrash8770 true I love him more
The SOW-er?!
I totally agree with you 🤠
The man next to Jesus in the Last Supper is not John the Baptist, it is John the Apostle. John the Baptist was dead by the time of the Last Supper.
The Last Supper was a Passover Seder.

I find hands easy to draw.

It was the ocean that inspired it all

I completely agree. It also could have been someone in Christianity trying to erase images of "pagan gods" lol

Or maybe a Christian upset at a pagan god being depicted.
I honestly think the painting looked better without cupid in the background. If someone bought the picture, they can do what they like with it.
I just love your videos man.❤❤❤
i don't love this video man

6:35 no hate but that guy on the picture is not Vermeer. As far as we know he never painted himself
The Van Goghs were My favorite, well, them and the Salvador Dali ones. I got to go to the Dali museum when I was in Spain in 2016.
i hate very much for Mona Lisa
Yeah, so many shows I've watched have made references to the Persistence of Memory, the wiki fandom and it's references/allusions say so themself

Very interesting, thanks!
not very interesting
can people stop obsessing about the real mona. Its just a painting
