Yes, I agree! From the comments I see the speaker has great respect, and rightly so , but I came here for the full experience of learning from him, and not including the slides and images makes the viewer feel like an outsider.
unless of course I misunderstood and it’s a Mr.Dixon fan page. Which he no doubt deserves given his eloquence and ability to share his knowledge of his subject.
Wish he had been my lecturer at Uni....admire his work, communication style and depth of knowledge. He is the kind of man you can sit down with and have real conversation about art and he'd listen.
Wow...man of letters and superb philosopher Sir Roger Scruton in the audience and asking a question. Brilliant minds and talent in this room. Thanks for sharing...a marvelous video.
I really love the beginning & ending of this talk on the starting history of Venice, the Renaissance & light. Thank you for this upload, I have learned so much.
*Well you're watching this on RUclips dude!* *You're the reason why those seats are empty.* *I love Andrew's lectures! I never miss any when he (rarely) comes to Australia!*
They should have placed the camera to show the examples of what he is talking about. He is always interesting, show the art so that we get at least a glimpse of what he is referring to, and not just guess.
Andrew has just such a fascinating and colourful insight to everything he touches and always bring it with a sense of humour although I think some f his audience miss the sneaky humour.
This is a profoundly spiritual lecture - I found - especially at the very end - .... and a reminder for some of us (many millions of us in fact) who still know of the unassailable power of the One and only Truth which is the inevitability of Eternal Light for the sinner who repents and seeks mercy in Christ’s name.... What a glorious gift to all. (Jan, 2021).
Very fine. Thanks for posting. In a very different style, but with similar eloquence, he is one of the few who can give the much-missed Robert Hughes a run for his money.
I love - and learn a lot from - his content; but the style of presentation, conversational and not lecturing from a prepared script, really grabs the attention. He's talking to each and every one of us, as individuals. The slight heitations and self-corrections, or even forgetting some small detail, occur in live conversation - but not a prepared script. Very many thanks!
He's one of the best art speakers around. Love his voice and accent. Love his books. A true leader in his field. Thusly, please wear something better than a plain ol t-shirt. You're the best. Dress like it...
At 39.24, he clearly said, the Resurrection painting in mystery museum in Berlin by Giorgione! I will go down in infamy correcting Andrew Graham Dixon. Surely he meant the canvas by Bellini, in Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. There are no known Resurrection of Christ painting by Giorgione.
very informative and enjoyable but I would have liked the camera to pan to the screen occasionally and show the slides the speaker referred to during his lecture, it would help to keep the focus on the subject being presented rather than the presenter.
To the viewer who questioned the absence of reference art, I suspect the organisers of this lecture (series?) neither had the budget or clearance to include images. Moreover, the project was to record Graham Dixon’s lecture, not make a stand alone documentary, as Mr Dixon has done on other occasions for broadcast TV.
Excellent lecture, but too bad we don’t see the works discussed. It would be a great improvement to position the camera to the scree of presentation if impossible to do more sophisticated filming. Thank you for the lecture
I was present at The Birmingham King Edwards school Tolkien Lecture that Andrew delivered around the same time as this. His subject was Caravaggio amongst other things. It was at this lecture he announced his recent conversion to Christianity. I don't think it was altogether easy for him and every one was very moved.
He's a recent convert to Christianity? Given his background (Westminster School, then Oxford), I always assumed that he was a member of the Church of England.
@@cg8397 That is no guarantee, whatsoever, that a person belongs to a faith. My father went to Repton and Oxford and was an atheist his entire life. I'm absolutely not surprised that Andrew was an atheist but very surprised that he found faith.
It’s a pretty big pity the recording didn’t show th images Andrew Dixon was talking about! The audience was shown at times all right. Kind of bizarre choice of what to focus on.
There is so much in art history and the traditions of the West, it seems very odd that Islam do not or denied images of god. We can have god as human and there have been so many painters who painted this theme. All creatures can be painted by any artist, unlike in a ideology where god is not associated with the world and animals.
Excellent oratory to a point . Andrew always gets passionate to the degree of ' licking his chops ' , a little , which sometimes is perhaps , at times , dare I say , a little too zealous which may not have been needed to get his points across . But aside from that , Andrew does have an important role in presenting his ' spiritual in art ' rave ! I haven't seen many documentary stints which focus on the spiritual in art . So congratulations for that alone , Andrew ! He reminds me very much of the art commentator , an Australian , which I am , who also gave 'drooling like ' interpretations of the history of art , as found in the ' Times Magazine ' , for which he writes ! Especially the shock of the new - oratories ! His name was ' Robert Hughes ' , God bless him as with Andrew , here , hey !. I suspect both have a good dose of scorpio in them : Comment by : Kenneth Kirkpatrick - NZ Artist ( spssabkjk@gmail.com ) PS //// I COULDN"T hear his talk through , eventually , as I found it very tacting ! ( spelling ? ) Did he include any visuals along the way ? No !!!! It would have been better if he had of , so therefore I believe he was a little out of touch with having more empathy with the man in the street , the viewer there & youtube watchers , & so wallowing , too much , therefore , is his delivery means, which simply place a gap between him and his audience who have given up their time to attend the talk . YAWN !!! Too much lecturing & not enough consoling , hey , Andrew ! Hope you read these comments and adjust your future deliveries accordingly please , Andrew !
Fascinating content, but it is unfortunately very jarring that the speaker looks like he just got out of bed or came back from a gym session. It's a pity because it takes more effort to take seriously a person speaking on such elevated subjects as art history and spirituality. Would it really hurt to at least put on a shirt and thereby show some respect for the subject and the audience? Otherwise this is better as a podcast rather than a video.
What a tragedy in this marvelous presentation that the camera never shifts from Andrew's face to what he is talking about.
Why?
Go online nd get the images.

HE IS AND WILL BE THE GREATEST SPEAKER ON ART AND UNDERSTANDING OF ART IN TODAYS TIMES
This is an absolutely wonderful talk! So much in it, so many threads, so many important connections made.
Wish he had been my lecturer at Uni....admire his work, communication style and depth of knowledge. He is the kind of man you can sit down with and have real conversation about art and he'd listen.
The best art lecturer, always well informed and always engaging.
Brilliant lecture, he’s one of the best art historians that makes art documentaries 👍👍
Wow...man of letters and superb philosopher Sir Roger Scruton in the audience and asking a question. Brilliant minds and talent in this room. Thanks for sharing...a marvelous video.
Roger Scrotum is a bourgeois imbecile and kiss-arse Tory.
Love Andrew, would love to spend a day with him just listening😊👍
I really love the beginning & ending of this talk on the starting history of Venice, the Renaissance & light. Thank you for this upload, I have learned so much.
His talk is so beautiful and human by nature. It’s pure Fantasy and it’s far away from reality!
What? Are those empty seats at an Andrew Graham Dixon lecture? I would pay to hear him read the telephone directory!
*Well you're watching this on RUclips dude!*
*You're the reason why those seats are empty.*
*I love Andrew's lectures! I never miss any when he (rarely) comes to Australia!*
Clearly an 'exclusive' event
Thank you so much for posting this. Just outstanding!!

exactly
Search for 'Assumption of the Virgin' (Titian) 'San Zaccaria Altarpiece' (Bellini) 'Resurrection of Christ' (Bellini)
Thanks! I will have to see it again at a later time. I am not an art history major.
Maria Ayub
I presume copyrights issue is the factor
@@streb6 copyright didn't exist when those works were made.
Andrew has just such a fascinating and colourful insight to everything he touches and always bring it with a sense of humour although I think some f his audience miss the sneaky humour.
Thanks for sharing!Andrew Graham Dixon is incredibly clever !
love you Andrew, thank youu
I now have to see Venice again this telling of it's story has left me wanting more thankyou Andrew
Simply superb.
Thank you for posting. I've learned a lot today.
This is a profoundly spiritual lecture - I found - especially at the very end - .... and a reminder for some of us (many millions of us in fact) who still know of the unassailable power of the One and only Truth which is the inevitability of Eternal Light for the sinner who repents and seeks mercy in Christ’s name....

(Jan, 2021).
Thank you, so much - timely
The one filming the lecture should have shown Graham-Dixons subjects so we could relate to the exact painting!
Andrew makes being an art critic to be cooler than being an artist. That's charisma and goodness. He encarnates the things he is talking about.
I found this to be a very powerful and insightful video. Truly BLESSED ME... was a surprise. Thank you for sharing.
What a fascinating lecture, was glued. Brilliantly done.💐
Thank you for sharing this lecture, quite informative!
What a fantastic lecture. Truly enjoyable, enlightening - and uplifting. Thank you!.
Excellent communicator and knowledge. Art is I, science is we.
Brilliant! ❤
turner and Einstein, good job! Andrew. :)
Andrew is simply the best
Thanks for your unique ideas
Very fine. Thanks for posting. In a very different style, but with similar eloquence, he is one of the few who can give the much-missed Robert Hughes a run for his money.
So interesting!!

Stellar lecture. Why were the images not shown, as he was speaking about them?
Exactly! Who produced this and why did he agree to no images?
I HOPE THAT HE HAS ALL OF THIS WRITTEN IN A BOOK ...SO NOTHING GETS LOST TO THE PAST ........
interesting interpretations. thank you.
I thought exactly the same thing as the person below - disturbed by empty seats at an Andre Graham-Dixon lecture!!!
Terrific man.
Brilliant exposition!!!
Roger Scruton taking notes on the audience!!! :D
05:52 for those that didn't spot him.
illuminating - thanks
It is always said that Renaissance re-invented perspective; I must say that this lecture gave me new perspective
Thank you!!
He's one of the best art speakers around. Love his voice and accent. Love his books. A true leader in his field. Thusly, please wear something better than a plain ol t-shirt. You're the best. Dress like it...
thanks hi is
always interesting but why no camera to the slides ?

Da Fefe he does catch himself as he continues. He refers a couple of minutes later to this painting as a Bellini.
i love AGD👍🏼
hero.
His art history book looks very appealing
Damn, this guy is good.
very informative and enjoyable but I would have liked the camera to pan to the screen occasionally and show the slides the speaker referred to during his lecture, it would help to keep the focus on the subject being presented rather than the presenter.
Good to see Roger scruton there!
Sir Roger Scruton!!!!!!!!!

Moreover, the project was to record Graham Dixon’s lecture, not make a stand alone documentary, as Mr Dixon has done on other occasions for broadcast TV.
That is the late Sir Roger Scruton at the 5:50 mark and later as the first commentator from the audience.
Excellent lecture, but too bad we don’t see the works discussed. It would be a great improvement to position the camera to the scree of presentation if impossible to do more sophisticated filming. Thank you for the lecture

Showing the viewing audience the slide show would of been "Nice!"
Wonderful lecture but why doesn’t he show the paintings that he’s talking about rather than the audience!!!
The greatest authority on spirituality in Art is the guy who met Christ Almighty AND who paints.
That would be Saint Luke the Evangelist
Best to light a candle than to curse the darkness. Blocked

Show the slides! This makes no sense without them. Warning this is a talking head talking about something we can’t see!

Rubbish cameraman who just didn't think of giving us the flash of the images he's talking about - der...
Would love to have seen the pictures he refers to. Without them it's enough to sleep thru. Shame.so much knowledge diminished.
talking about images and not showing them.

Great mind but seem to have lost his sense of decorum. What a pity!
