From what I have seen presented by this entire series, each episode affirmatively demonstrates that the _Value_ of a work of art is never as important to it's price as the story which is told about it defines it's worth.
Perhaps you might watch again when you're in a different frame of mind. The History can affect a greater value of a painting, a piece of Art, an artifact. If it was owned by a famous person, statesman, actor, monarch, if the item has a notable journey, and its actual age, ... all would have an impact on the monetary value. The Arts, whether Paintings, Literary works, Acting, Vocalists ... there are other areas that influence their popularity, demands, successes, and monetary values. Due to my past years of experience with Entertainment, (Vocalists, Bands, Comedians), it was very clear that talent was merely a part of one's potential for success. The genre' and how they packaged themselves were as important to their actual success as talent. The most important Key always being, "What the Artist feels and believes about themselves and their Success." (But then the "Universal Law of Attraction" is Absolute.) We each create all of our own Reality through our "Thoughts + Feelings X Beliefs" = Our Frequency = Our Reality In those cases where the Artist has a Publicist, Manager, and/or any Group/Company involved in the Distribution of their works (Books, CD's, Lines of Art they lend their name to, etc), also has an impact on the Artist's level of fame and their monetary compensation. It is next to impossible to explain all that goes into an Individual's Monetary Success to those whom haven't experienced the business , as the Artist, Family Member, or Professionals who work in the business. There are countless Fabulous Artists of every venue that go unknown by the greater Public, each with potential, but all sharing one common weakness as I described. They don't feel and believe they can, will, or are worthy of. We each get/attract matching Energies/Frequencies. Knowing this is an opportunity to make adjustments and experience far more desirable Life Journey Experiences. ✨
I used to watch this series a while back when I started painting seriously. Watching all the drama was frustrating to me but it made me more aware of my materials, archiving, and provenance. I established practices around this knowledge. The last decade, I haven't painted at all. Watching the series now, I'm curious about the artists introduced here which sends me off to explore more about them. The geek in me loves all the forensics and the researcher in me loves all the history and detective work. Thank you!
I am intrigued, Kate, that you sound like a very serious painter, as you put it, and actually took steps to ensure your "work" survived into the future and yet you then state you have not painted in over a decade... Kate, pick up that brush! 😄 from one painter to another, you gotta keep going!
25:30 "The local papers are rather detailed about every aspect of these thrilling events. Of the St. John's Fete here, we learn that they had a darts competition, and even something called a 'pig rolling competition'. It was won by a lady called 'Mrs. Death'. And frankly, the mind boggles." I'm dying. roflmao!!
The owner of the Lucian Freud painting, to me, had a recemblence to the painting... So happy for the Wilson family that there painting is real, and the glass stained window in the light, was beautifull.
Another artist who frequented the French pub and was friends with Francis and all of them was Harold Arthur Drury whose works I have here in Vermont ;over 300 paintings. Harold is my father and I am still working on his provenance years after his death in 2003
I absolutely love this show, but I have to laugh sometimes when they go for the drama and Phil is gobsmacked that the painting is actually THE RIGHT SIZE if you measure from painted edge to painted edge - oh my gosh, that little exposed canvas border (plainly visible to the naked eye) was making it seem larger! Who knew! Not me with my 30+ years of experience in the art world 😂😂😂😂
Love your channel and always been a huge art fan! Thank you for your wonderful perspectives on people who have these priceless pieces to be a part of their lives especially for the Wilson family. I feel their loss and God has His hands over this wonderful family. If I was rich, I would gladly help them without any hesitation. God bless you all of Perspective!
Lance’s emotional reaction to learning how his grandfather willingly put his entire fortune on the line to save a friend and his family from a violent regime was, by far, the best part of your entire series. That moment was worth everything, it was absolutely beautiful. ❤
I enjoy these very much. I do wish to say some of us creative folk will change our signatures. It depends on my mood and creative thinking in the moment, or if I'm in a hurry, tired, excited, or bored
Who else actually spotted the subject of the Lucian Freud painting in the group picture? That's the amazing thing about this type of almost "caricature" type portrait. He managed to really capture the essence of the young man's features.
@@theresabraddock9310 The young man in the photo that was ultimately identified as the subject of the portrait. I spotted him when they first showed the picture and was amazed when it turned out to be him. Just wondered it anyone else did the same.
I actually spotted it right away and instantly confirmed by the expert. My lowly humbled opinion about Freud's partial painting is that he painted the entire facial features himself and not partially. I've come to this conclusion based entirely on Freud's idiosyncratic persona. From what was shared by people who've associated with Freud during that era, Freud was more or less a difficult man to live with. His narcissistic persona reminds us how prideful and egocentric these type of people can be. Therefore, Freud made sure he captured the unique facial features of his art professor. Someone like Freud would be too proud to leave any facial features to someone else to paint. Freud's vision in the peculiar facial features has become his signature mark over the years. Coincidentally, he would certainly NOT leave it up to chance or so.eone else to interpret his vision. Oh heck no, he'd complete all that by himself and leave the rest for someone else to complete. It's almost like as a new up and coming artist, he saw those distinct features as his signature marks because he's learning about it and found it fascinating. And like some teenagers, they only want to improve on their future signature marks and just ignore the rest.
Freud painted it and gave it to somebody as a sentimental gift. It was not meant to be treated as something of financial worth. That's why he didn't sign it because that was his intent from the start. It was given as a priceless piece of his heart. I'm saying this as a professional painter myself of thirty-plus years.
At THAT Time, Maybe Yes... but over time things like THAT get "lost"... An Artist should ALWAYS, SIGN & DATE their paintings.... and IF it IS given as a "gift"...it NEEDS to b noted "IN the artist hand" on the BACK of the painting. The front of the painting, can painted Over.
@@DaveRCollins1 They say it is unfinished but maybe it is finished as far as he wanted it to be... If he gave it to someone from love then it might mean that their love and friendship is unfinished... We all know, artists can be cryptic
One thought was he gave the canvas to someone else to paint one. What if he picked up someone elses canves with the landscape already on it. And he blended the landscape into his portret.
The colors of the stained glass would have been changed. The gold color with the yellow sunlight would have bleached out the intensity. Change it to red and the color intensifies with the sunlight. A touch of gold in the surrounding details works to highlight those details just as a gold picture frame highlights a painting.
If you like stained glass windows...I strongly recommend visiting the Sint-Janskerk (Church of Saint John) in GOUDA, the Netherlands. The church itself falls short of being spectacular. But the stained glass windows are so exquisite they were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
50 million for a Lucian Freud. 50 million for any painting is crazy in my opinion. That is to say if I had 200 million I wouldn't even pay that for a DaVinci, and he's one of my favorites. That said I'm really glad Freud was able to see his work reach high success and money while he was still alive at the time.
Amateur opinion: it really is easy to see this as a starter painting from a talented artist while in school, partially unfinished. A man of mercurial moods, strong feelings & control of his art hates the unfinished outcome, perhaps it had only been meant as a sentimental gift? So he denies it later in life. Who can say? They have come as close as they can & it does not diminish either the painter or the painting. Well done.
I mean, based on the Durig fakes they showed on the programme, Alice's drawing doesn't look like it could be by him at all. Presumably there must be other Durig fakes out there that are closer to this one for the expert to have come to that verdict but in that case I find it a bit strange that they wouldn't show those on the programme...
The expert has over 9 years studied 7000 Rodin and purported Rodin drawings, a good chunk faked by Drurig and other forgers. Then she went on to humiliate the experts at the Musee d’Orsay, a leading French art museum, with her keen eye. Sorry to say, but the lady has the goods. I trust her expertise and thus her verdict. Clearly she’s seen the gamut of what Drurig can do, and he probably ranges from the awful (the Baltimore museum drawings we saw) to the almost passable-the British lady’s drawing.
I've always put Lucian Freud in the same British post-expressionist box as Francis Bacon. Apparently they do have something more in common from their formative years, Benton End.
Freud probably denies he painted that painting because is absolutely terrible! My great-grandfather Raphael Senseman an American landscape painter, when he didn't like what he had painted he simply wouldn't sign it. I assume that this might be the case with Freud here?
I think it is rather good. It has drama. I don't know why Freud didn't sign it, but I imagine if someone he despised had it, particularly if it was stolen, he may have denied painting it, so the person he hated would not profit from it.
To me it looked like someone who "lost everything", i'm assuming that back home she had her artwork spread around her estate, possibly multiple houses, as display. Then whe she fled to England she knows it's not exactly her space? She's merely a guest. So she keeps all of her personal items in her bedroom. It does look like how we use posters, of couse. And decorating our rooms with posters is also keeping our personal items in our personal space. But I don't know, although she still had so much it felt like she really did lose things and was living almost secluded in her room in a way? idk how else to describe it.
She was also a former Queen of France. She’s not about to deck her palatial bedroom in a fine country palace gifted to her by Queen Victoria with posters like she some college dorm flunky. Lol.
😳😳😳😳. So Philip Mould was way off in valuation. He said 75K pounds. But 33K is so paltry. It’s less than half of the predicted valuation. Well, I bet that woman was happy to get anything so she can live in her home for a bit longer. It’s definitely not the outcome of the lovely Aussie couple who sold their painting for $700k.
Love planks! This workout was a little easy but I enjoyed it! One question: I’ve had both knees replaced… what can I do instead of child’s pose as I can’t put weight on my knees?
The part of the painting which Freud didn’t touch was the left hand side. He had obviously painted over a horizontal landscape and didn’t have time to fill in the rest of the background, which is why we see the unusual horizontal trees of the underlying painting. The expert said that the entire figure was done by one artist’s hand, with the exception of the trees on the left hand side, and the reason why Freud said he didn’t paint the whole thing. What could be more obvious?
Right? I hope they actually did that but didn't show us. I would be going through that whole line of documents untill there were no documents left, just to see if anyone further down the line mentioned anything.
for the 2.09 min maria izquierdo...have inherithed one, littlepainting in gouache from a series of circus, a gift from the artist to my grandfather and signed 43 yes thats the time etc
"you can't use the masters images on the program" (de Koonig institue), but we are all searching for the image online right now to see it... did it really matter De Koonig org?
Not being able to see the Other child painting.. it's hard to tell, but, ....possibility... that they were done at the SAME time because MAYBE... they were brother and sister??
I cant stress this enough, dont sell your art through someone. never sign a contract and never underestimate your value. You will never gain thru these users . They will do, say anything to dishearten you. Stay true to your work and know your worth. Im sick of hearing people critiques what they do not know.
As i watched the painter on your program . at the end i got a vision of what happened . when froade coming into class and not having a clean canvas so the teacher let him use a picture left by a passed student that painted a landcsape he turned rightside up and painted over it. I got chills when it was comfurmed in me . i got a vision so real . FYI . im from the US .
It is miles better than the Durig samples shown, and much more similar to the known Rodin drawings. I think it’s entirely possible that the Rodin expert made the safer call to say that it’s a forgery-a position requiring much less defense.
Watching this series... just convinces me MORE.. that I Don't want Anything to do with the"Art World". I'll just stick to buying cheap store prints or slap some paint on some canvas MYSELF.. least I'd KNOW where it came from... and DOESN'T Matter WHO did it.
then stay on the fringe and be forgotten. Like saying you wont play in the NBA youll just throw shots in your driveway. You must have very little faith in yourself to just walk away so easily
@@celtoloco788 🥴 they suggested they might slap some paint on a canvas themselves in lieu of buying some cheap prints because they’re totally not interested in the drama of BUYING art, not selling their own. Not sure that says so much about their confidence as it does about their patience and their pocketbook, but you know, go off…
This is why I would only buy something that I like then it doesn’t really matter who painted because the value is in the subject matter and your enjoyment of it.
The 'Rodin' IS A RODIN. i BELIEVE YOU MISSED the comparison of the 'green' dancer when next to the 'red/pink' dancer. They are exactly the same tenique/swirrel/size. maybe you weretoo close to see the exactness.
When the artist said, he had painted part of it ,to me with the painting, being painted over a landscape,he did not do that part of it…gives the artist the out to say I painted some of it, but he didn’t paint all of it ! a landscape that is still very evident in the picture. Henceforth he can claim he didn’t paint at all so therefore it’s not his. But the fact that he painted the main subject,the person, gives it credence that it is by the artist.
Anybody else think the big reveal in Episode 3 was obnoxiously overdramatized? Complete with the "28 Days Later" style brooding music, while the hosts act as if this is akin to finding out one of your parents was not related and also a serial rapist, then mildly goading the owner into expressing equally melodramatic disappointment...hopeful she'll cry on camera? And she's...just fine and simply happy to know.
Because rich people don’t want to buy Delaroche. Rich people are after the trendiest artists because they want to buy art that will increase in value. That’s ancient Chinese art (rich Chinese people are now vacuuming up all Chinese art found outside China), the impressionists, the famous modern artists, and old masters. Delaroche fits in none of these categories. Thus his relatively low valuation.
Me being a lover of art but completely outside the sphere... find quite weird to see described as "a brilliant portraitist" someone whose models cried in disgust when they saw how he portraited them. I don't know about it possibly being true, though. I've read it here and there along the years in mainstream news outlets from the third world, time and again.
From what I have seen presented by this entire series, each episode affirmatively demonstrates that the _Value_ of a work of art is never as important to it's price as the story which is told about it defines it's worth.

How cute that Archie. He looks as if he stepped right through time from early 1800 on that wonderful suit he had on. So precious.
What a joy watching these episodes❤!! Thaaanks❤
As a child my family and I spent many hours in Chicago's art museum. My father enjoyed drawing. I really enjoy your show
wow what a story
Fiona's and Philip's compassion towards her is fantastic. CONGRATULATIONS! RIP, Neil!
One of the best shows ever to learn about art and the drama that goes along with these masterpieces.
I was on the edge of my seat, but so excited that her painting was the original and lost treasure royal treasure that they found! How amazing!
Fiona and Philip will sell you the whole seat but you'll only need the edge!
It was very exciting! ... and a most interesting exploration + discoveries.

for the 2.09 min maria izquierdo...have inherithed one, littlepainting in gouache from a series of circus, a gift from the artist to my grandfather and signed 43 yes thats the time etc
good work
The painting of a gentleman by L. Freud looks like it was done as a portrait of the owner!
Good content.
Love this video
If it was stolen im sure he never forgot about that and could it be possible that he didnt want anyone to benefit from it since it was stolen
My thought exactly. He denied the basket of fruit picture after a falling out, as well.
"you can't use the masters images on the program" (de Koonig institue), but we are all searching for the image online right now to see it... did it really matter De Koonig org?
Not being able to see the Other child painting.. it's hard to tell, but, ....possibility... that they were done at the SAME time because MAYBE... they were brother and sister??
It looks like a self portrait to me. I haven’t finished watching yet but the hair on it is so like the photo of the younger Freud and the mean eyes@!
Kits shenanigans are precious
You need to have Stephanie and all her LaLand girls to get their robes on and help you with that gravel! 😅
I cant stress this enough, dont sell your art through someone. never sign a contract and never underestimate your value. You will never gain thru these users . They will do, say anything to dishearten you. Stay true to your work and know your worth. Im sick of hearing people critiques what they do not know.
How to sell it then?
Does anyone know what movie the music that starts at 1:29:17 is from? It sounds really familiar, but I can't seem to put a name to it.
As i watched the painter on your program . at the end i got a vision of what happened . when froade coming into class and not having a clean canvas so the teacher let him use a picture left by a passed student that painted a landcsape he turned rightside up and painted over it. I got chills when it was comfurmed in me . i got a vision so real . FYI . im from the US .
I think this is a real Rhodin. It is almost an impression, no real body lines just the clothing that represents thè ðance formation underneath.
I thought it a much more beautiful sketch than the other Cambodian series!
It is miles better than the Durig samples shown, and much more similar to the known Rodin drawings. I think it’s entirely possible that the Rodin expert made the safer call to say that it’s a forgery-a position requiring much less defense.
Watching this series... just convinces me MORE.. that I Don't want Anything to do with the"Art World". I'll just stick to buying cheap store prints or slap some paint on some canvas MYSELF.. least I'd KNOW where it came from... and DOESN'T Matter WHO did it.
then stay on the fringe and be forgotten. Like saying you wont play in the NBA youll just throw shots in your driveway. You must have very little faith in yourself to just walk away so easily
@@celtoloco788 🥴 they suggested they might slap some paint on a canvas themselves in lieu of buying some cheap prints because they’re totally not interested in the drama of BUYING art, not selling their own. Not sure that says so much about their confidence as it does about their patience and their pocketbook, but you know, go off…
@@bobcatred Not ‘in lieu of’, she said ‘or’. Other than that you are right.😊
I strongly do agree with you!
This is why I would only buy something that I like then it doesn’t really matter who painted because the value is in the subject matter and your enjoyment of it.
The Watercolor is by A. Rodin.
They did not exceed a preponderance of doubt.
They need a show of the Delaroche St Emelies all side by side. Even the stained glass.
This is pretty underrated..
The drama they try to draw out takes away from the amazing art
On Freud: When a painter says he didn't "do" a painting, it can also mean it's just not quite done.
Oh, I was so disappointed by the Rodin! Alice’s drawing is beautiful! It captures the feminine movement of the dance. The other fakes do not.
I agree! It was way better than the other fakes we got to see. If it is by Durig, he outdid himself worth that one.
“A fool and their money are soon parted”
The 'Rodin' IS A RODIN. i BELIEVE YOU MISSED the comparison of the 'green' dancer when next to the 'red/pink' dancer. They are exactly the same tenique/swirrel/size. maybe you weretoo close to see the exactness.
That valuation of $75k for the Delaroche sure seems pretty low. If it was valued at £1000 back in 1856, that'd be upwards of £150k today.
The Freud could have been painted by Gary Larsen.its just missing a strange animal doing something odd in the background.
When the artist said, he had painted part of it ,to me with the painting, being painted over a landscape,he did not do that part of it…gives the artist the out to say I painted some of it, but he didn’t paint all of it ! a landscape that is still very evident in the picture. Henceforth he can claim he didn’t paint at all so therefore it’s not his. But the fact that he painted the main subject,the person, gives it credence that it is by the artist.
Huhhhhh
🙄
I GUESS I’ll never appreciate good art, it must be my eyes deceiving me.
Perspective Such musical diction
Good to see Dr. Barndoor Grover back...
You'd think it would be an easy thing to match that DNA to someone else.
Hmm, I can understand why floyd denied painting that. He must've knew the sitter and had sometime bad happen with the sitter.
Anybody else think the big reveal in Episode 3 was obnoxiously overdramatized? Complete with the "28 Days Later" style brooding music, while the hosts act as if this is akin to finding out one of your parents was not related and also a serial rapist, then mildly goading the owner into expressing equally melodramatic disappointment...hopeful she'll cry on camera? And she's...just fine and simply happy to know.
The unique notability of the Freud painting could make it worth well over $700,000. - Corey Chambers, Art Broker
Why is the ORIGINAL Paul de la Roche valued at only £50,000? 🤔🤔🤔
I thought that was pretty low as well
Because rich people don’t want to buy Delaroche. Rich people are after the trendiest artists because they want to buy art that will increase in value. That’s ancient Chinese art (rich Chinese people are now vacuuming up all Chinese art found outside China), the impressionists, the famous modern artists, and old masters. Delaroche fits in none of these categories. Thus his relatively low valuation.
Me being a lover of art but completely outside the sphere... find quite weird to see described as "a brilliant portraitist" someone whose models cried in disgust when they saw how he portraited them. I don't know about it possibly being true, though. I've read it here and there along the years in mainstream news outlets from the third world, time and again.
