Great Art Explained totally unique merchandise available here - Please consider supporting this channel on Patreon, thanks! or if you prefer a one-off donation - This is all three short videos edited together, with some extra scenes added that I originally left out due to time constraints. It is also edited to flow more as a longer film, and I re-recorded the sound with better technology. This video explains my viewpoint on hell - “What a brilliant series this is“ - Stephen Fry on Twitter 12 December 2020 “Thoroughly researched and cleverly presented, with stunning visuals, Great Art Explained makes you realise that familiarity with a work of art sometimes makes us indifferent to its power“ - Forbes Magazine, 9 July 2020 The Garden of Earthly Delights video was the most popular, voted on by viewers for me to make. I am still taking suggestions, so please put them on the comments of my video “what is your favourite work of art?“ There are no records to tell us what Bosch or his contemporaries were thinking. There are so many theories out there, some more outlandish than others. I have sifted through most of them, and from a process of elimination, come up with what I think is a pretty good idea. I have also come up with several ideas I haven’t seen before. I have based my research around the Bible, Medieval history, infrared scans, art history papers and books and historical documents. But in the end it is still my opinion. If you have an opinion, then why not put it in the comments, and keep the dialogue going? I started “Great Art Explained“ during lockdown. My aim is to make videos which focus on one great artwork. I want to present art in a jargon free, entertaining, clear way with no gimmicks.
