  • @youhavethechemicals there is nothing bad about looking too far into it and obviously the video isn't crap-talking about it. It's no like they say anything bad. It doesn't even matter whether or whether not the artist intended to express all this with his painting. The only thing that IS important is WHAT it expresses and HOW. It helps other artists to create masterpieces like this too. And by the way, I'm sure that Vermeer DID actually calculate every tiny bit of the composition.

  • this is the craziest analysis I‘ve ever encountered.

  • @talktoyourselftherap yep, I think so too!

  • @therewasnoIDfree I agree about the calculations. The man was clearly a genius. The varying tutorials here on Youtube are really helpful to me. I would never have noticed all the angles and points and actual hole in the vanishing point (WOW) and play of light and manipulation of reality!! I think that is great. How can that knowledge be bad? There are a lot of people who are spending much of their lives researching and examining these works, and the fact that they share some of that info!!

  • Its an amazing piece or artwork. But I think they some people look too far into it. Like with the Mona Lisa, people are Still examining it trying to fund meaning. When really there probably isnt one. Its all WAY better than I could do, so Im not trying to crap-talk the art at all.

  • @aminegy

    yes, it's hard to believe

  • But...how can I believe the artist really thought that HUGE when painting?

    Anyway, it is interesting (rediculously...).

  • A bit too superlative. I can imagine an art class imitating the narrator's voice in caricature.

  • Its obvious, ( at least I noticed this immediately) and very out there in a way, but the man on the right is a dead ringer for Roger Daltry, lead singer for "The Who".....I've pointed this out to many people and they all agree. Yes I know it's not true, but he is a dead ringer for him.
