Arturo Pertore here, but you can call me Art. 00:00:00
This is Explorations in Art History, starring me and this hand. 00:00:04
Well, what about the rest of me? 00:00:14
Um, this isn't right. I'm feeling kind of cold and a little bit clammy. 00:00:18
Wait, are they operating on me? 00:00:24
Hey, you can't operate with a hat on and that book. 00:00:27
Don't tell me you have to read a book to operate. 00:00:32
This is too much. 00:00:34
Oh, you know what's better than anesthesia? 00:00:36
Just passing out. 00:00:39
Okay, I'm calm. I'm fine. 00:00:42
Looks like we'll be talking about the Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical periods. 00:00:44
Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation had really stirred the religious pot. 00:00:52
In the early 1600s, the Catholic Church responded with a counter-reformation, 00:00:55
which propelled the Baroque movement and its artistic aims of making Catholic theology appeal to the masses. 00:01:00
Drama and movement were some of the ways Baroque artists sought to engage the viewer. 00:01:07
For example, in contrast to Michelangelo's David, 00:01:11
sculptor Giovanni Bernini captures the moment of action as David rears back to fling his stone. 00:01:15
I say, after seeing all the David statues, one really wonders, 00:01:21
didn't his mother ever teach him to, I don't know, wear clothes? 00:01:24
Baroque architecture also employed theatrical effects, 00:01:27
replacing the straight lines of the Renaissance with flowing curves, 00:01:31
elaborate domes, and ornamentation, 00:01:34
like the Chapel of San Carlino, whose walls were designed to weave in and out 00:01:37
as if they were formed of some flexible material instead of rigid stone. 00:01:41
Now we come to Caravaggio and, ooh, Chiaroscuro, 00:01:47
the technique of painting dark, dark shadows and... 00:01:52
Okay, it's not dark, dark shadows if it's complete pitch darkness. 00:01:55
I'm not afraid of the dark, but we really should turn on some lights quickly. 00:02:00
Soon. 00:02:04
Oh, there we go. 00:02:05
As I was saying, Kiar's guru used dark shadows and lighted areas of interest to create drama. 00:02:06
Although he didn't invent Kiar's guru, 00:02:13
Caravaggio added a new level of realism that the church mostly appreciated. 00:02:16
Except when he portrayed saints as commoners with bare feet and dirty fingernails. 00:02:20
Caravaggio was a prickly character whose temper often got him into brawls. 00:02:25
What are you saying? I have temper? 00:02:29
I don't have got s*** talking about. This is a b****. 00:02:31
His turbulent lifestyle landed him in an early grave at 37, 00:02:33
but his style influenced artists across Europe. 00:02:37
37? I don't f***ing can't even understand this s*** I'm talking about. 00:02:41
The Baroque era marked the beginning of the landscape as an acceptable subject. 00:02:45
Once considered too secular, 00:02:49
painters like Claude Lorrain made landscape painting popular and lucrative. 00:02:51
A Frenchman who immigrated to Rome, Lorrain was a meticulous draftsman. 00:02:56
His paintings were based on numerous drawings made on location, 00:03:00
but he never shows the harsh realities, creating instead an idealized image of nature. 00:03:03
Though Lorrain often included figures in his paintings, they were always secondary. 00:03:09
He is reported to say on the sale of a painting, 00:03:14
The money is for the landscape, the figures you can have for free. 00:03:17
Peter Paul Rubens was the rock star of the Baroque period. 00:03:22
A man of boundless energy, he spoke six languages 00:03:26
and visited the courts of Italy, Spain, France, England, and the Netherlands 00:03:29
on diplomatic missions, often bringing art as gifts. 00:03:33
Well, hey, turn that down! 00:03:37
No, he did not play an electronic lute. 00:03:40
Rubens lived big and painted bigger. 00:03:44
Raised as a Catholic, he jumped headfirst into the Counter-Reformation. 00:03:47
His men were muscular and women robust. 00:03:51
As we see in this painting, even a subject as touching as the Queen Mother, Marie de' Medici, 00:03:56
seeking reconciliation with her young son, the King of France, becomes an energetic exercise. 00:04:01
Like performing one of the labors of Hercules. 00:04:07
Get me out of here! 00:04:09
Okay, who hasn't heard of Rembrandt? 00:04:14
I don't believe it. Go to your corner. 00:04:18
I'm sorry. Come back. 00:04:23
Today, one of the most famous painters in the world, 00:04:27
Rembrandt gained international renown during his lifetime, 00:04:30
not for his paintings, but for his etchings. 00:04:33
For Europeans of Rembrandt's day, 00:04:36
printmaking gave them a way to see pictures of distant places, 00:04:38
interesting people, and artistic scenes. 00:04:41
It was their mass communication 00:04:44
and was as revolutionary for their time 00:04:46
as the creation of the Internet in ours. 00:04:48
And for recreation, Rembrandt would... 00:04:51
Wait for it. 00:04:53
Sketch. 00:04:55
That's right. 00:04:55
About 1,400 Rembrandt sketches survive. 00:04:56
He would sketch on whatever was at hand. 00:04:59
The backs of bills, printed pages, and even funeral announcements. 00:05:01
Must have been a boring eulogy. 00:05:06
His paintings were in demand as well, 00:05:08
but perhaps most unique is the number of self-portraits Rembrandt painted. 00:05:10
Between 40 and 50 oil paintings, 00:05:14
depending on which expert you talk to, 00:05:16
32 etchings, and 7 drawings. 00:05:18
As he aged, his paintings became less theatrical and more introspective. 00:05:20
Rembrandt had one fatal flaw. 00:05:26
He couldn't control his spending any better than a Washington politician. 00:05:28
Eventually, his debts became so great, he had to declare bankruptcy. 00:05:32
I guess that's why he was Baroque. 00:05:36
It's Baroque, but he's broke. 00:05:43
Hey! That outfit cost me a lot of money. 00:05:46
Begun in the 1700s, the Rococo era was art of the aristocracy for the aristocracy. 00:05:50
It was the Baroque era ending not with a bang, but with a party. 00:05:56
Technically flashy, but without deep thought or emotional drama, 00:06:01
the Rococo celebrated the leisure activities of the upper class. 00:06:04
In Fragonard's The Swing, as one man labors at pulling the rope swinging the object of his attention, 00:06:08
the young woman flirts and flounces her skirts for her secret lover hiding in the bushes. 00:06:13
Hardly the stuff of philosophers. 00:06:18
Rococo style signaled a shift from Rome to Paris as the new capital of culture and fashion in Europe. 00:06:21
But the excesses of the aristocracy in the Rococo period would soon lead to the French Revolution, 00:06:27
an artistic revolt called neoclassicism. 00:06:33
There couldn't have been two movements more at odds. 00:06:36
Down, boy, down. Stop it with you. 00:06:39
Always fighting. 00:06:43
Neoclassical artists looked backward to the classical era for their inspiration. 00:06:44
Born in the age of enlightenment, a philosophy which prized reason and scientific knowledge, 00:06:51
it was a serious time for serious artists. 00:06:56
In The Oath of Horatii by Jacques-Louis David, 00:06:59
the three brothers put public duty above private desires as they vowed to fight for Rome. 00:07:03
For neoclassical artists, there were no messy brushstrokes allowed. 00:07:08
A finished painting should be perfectly smooth. 00:07:12
Hmm? Listening? Hand? Paying attention? 00:07:15
Clear drawing and modeling was paramount, and if you could put someone in a toga, all the better. 00:07:19
The Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical periods included important developments leading to our modern-day art world. 00:07:27
The first licensed art dealers appeared. 00:07:34
The market for art widened to include wealthy merchants and government officials, and mass-produced art through printmaking. 00:07:36
The Royal Academy in London and the Salon in Paris were formed. 00:07:44
These organizations held regular exhibitions that became the most prestigious art shows in Europe. 00:07:48
Neoclassical architecture gave us the Pantheon of Paris, the Arc de Triomphe, Buckingham Palace, 00:07:54
and, over in the New Republic of America, the Capitol Building and the Jefferson Memorial, to name a few. 00:08:00
The world of Western art was expanding. 00:08:05
