Excellent. A imiter
Holbein--The Ambassadors. Fantastic video! The video is a very dynamic exploration of the painting and the period. I use this painting to introduce the Renaissance to my students because it has so many elements that are characteristic of the shifts in thought that were going on. Its clarity and complexity fascinates students, and the video brings out ideas that would be difficult to show or explain without the visual elements that the video uses so well. Very impressive!
Some the theories on the painting and its relationship to death may have been a bit overstated, but my students like the drama of it.
Une vidéo que vous attendez : I would like to see an exploration of the early surrealists or a focus on a particular work that is representative.
