d. w. ah. 03. ah . ringback ringback ah. ringback these artworks skillfully played with our emotions. a lurid combination of horror and amazement, gothic art is mesmerizing. though its origin state back a good 600 years. the art of the fleet middle ages is surprisingly innovative. ah! what makes these pictures so memorable

role? ah ah, gothic imagery offers up dark secrets, but once deciphered, they tell us the most astonishing stories. ah, the last judgment by steph unlocked, now. it's a truly apocalyptic vision. legions of the damned, pushed through a ravine. devils drag one half to hell. and the other half is bound for paradise. the bless it crowded together, they flood towards

a gate accompanied by music. lucknow portrays the bless it from the rear so that the viewer can identify with them. this version of paradise was created in 1435 and hangs in a gothic church. in stark contrast, a separate painting shows the damned and their tormentors, devils, monsters, and beasts. they forcibly drag sinners towards hell exposed naked helpless. interestingly, ladies of the ruling class are also depicted among the sinners. they are recognizable by their fine head wear and a cardinal, and a pope, a king, even the message, church nobility,

titles are of little use. hell makes no exceptions. it's hard to imagine how terrifying it may have been nearly 600 years ago. scandalous asylum hotter. we may now be hardened by mod medias to wish more than can enjoy lockson's monsters. all do might observe us then. when really frightened pasta workers forced, i got more than half course images of hell. like this, exhort has to lead a good life and avoid sin. that's the warning. does his demand defend long no. brought the christian doctrine of sin to stark reality. every shya greed for money, the sin of the fat one, luxurious, she surrendered to lust. out gall this miss the scene of this man

with cup in hand. and no sooner have the dice been cast than the gambling addict is dragged away by beasts. monsters torment the avaricious sinner with his own coins. lopez. but did such images of hell, truly touch the lives of people back then? not know, stoops fruits that i don't for blocking a died of the plague in 1451. so sandy anchor. and at that time, there were about $200.00 deaths per day in calon governments, by whom we can imagine these conditions easily dell, the cemetery, can't take any more dead smells noon, and gifts off an unbearable stench in the late summer heat spits on my hits of either to the feet off, i don't like listen cust. thank the plague.

it wasn't called the black death for nothing. ah, what role does aught play in times of pandemic? in times when people live in great fear, love to go to the tardy sit on the late cossack. art is deeply human, certain architect, it expresses feelings that still touches to day 5 or 600 years later law up her law curves. this human dimension, it makes it particularly valuable and moving. why particular more about aunty emerald bust is a dodge vehicle to should i personally find out what distinguishes this late gothic german art is it's a bulky, not very good character. there is something appealing about these pictures, and at the same time you don't understand their aesthetics at all. nicholas could ever feel many things initially irritated with the animal house, ultimately tea and the

range of topics in gothic art is broad from christian to pro fame formats, very widely from a large altered piece to a tiny miniature panel. paintings with an erotic narrative are rare in the late middle ages, but they do exist. the magic of love is a prime example. the consequence to let soon akin when a whiten over the whole constellation can still be recognized as highly erotic. i don't, it seems like a need to woman's clothing or lack of clothing actually makes her even more attract, died that on a kinsmen also fought angle. i believe you can immediately see that this is not a nature loving nudity or an innocent nudity. like even the garden of eden. sure to get like title by if and poverty salanda. so it's the culturally formed erotic notated before because she is still wearing some clothing. i see,

even though it is a park lad astorga pecked when an uncle and another fully dressed person. either this gentleman wearing as loot is watching, won't ever, through cooked. but this is some kind of erotic mechanics or visual marker that still works to day as it did in the 15th century, and also fortunately damn from its internet, one next to the young woman, a bunks with an oversized heart inside. she holds of flint and sponge in her hand lighting and dousing the heart at the same time as she practices her magic. the question is, who does the heart belong to gothic thought bubbles show us what's going on in their heads. even the parrot on the right, as a banner as well as the dog

at the couples feet, they are all communicating with one another, thus as to fish for us, for cynthia on that. but it's typical of the 15th century that 1st chance and because they are simply unbelievably real quick. what's i going to say show us every day, culture and objects naturally and then gets, then there is always a break stop. vega is, for example, it's more important to show the whole room of a room with 2 windows as does not just a sectional that logical house is the staff should only be he organise as or did the pictures, meaning is more important than absolute realism debit. doyle or luba is on an absolutely alyssa. so what actually is gothic art? the term gothic is attributed to the italian george over saudi. considered the founding father of art history. when we're sorry,

wrote the following quote. in 1568. he was mocking the art form. gothic means clumsy and in harmonious in his criticism, for sorry, referred primarily to lee architecture that nordic nations had brought to italy for, sorry, demarcated style, north of the alps. there is no doubt he preferred the italian renaissance but to day we used the term gothic without judgment. at the time, churches offered the most access to artworks. however, these paintings and sculptures were not considered to be works of art in their own right. they were cult objects. ah, the large winged altars that have withstood the test of time are particularly

impressive. ah, one of the most beautiful is in the coolant cathedral, the altar piece of the patron saints of cologne. another masterpiece by steph unlocked her. the adoration of the kings follows the centuries old tradition of the mother of god and the magic and yet luck, nor creates a work that is new and different. mary is depicted so realistically that the viewer can almost feel her cloak and touch her crown. on the left panel of the altar, saint ursula and the virgins approached the viewer in youthful feminine delicacy. and on the opposite wing of lifesize portrait of saint garry on

isn't often muzzled. some graf now suddenly they are close enough to touchstone to carry on. is the one in golden armour, even with a velvet cross, you have the mailing, you could knock on it and it's a metal issue. and that realism brings the characters alive. they're actually here among us. and you can imagine them much better than in some abstract painting. again, if you pray is holy gary on please hear me or something like that. it's as if gary on is looking at you and he's looking towards the center for that. but some of them seem to be looking right at the viewer, so you come face to face with them as if they are real people. it's as if they're here, the illusion workers are chosen. but how did diff unlock, know, create the solution? in 1442, that the scenes look so true to life. latin demonstrates his mastery of painting. the metal armor shimmers as if it truly is metal. the velvet is

soft and shimmery. lou, the chalice is depicted so realistically that viewers can almost feel the cold smooth surface with their fingers. or at the time the city fathers commissioned the altar peace of the patron saints of cologne. and by creating a virtuoso painting, they created a lasting monument to themselves as well. lorna had terry, early on in the mid 30th locked now, mastered the ability to depict shiny metal transparent glasses glittering. gemstones starts with all of this using just paint law. he did,

it's absolutely convincingly of the city. fathers must have been amazed at what a marvel it was because and this marble put them in a good light to. they were trying to tell the viewers that they were on top of things up the state of the art state of the art longer exemplified the power of art in the late middle ages. during his time, the painter was so influential that he himself was a member of the cologne city council. he represented the painters guild. but where did locklear learn these skills? he must have been familiar with the works of the iconic yarn for nyc. an eggs movement began in the netherlands and was an instant sensation, paintings like that didn't even exist during the renaissance, which was happening at the same time in italy, a tiny panel painting by unfair, like, craftsmanship at its finest. no mallet i, it's dusty. it was

a great innovation in the art world. yeah. and it most certainly came from yon fun ike in the netherlands opa the it spread throughout europe. he was the innovator. this is the 1st since ancient times to capture surface textures. and most of all optical phenomena manifests so with one optical phenomenon is the light shining through a church window. with raised leaving gleaming splotches on the walls and floor board. this golden crown, with all its precious stones, a perfect allusion and dust as it was, was in my opinion, this is something that yon font icon must have developed. the ability to represent gold with painting of yellow white, black, brown and gold cummins gold that really shines cleansed before this time. as for

her, the only way to do it was to actually take gold foil and rub it on the painting it and it does shine. but only when light hits it. and you can always see something flat on the surface of the paintings, or both let you dispute as if this is the pioneering achievement of late gothic art. gold is no longer reproduced with real gold medals are now painted in relationship to how light falls art is infused with a newfound liveliness depth and beauty. debate of age, built on it. i know under that limit, missed me a pin me a world of images underwent of profound change eyes it used to be that the primary focus was what was objectively there. for example, a red object was completely red,

was it's a red ball was red, the water. but now the red ball is only partly red glove where the light falls like a white spot is created as if the object is smooth. and so there is a white highlight ist, and there's black in places where there's no light at all buses from them getting on. so the transformation is that it's no longer what i know about the object. but what i see does is cuz it's an intellectual achievement. it's not craftsmanship beneath many people believe that this has something to do with meticulous and skillful, talented us. but it's actually just the opposite of talent. it has to be processed in the brain life. one has to understand these principles, and it went through europe like wildfire is a people were bold over by this new form of illusion, not the perfect illusion. in the 15th century, it came as a shock, a short, 20 or 30 years beforehand, affects like these were impossible for painters.

and thanks to this true life painting, today's viewers can read the pictures like detectives, the alter piece of the patron saints of cologne, carrion's armor reveals an explosive story. the saints armour reflects window crosses. however, they are not church windows. the question becomes, what location to the city fathers choose for this artistic marvel? the answer, the chapel of the cologne council and the chapel is actually a converted synagogue. residency permits were no longer extended for jews and cologne. in 1442, the middle of the 15th century was a time of anti semitism. and so the altar was used for much more symbolic reasons

than simple spiritual devotion. the work of stefan lacuna formulated sharp ideological urban policy and the illegal colonel as in all the stones and off come off my darlin legal heights does in the former colon synagogue and all he was asked to visually demonstrate the superiority of christianity judaism will believe. according to john, one verse 40 johan, as, as the word becomes flesh does lot and it can eyes and must also become an image doth also off near to it or to explain to kazama is creating christian imagery and a triumphant way denila that is now unpleasant for us, for, ah, ah, this altar is a show of power, an impressive one. because the ideological and emotional impact of such an altar

was much greater almost 600 years ago than it is today. ah. alters were not only commissioned by city fathers or the church. they were also donated by wealthy individuals, both aristocrats and commoners. would the donation of an altar piece of family hopes to shorten it. stay in purgatory. a don't need it. alter also, serves as a very secular representation. look at us, we can afford something like this. ah, such a virtuously painted picture. makes an impression. ah,

ah, business fagel, i swear this is a time. it was comparatively few paintings, although that is of course not. absolute paintings weren't and unknowns, but there was an very limited access else during the middle ages. there were more and more paintings if there was an inflation. at 1st there was perhaps an image of mary or the crucifixion in a church years later, there were 70 alters in a church, and each one featured a painting as it inside them as of a student bid at atlanta as well as lloyd to give them back then there were certainly fewer pictures than to day for her always and none date had with them. even the things we don't see a such like commercial that for a label, alice build it, but those are images that influence us all the time, which to me it wasn't like that back then they're not in danger. but the 15th century was also a turning point in the port. i just, it's i that was when printed pictures were introduced. once, if up i it will suddenly images became present at an unimaginable scale. it will

help least unbound muscle present. a media revolution happened in the middle of the 15th century. the invention of the printing press by your highness, good and bad. from 1450 onwards, it also benefited paintings. the new technique revolutionized observation and perception. around 1450, the demand for pictures and books was equally great. in the beginning, several printing processes existed at the same time. in this tiny bavarian prayer book from around 1440, the pictures are printed, but the text is still hand written. the beaten den aunt's de heim under stephen, would all come close to undertaking voice knows who prayed worshippers at home or worshippers in the monastery. wanted to have a visual idea of salvation, christie,

and above all. so what the passion of christ looked like at if by so pictures began to be included with prayer books fairly quickly. the bit rare books are very small, and it's nice to imagine that you can pick up a book like this and pray it. and at the same time study and admire the small pictures wound on and use the image to reinforce your inner devotional under light of tact. this work literally wrote publishing history, a pilgrimage to the holy land was not only put on paper in words, but also illustrated. in addition to depictions of traditional costumes or crocodiles, the travel book shows so called v duda, or city views of folded panorama of jerusalem. it is considered the 1st topic graphically correct.

view of the holy city. technically brilliant. the copper plate, engravings of martin shone gower, st. anthony, tormented by demons, shown gower and grave. the motif into copper plate in extreme detail. as the son of a goldsmith. he must have learned to work with metal. sean gower depicted saint anthony surrounded by a host of tortures. monsters. the piece is said to have even inspired a painting by the mighty italian michelangelo t the wounds and saw english origin air to see him. these figures are so incredibly original argument that they were widely admired in the 15th and 16th centuries and were copied by other artists michelangelo. we know,

for example that michelangelo took a piece of paper and went to the fish market to study the fish that he suspected were used for sean gowers monster heads cookson phone go us for mooted to this copper engraving by shown gower is considered to be the largest at the time, christ carrying the cross engraved around $1475.00. a medieval picture puzzle. copies of the print spread throughout europe from southern germany to the

iberian peninsula. o in late gothic art genres, intertwine, design influences, painting and sculpture. a melting pot of media's move, thanks to the new art forms, the viewers of your are treated to a completely new visual experience. works of art are considered masterpieces even without color moon. and so these sculptures are without a colorful version that would have been previously inconceivable. tillman raymond, shadows beneath painting tells of mary magdalen seen jesus after the resurrection. ah, the sculptor used the copper and grieving by shown dower as a template. a yar assholes book,

the sylvie dumb in the relief, has an awesome sense of the great trauma. so the faults of the garments are in movement of as if windows blowing through a lesson in order for shoes, se lutrece more particularly you pay the landscape is also very special to see marker the hatching changes from hill to hill. and from our view, the landscape seems much more varied with this obscure indifference. yes, your old lady, for help only please. as dorcas solar as wooten kelly thie dramatically. the dramatic dimension is added alls and creates death dani for all. these are actually tools of graphic art. it will mosque was told that if fussy, knows sick a see a maria, and more younger fix your weather, locker, or shown gower lehman, schneider, or from leyden today. their names are known only to a few but did these artists already

see themselves as artists? the concept of the ingenious, and the individually creed of artist is said to have been developed during the renaissance de milo, the painters, and sculptors and so on. were craftsman by profession. glad means they were part of the middle. upper middle class was often with some property and education. you can, almost all of them could write the unknowns out. on the other hand, it has to be said that at the time the artists were clearly not the same kind of craftsman as locksmiths or shoemakers. and so they transcend mere craftsman status because of their names. they were famous artist loom to consider gifted martin shone gower, the virtual, so engraver mastered to genres, creating copper plate, engravings and panel paintings. an italian scholar in the 19th

century wrote that michelangelo was right to admire this artist from the far north . the scholar had seen this tableau by shown gower in the art collection of a noble sicilian. as kenzie is yelling all, it's just a small wooden panel of us and it really has something jewel like about it. it has its price. i'm. you have to have an exceptionally good artist lucifer, but after it's finished. but you can place it next to a window or you can hold it in your hand unless it's small and take a very close look at the beautiful details. you digitize, cowen believable. it is that in such a tiny picture, there is an entire lance ala has in just a few centimeters. you have a lake, feels a block of sheep, a town. you have the feeling that the picture stretches for kilometers into the background, lunch and all of this in such a small scale that of course, it's totally astonishing. it's not really not for us since we're used to depth from

pictures. we know photography of 4 people back then, let's say around 1475. just the fact that something like this existed was that must have been quite extraordinary though. does it does, will help keep the great centers of art north of the alps. we're located in cologne, prague, and especially in southern germany. but many rural pilgrimage churches also have the power and means to commission famous artists. this is how the small sway been village teeth and bon gives us the story of a great work of art. in the church of saint mary magdalen, the magdalen altar tells of mary magdalene voyage to southern france that even wanna attest the teeth and von altar is an extraordinary work. a very

elaborate oil painting on wood after it was probably the most refined, modern and grandest work of art that existed in southern germany at that time. that's an fy. far from it obstruct. the last one you have to get so close to the painting that you almost touch it with your nose. and when you get that closing, you can see all the delicacy and sophistication i paintings in front as a little boat, where the saints, lazarus, and magdalena, and martha sale on the sea. and then you look over the water and on the surface there are small ships with very detailed rigging and you get the feeling that it really goes tens or hundreds of kilometers into the pictures. a depth is depicted incredibly wild, uncombed. and if and then there's a city and in front of it, a gallows where someone is being hung out, there were soldiers in a circle and so that they are tiny really ant sized, like very small antics. and they really only consist of dots. but if you're close enough, you can still see, for example, that the soldiers are wearing armor glittering armor. you can see the whole scene

scenery. in addition, other unusual details testify to the virtuosity of the artist. mars's halo is transparent, so that lazarus, his face can be seen above this is the unusually intimate scene of a couple while the man is sleeping. mary magdalen appears to the woman in a dream. the pagan from the south of france is immediately converted to christianity. the clothes of the undressed blow coquettishly from the window. mitsubishi and it came in the middle of the picture. you can see a queer wall made of course, hewn blocks of red sandstone, which is wonderfully painted. it is it, it looks like you could touch it. you can feel the roughness of the style,

and then there are metal rings that cast small shadows as you can actually hear them rattling those iron rings on the wall and so on. and that's a huge motif, this wall o'keefe, the painter, put an infinite amount of work into it. and next to that, there is another church under construction where a broken, ancient and figure of a god stands. it also beautifully painted must. it's holding a chain and on the chain below is a monkey, a chain blind, the monkey linda, apparently alluding to the blind, godless natural world. so the motifs are unbelievable. tv ah, during this time, artists rarely signed their work. here however, the pain to remote alleged himself in gold letters lucas mussa. at the same time he left behind a mystery for the world to solve it. de

la sila does. he then adds a line that became famous in the 19th century, and that has repeatedly led to controversy. in the 19th century, it was labeled as a forgery, but its real clear lays of issue and it reads and scream and complain. art. nobody desires you to day. oh, it hurts. yeah, scream arta scream movie. so screens parts scream and complain all the way up. nobody desires you any more to day after? yes, at 1st glance, that seems strange because as i mentioned it, this line is on the most modern work of the time in the region in vickers can in reality, it's not morning for a time that is past where people understood more about artist of it. it's obviously a rhetorical complaint from an artist who feels that he has not been understood as a full fashion with fruit. in the end, it is self praise, which means something like this. art, it is personified. it should even scream yet because this is his skill, his art i and it is so great in this picture. and by the way,

so new that no one can really appreciate it on zillow ligans does. and i think that's what is meant, which does, does what i'm creating here is so great. you don't understand it. of course our dish does fish did the late middle ages around $1480.00 was a time of transition. many acclaimed ground breaking, artistic developments are becoming known. that is what makes this art so exciting. portraits, for example, are still a rarity. most depictions of people are ideal images. this pair of lovers is also portrayed in an idealized manner. and yet in their faces we can already catch a glimpse of a portrait of real people in

a silver point drawing of the same couple, the artist ticks. the theme of love of little further. the drawing is highly erotic . as he sticks his hand into the soft hat, the extremely sharp dagger speaks for itself is flushed little reminiscent in washing machine guns. i lit up thus, and pockets controversial. or there is disagreement about whether this is the portrait of 2 actual people, or whether it's more of an idealized portrait of lovers. as his leaders passed psyched with both the woman and the man where royal garments. she hands him a bundle of read fabric strings. the actual purpose for which it was used is a mystery. another secret. the question of the couples,

exact relationship with one another is bundle is act the head but need guns for the banner reads. she would not have completely despised you. the one who made the court for you fuzzy. what she's saying is the woman, the one who gave you this court didn't quite despise you against that as a so it's an understatement. she likes you very much again in the, to this. and this is a bit more difficult and controversial is his reply, devils, unwanted. as jackie says, she did it unfairly if i want her to enjoy and as you can, nissan lamb does this is at us really get a little more difficult and it opens up all kinds of possibilities and soon smoothly tightened. eskimiya is the one interpretation as she gave herself to me illegally because i seduced her with love. i. he seemed he was goodness for food harbor. as we are an entropy london of that would be an illusion to the fact that

what we are seeing here is perhaps not befitting or not maritime in the hill. and that this meeting is actually quite improper. iden, anglicans, wincy the as the muslim mission. the assumption is that he is a nobleman, she, a commoner. the many puzzles of this picture contradict the realism of the details. his forearm is tangible and the tenderness of their almost touching fingers is true to life. the superintendent is let's hide india and he, malachite, as a hint against the 15th century was a time when painting actually took on a very strong relationship to the real world alone. you see it and depictions of love like this one the, his kite. but it also appears in the ugliness of other figures as one which are shown simply in the kind and that makes it possible for the disciples of christ to

have very rough physical features which that again of us is inadequately. they look like real people who are made of flesh you have dish asked from quinton as a d, even gillian, etc. the gospel story is brought back to earth and carried out by real people else who can also be ugly or can appear rough or have a strong emotional expression currently in stock in their facial features don't have to be shown balanced and in their vast light, omitting to 4 and half of the music and sight late gothic art portrays profane and christian motifs, lovers, and saints. the erotic, and the terrifying it is surprising how much the genres are mutually dependent. a graphic can influence a sculpture or a panel painting, or even the handicraft

research into the effects of medieval winged altars is far from over. ah, what is striking however, is how skillfully the artists were able to implement optical phenomena at a time when the size of the globe could not yet be estimated at a time when america had not yet been discovered. ah, it is precisely this exacting observation of the world that makes late gothic art as innovative as it is groundbreaking. ah, ah,

ah, the cologne cathedrals alter peace of the patron saints of cologne, features a multitude of different plants underneath the saints feet. vince zima admitted a delicious network who knew and quickly if you look at a medieval natural history book, you can read in it that the fly is the smallest bird you get. a scholars didn't have a great deal of knowledge you couldn't, but they did have wonderfully painted properly observed flies in painting as they just show up out of nowhere result the artist didn't know that the fly wasn't a bird for this, but he saw exactly what it was like music and that it had 6 legs and transparent wings. dorsey to go through the world, could be grasped through observation in a way that natural sciences of the time could not about miss cut in other words. but when exploring nature, art comes 1st for news.

o, this panel paintings summarizes both mystical and optical knowledge. around 1440 stefan lock, no painted madonna in the rose garden, laid gothic painting at its peak windows reflected in a blue sapphire. the gem represents the new moon because the halo of our lady is here at the same time. astronomy, the science of the stars into the crescent moon enlarges to the full moon, the face of our lady. here we are no longer looking at a purely devotional image, not a cult object for prayer. it is a perfect work of art.

ah ah ah ah no re examining the way the holocaust is memorialized. is the culture of remembrance, froze, and time is distracting us from honoring other historical atrocities
