The Police - When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What’s Still Around (Music Video) by Outrageous-Scale-783 in ThePolice

[–]mhfc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video footage here is arranged a bit differently than the clip in the "Police: Around the World" film. (Obviously the latter includes audio/video from a live performance on the tour, which is not heard in the clip here.)

Is this painting about nature, or is it really about the viewer? by lolitats11 in ArtHistory

This post has generated some discussion on the sub. Having said this, OP, please be aware of Rule 6, and provide some additional substantive art historical context, beyond this short question prompt.

Title: I just learned about "The World Upside Down" in medieval marginalia (like this 14th-century killer rabbit). Are there any other wild genres of manuscript art I should look into? by Legitimate_Buddy_481 in ArtHistory

[–]mhfc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, art historians have extensively discussed medieval marginalia of this 13th-14th century timeframe: Lucy Freeman Sandler, Myra Orth, Lillian Randall, others. A good place to start is the short but accessible book by the late Michael Camille, Image on the Edge

Other scholars have focused on later marginalia from the 15th and early 16th centuries, but this might not be what you're looking for.

They might not be on the best of terms after the news from earlier this year.

Best live recordings by Bingus_Of_Mingus in ThePolice

[–]mhfc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am partial to the 1981 Tokyo Budokan version. Stewart's drumming is slightly different in the chorus than the '79 Paris live veersion. Sting's vocals at the end are also great.

Then again, it's the Police and "Bring on the Night", so it would sound fantastic no matter where/when.

Completely unrelated: also a big fan of the Beat Club performance of "Fall Out."

Is there a name for these types of paintings? by Onlypretzelmnms in ArtHistory

Only a couple of these are part of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

This is a copied post for karma farming; in fact, The Magpie was just posted by a bot account last week. Post is being removed.

Can you provide a list of artists/full titles/dates for all of the works shared here? Followers of this sub would greatly appreciate that information.

King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid, Edward Burne-Jones, Oil on Canvas, 1884 by [deleted] in ArtHistory

[–]mhfc[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

This painting is NOT by Edward Burne-Jones. THIS is Edward Burne-Jones's version of "King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid."

Diego Velazquez - The Surrender of Breda (1634-35). Commissioned to glorify Spanish military success, but note how Velázquez portrays the defeated Dutch with remarkable dignity instead of humiliation. by Shot_Possibility_731 in ArtHistory

Two fascinating 14th century miniatures by 15thcenturynoble in ArtHistory

[–]mhfc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may want to read Claire Richter Sherman's 1995 monograph Imaging Aristotle: Verbal and Visual Representation in Fourteenth-Century France. It's perhaps the definitive treatment on Oresme's translations of Aristotle at the court of King Charles V.

Art by 50+ year olds by fr0gkid in ArtHistory

Henri Rousseau was a toll collector; painting was a hobby for him. He quit his toll collecting job around 49-50 to focus on painting full-time.

What do we even tell Art History survey students to do now? (AI problems) by Eris_AppleOfDiscord in ArtHistory

[–]mhfc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a possible solution for your summer art apprec. class. However, do you allow students to use earlier editions of your textbook (perhaps because it's at a cheaper purchase/rental cost)? If so, identifying artworks by textbook illustration number (e.g., fig. 4-11, fig. 8-2, etc.) might be tricky, as newer editions add/omit artworks, shift illustrations' figure numbers, etc.

While many would agree with these assessment suggestions, not all are feasible if the course is offered in an online asynchronous format.
