Bernini, David

Villa Borghese is one of my favorite places in this planet :)

Great! Thanks

I love this channel !

Estas estatuas sobre David son uno de los mejores ejemplos para ver como cambia la representación de una misma escena cuando cambia la mentalidad y la época!

Wonderful video, I really enjoyed the comparisons between the two interpretations of David by these amazing sculptors! Thank you!!

it's amazing how he was able to scupt the string in marble, how precise!

Ah Bernini, always beautiful.

Is this a Debate Video... 🙄

I am going to make my own King of David statue.

I am Currently attending an Art History Class and I love it. Magnificent Art Work is always Shown. I fell in Love wit the Craftsmanship and their Purposes. Your Videos are Very Educational and Beautifully Spoken

really like to see an episode of Fouquet's Madonna <3

I really need to go to Rome

I love the human form as art and thanks for the video.

And Tiger has chosen a 7 iron for what he would have used a 9 iron for 10 years ago.

Just want to say, this video was one of the first to help inform me about Bernini and baroque art. I was very lucky to go to the villa borghese last summer, and after watching this video I actually became emotional seeing these amazing sculptures

I like Bernini's works more than Michelangelo's.

"We forget that this is stone" Amazing

The statue makes me feel like he might punch me really hard anytime

Wonderful helpful commentary. The comparison/contrast teaches us about the periods and the impact of the Council of Trent on art.

Bernini's David is David....Michelangelo's David....could be....anybody.

Diría que tiene mas mérito y es mas difícil que la de Miguel Angel ,pero este trabajaba solo y Bernini tenía un gran equipo... aun así, "la Pieta ", es lo máximo que una persona puede hacer, considerando que Miguel Angel, lo fuera... lo cual no está demostrado

For me Bernini would give a run on Michelangelo! Michelangelo makes me cry from the beauty.Bernini the plasticity on the marble makes me in awe! Gosh he really makes me cry that artistry !

Amazing sculpture

can hear you guys all day.

Leyendo el libro de Dan Brown "Ángeles y Demonios" me trajo aquí, a apreciar el arte de Bernini

Art historian:... "creating a stable columnar figure making the human body... a classical column"
Michaelangelo's true feelings:... " man, i gotta fit this figure into this narrow block that's been partially chipped into by somebody else before, and its all we got. "

This is a very interesting video. Well done!

Caravaggio .. Velasquez, Vermeer, the guy that did the monsters in engravings .. these r my heroes

Michelangelo's David: before battle.
Bernini's David: during battle.
Donatello's David: after battle.

Thank you for these videos! This what the internet supposed to do safeguard this information for all of us

My last name is Bernino, this was made by my great great great great grandpapa

How did sculpture survive in ww 1 and 2?

🕯️🥰🕎☝️🇮🇱🥰🕯️

Amazing! The best sculptor ever!

Amazing

Representa el hombre como es arrogante , bien parecido apuesto

And that's why Michelangelo impresses more! He is not capturing a moment like a photographer, rather time stands still for his David.
Also Michelangelo's David has an oversized head, so that people looking up at him from down below don't find his body bigger than his head due to perspective! And, that is part of the drama!!

La vera bellezza, insuperabile.

This was an absolute treat - arguably one of my all-time favorite Smarthistory videos.
Caravaggio is everything, but Bernini's David was one of the first major impressions I had as a new viewer here and it still gets me every time... That said, I didn't know Caravaggio did a David painting and can't wait to hear about that too, lol.
"He's got God behind him, but he's still using all his strength..." Love that. As it ought to be. ❤🔥

In real life almost nobody can get a body like these David’s

This sculpture looks like Tom Holland

Thank you. In terms of "naturalism", Michelangelo's Pieta is hard to beat, yet that was from the High Renaissance. Hellenistic art over a millennium earlier also had this dynamic naturalism. These examples highlight the complexity and evolution of artistic styles over time wherein one should guard against too dogmatic an interpretation of artistic periods.

Thank you for this.

I prefer Bernini’s statues over Michelangelo’s❤

The Bernini in Rome right by (behind, the the side of) the Pantheon, still there?

Zeer interessant, dank u!

David is a model in humanity.

Yeah, Michelangelo gets all the glory- but Bernini is every bit as talented if not, in my opinion, more so. The times were different when both lived and it shows in their work. The sad thing is though a lot of laymen who will for sure know michelangelo= will have never heard of Bernini. Sculpture is a really amazing art form I plan on studying once I'm done with Painting/art history. Cupid resuscitating Psyche (sic- which it SHOULD be called, as it's cooler) is probably my favorite, yet no one will know who Canova is either. Anywho, great video and thanks.

❤

Fascinating
