This Da Vinci Painting Is Weirder Than It Seems. Here's Why.

To think she knew it was a daVinci painting and still had the audacity to PAINT OVER IT!!!!! (Just the background, I know but STILLLL)

Also I love these videos!!! So great to hear some of the stories behind these masterpieces, as well as tidbits about the artists lives!

Yes yes yes. The painting is famous. But the hands look ridiculous. Only partway through, but ….

I wondered what idiot would alter that painting. As far as the feet, I saw vid tjat said that they were supposed to look like lions paws 🐾

Cool

Did he use both of his hands? Is this some kind of experiment? Is part of this with his left hand and part of this with his right?

My God, your voice is so boring that i disassociated.

That painting reminds me of my daughter's pet ferret, "Frodo."

{Although he was not all-white.}

His name was Leonardo.

da Vinci was not his surname as being illegitimate he did not have one, at least in the customs of his people at that time

Vinci was the town he was from and da means "from"

Leonardo from [or of] Vinci

Is the narration AI? Because the cadence is so off and tone so wooden.

Seeing this after only knowing this painting from Animal Crossing is funny to me.
In the game,you can get a fake version which is the exact same image, but the ferret is a different color.

For the future, ermine is pronounced er-men, not er-mine.

Again fascinating to hear all the history and explanations behind this painting. Definitely alters the way I view the painting now.
Inspires me to know more .
Thank you for another brilliant film. Bless you

One of the most stunning portraits ever done…so superior to the simpering Mona Lisa.

Ermine is pronounced ehr muhn.

If you check out 5he portrait of Elizabeth with her ferret, this portrait is sooo much better?

The patron was nick named the" moor" for his heratige? And when he was defeated by the French, he was forcefully inducted into the ermine chivalrous order? Therefore he was forcibly made white?

The amount of symbolism in this is abosulty fantastic?

Is it just me, or do most famous paintings seem in desperate need of restoration? I feel like a lot of these paintings seem dull and even dirty. The varnish put on these old paintings wasn’t exactly the best, and would dull the entire painting over time. Or maybe the paint itself has faded over time. Either way, I feel like at least a good cleaning would make these paintings look more how the artists wanted us to see them.

She's sounds like an interesting woman, but my silly brain just goes. Her parents sent her to a convent. I doubt that is what they wanted to happen. Finding a Duke is like the opposite of convents

"She was extremely inteligent, and she spoked fluent latin....". What do you think they spoke in 1500 at Firenze? Albanian? 😂

Your comment is typical for the American/English mentality having no cultural background and any understanding of painting and European culture in Italy. My daughter laughed and remarked that the English will never understand us. They are simply too arrogant having nothing of similar greatness in art or music. However these English people are good in creating damage in colonies especially in India and never uttered any regret.

Why do you use a phone?

his fursona

She's got them yaoi hands.

My new binge channel.

Because up to his death Leonardo da Vinci was neither married nor had he children. It seems that he had female portraits in his studio which he worked on for years but were not for sale.

If you have to explain why this painting is weird it means that it is not perceived as weird to the most of the people…

One thing I've learned from this series is that some artists of great renown were not immune from creating "memes" of their own, in the past, I think. It actually brings the art works to life, IMO.

The animal is a white ferret. Definitely not a ermine which is the winter color of a stoat . It's over twice too big to be a ermine/ stoat. . Incidentally stoats are way bigger than weasels

Thank you for your very interesting video on this painting and have a few comments on the “ermine” depicted.
The comment about it being a “ugly dog” lead me to further closer inspection of the ‘ermine’ in the picture.
Size: it appears too large to be an ermine (stoat). It appears to be the larger member of the mustelid farmily, a ferret.
Ears: Weasels, ermine/stoat and ferret, have different shaped ears, being smooth rounded edge not with the slight kink.
Paws: weasels have five digits and claws (ten fingers and ten toes). There appears to be only four on each of the front paws like dogs.
Unusual differences for a scientifically accomplished artist to make.

I have had pet ferrets, and have one now so noticed the details, when claw clipping and inspecting ears, that I have given.

Lol, before anything Leo was a kiss ass🤣

The lady has big old hands!

Not only is that Ermine buff but it is HUGE! They are actually so tiny.

The coronation robes were always trimmed with spotted ermine fur but HM King Charles III used imitation fur for their robes so no animals were harm in the making of the coronation. 😊

I have a question. Has anyone seen this painting in a museum in Krakow? Do a lot of people see it?

"ERMINE" is pronounced with a SOFT "i".

May want to look at "History of Art". This chick copied your video word by word.

I only know about this painting because of Assassin’s Creed 😅

Actually there is another portrait of a woman.

Also an inspiration for Philip Pulman's 'His Dark materials' trilogy - Lyra and Daemon.

This is an album cover for Enigma. I love art deco.

It's not weird at all. Where does this nonsense come from?

She was in San Francisco in 2004 at the Palace of the Legion of Honor. Just her face was bannered throughout the city announcing her visit to the City By the Bay. Took my breath away. Seeing Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece in person still stands out in my mind as a magical moment. Love this painting. ❤She’s had quite a journey, even being stolen during WWII.

Art school is a scam

Mouths and hands are so difficult to depict well. DaVinci's diligent studies certainly made him inimitably skilled at these elements.

Nice Marmot

An ermine is a stoat in its winter fur, NOT a weasel - they are entirely different species though both mustelidae.
