Nothing is more engaging than an educated enthusiast! Bravo, Matthias Wivel! He is not only a very good speaker, but he gives what appears an extempore performance, that is in reality a finely balanced mix of fact, analysis, context and opinion, which I very much appreciated. And especially, his comments are accompanied by lots of good detailed images of the painting; other talks in this series suffer from a failure to actually show the painting in question in close up. Thank you!

What an absolutely marvelous lecture, and what a privilege to sit in on it through YouTube. Thank you, National Gallery, for sharing these endlessly fascinating lectures. Culture is more important today than ever, thank you for sharing it on such a wide platform š¤āØ Edit: thank you also to Matthias Wivel for sharing his profound knowledge as well as his brilliant interpretations :)

I value Matthias Wivel and his eloquent lectures. He is also one of the curatorial minds behind the current Raphael exhibition at the National Gallery. Be aware that this event may cause fainting or other physical symptoms due to the sheer wonder and genius that is Raphael.
