Orchid with Peach Trees and Cypresses, Van Gogh

[April 1888, oil on canvas]

Dotting, using Georges Seurat’s fine-tuned technique, to orchestrate this scintillating composition. Diagonal strokes used in the Cypresses to create a contrast to the delicate dabs of pastel colour used on the Peach Trees.

Summary: A "Virtual Museum Tour" by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, focusing on the one of the tapestries in The Hunt of the Unicorn series, talking about the gallery where it's displayed, the Early 15th Century culture when it was made, the symbolism of the plants and animals depicted, the craft employed in making it, and a bit of evidence of who the master weaver was. Explained by a few of the curators at the museum, who are especially fond of this piece.

Premiered 1 August, 2020. Proper closed captions. Some eye contact (small part of the screen). ~30 minutes.

I don't usually post videos this long, but this is in my Top 5 favorite works of art, ever. And I had to share the squee.
