  • its not gone, it is the foundation of the castle and walls. that is important. it is what the rest of life is built on.

  • My grief heavily impacted my art. Losing my husband was extremely hard and this brought some comfort to me. Nothing makes you contemplate your mortality than losing a piece of yourself. Memories of loved ones can be painful but also very illuminating.

    • Making works that are centered around sadness and grief has been my main topic in the recent months and it does give a sense of comfort and relief to make things with topics like these. There is just a whole new level of honesty and personal influence in art like that.

  • I want to stress at 6:00 that the corpses are painted in really warm colors, almost as if sitting around a campfire, telling happy stories, smiling. The sky, even there where it is light, it rather cold and far, far away. I feel like the dead in there would offer him a warm embrace, since he is done with crying and can now move on to live with the dead, not with grief.

    • I see! I also thought they resemble cave dweller people from the prehistoric age who are long gone and have an entirely new world built on top of them. It could also serve as a metaphor for the people who dies as revolutionaries for others to build castles on top of their bodies.

  • The title of the painting 'Nu skrider dagen under, og natten vælder ud' is the two first lines of #781 in the Danish Psalmbook. "... we see a smal town or property protected by massive walls..." It's a church. Danish medieval churches look like that.

  • Beautiful artist and beautiful video. My little brother had a cancer couple years ago and I realise at this moment that my life makes no sense without the people I love. Like the artist maybe I realised that my own death would be easier after. I would not commit a suicide off course but I accepted that life is not as beautiful as we are inclined to think. Life is so painful sometimes and death is not. Thanks to very skillful and nice doctors my brother finally survived, and I still remember this lesson. Thank you to make me discover that artist, you are amazing

  • Listening to the descriptions of those art pieces in such a beautiful and interesting way makes me want to start painting like my granpa did.. even if he did not become famous he depicted lots of scenarios and used lots of different styles (not in a sad way like the ones in the video). I am just fascinated in having an insight of the artist mind.

  • Beatiful video, I also think that Ring's aproach to death in that last painting is more of a reconciliation with the idea of mortality and those who have fallen due to it. Death now appears to come from the depths of the landscape itself withouth the need of destroying it or fly over it in a menacing way. It almost seems that Ring's persepctive is to acknowledge the presence of the realm of death and that the role it plays in our lives is just so certain as the night that follows a beatiful sunset. Great Work!

  • Fantastic review as always. I can't help but notice how striking the trees against the sky are in "After Sunset Now the Day is Ending and the Night is Pouring Out." Though this is likely not what he was going for (since I don't think science was developed enough at the time), I see the last few synapses of dying neurons against the sky, fading as the trees get more sparse in the distance.

Thank you Edit: now that I've given Rembrandt's anatomy painting a closer look, I'm really inspired by the nerves, tendons and bone. I'm going to try and enhance that image so the entire canvas' frame is only flesh and bone. Thanks for the suggestion Canvas

  • the way the light is shining on the dead people to me says that they are far from gone from his mind. the colors are warm, as if this is where his comfort is. and as you say if he is buried with them that is really curious, as I have not really seen that perspective a lot. (Hereditary scene where the body is lowered and the camera seems to go underground perhaps.) the sky seems like a sun rise hour and so it would suggest a rebirth also.
