The painting "The Death Of Chatterton" by Henry Wallis has an interesting history. From Smarthistory https://youtu.be/HNoyVb1hr7g

Hmmm. Thank you for posting that.I’m not a huge fan of the painting itself but I do like to listen to others’ interpretations of art and especially enjoy it when they point out specific parts of a painting that maybe I wouldn’t notice and recognize symbolism in it. I am a fan of symbolism in art.
One thing I like about YouTube is there is so much about art to find! One can find almost anything about anything there. I like to brush up on my Italian since I really don’t have anyone with whom I can practice. Every once in awhile I will find narratives describing different sculptures that are in Italian and I will listen to them. I learn about the art and get to hear the language at the same time. It’s fun!
In fact, you gave me an idea, Brianna! You chose one painting to post the video, why don’t we have a thread or a folder where any of us can (if we so desire) post any kind of video or presentation that we find about an artist or an artwork to share with the group? Could be fun...
Any thoughts?

A video folder would be a great idea.
Done! It’s in the group now called “For Your Viewing Pleasure”. (Had to keep the title short). I posted an introduction but haven’t posted any videos yet. If you have more, take it away!
