Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages

Latest Episodes:

Berthe Morisot | The Cradle Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

Berthe Morisot was among the most successful French Impressionist painters during her lifetime. Today she is less well known than her peers like Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, but in the 19th century, she was the more bankable artist. She was accepted in the Paris Salon, but ultimately she left the salon to participate in the first exhibition of the Impressionists. In this episode we discussed Morisot's painting The Cradle which depicts her sister Edma looking at her baby in a cradle. Both Berthe and Edma were tremendously talented painters who found success exhibiting their work. Edma got married and stopped painting to take on the traditional roles as a wife and mother while Berthe was the breadwinner in her family maintaining her career while her husband looked after their kid.

The Pyramids at Giza (encore) Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

The great pyramids constructed by ancient Egyptians at Giza are the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world still remaining. These massive stone monuments have left people awestruck for thousands of years. True to the distinction as wonders of the ancient world, people have wondered and speculated about how the great pyramids were constructed pretty much as long as they have been around. While some conspiracy theorists like to talk about aliens because they cannot conceive of a world in which ancient people could figure out how to build a pile, I’m going to go out on a limb and say the pyramids were built by people. Archaeologists have found evidence of encampments around the pyramids suggesting that there was a group of skilled craftsmen permanently stationed to work while crews of around 2000 workers would be brought in seasonally.

Stonehenge Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

Stonehenge has captured the imagination of people for centuries. It is hard to categorize the massive stone work. Is it a feat of engineering, sculpture, architecture? Is it a work of deep spiritual significance or an oversized and needlessly complicated calendar? Located in Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge is made up of standing stones arranged in a circular formation and is estimated to be over 4,500 years old. While its original purpose remains a mystery, there is no doubt that Stonehenge is a masterpiece of art and engineering that has stood the test of time.
