Yeah, how the louver works? Yeah, this 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: is already. Apologize in advance for the French pronunciations. I'm 8 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: gonna try in best. I am too, but it makes 9 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: you sound obnoxious for some reason. Not you, but no, 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 1: I know it's me. You know, if you really go, 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: you know, French with everything, it makes you sound like 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: a church. Lu Is it Lua? Or is it lou? Lou? 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: Is it lou? You'd say it like that. I'm gonna 14 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: try as well, but I mean it's yeah, it's we're 15 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: paying homage to the mother tongue. The museum. We're talking 16 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: about the seat of culture and art. Yeah, for centuries 17 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: now biggest busiest museum in the world. Yeah, and apparently 18 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: it's gotten much busier in the last couple of decades. Yeah. 19 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: I saw eight point eight million visitors a year at 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: this point, nine point eight and two thousand two thousand ten, 21 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: it was nine point eight that was the high mark. Uh, 22 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen it was nine point three million, Okay, 23 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: so it's the correct the nine Yeah, but back in 24 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: nine nine it was three million. So they're up like 25 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: almost seven million people a year. Yeah. And I've seen 26 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: seventy thousand works of art and thirty five thousand, so 27 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: I think they have thirty on display in seventy. They 28 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: got a whole other half that they just sit on 29 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: and swap out. They're whimsy exactly, They're French whimsy and uh, 30 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: the French whimsy. Uh, the French whim that directs that 31 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: now is a guy named Jean Luke Martinez, the French whim.

We should probably say what we're 50 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: talking about too, like the ten people out there who 51 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: don't know what the louvi is please. The louver Is 52 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: Um a world famous art museum situated in Paris, and 53 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: it's had a very long life. It was actually first 54 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: built in I believe eleven ninety the Compecian ruler of France, 55 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: Philippe august those Frenzy Uh. Philippe said, um, I was 56 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: on the edge of town at the time. Yeah, he said, 57 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: I need to protect my stuff, so I'm gonna build 58 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: a medieval fortress, and so I'm gonna build a museum. 59 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: These are the medieval times. I'll build a fortress and 60 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: later on people will call it a medieval fortress. That's right. 61 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: It was just your standard fortress, had a moat, had 62 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: to keep which will figure in later because they ended 63 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: up finding that junk, which is kind of neat. It's 64 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: very neat. I haven't seen it. I don't remember if 65 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: I saw her while writing this at this article, like, 66 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: I found pictures of it and came to think that 67 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: I thought I sadly went to the front door and 68 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: did not go inside. You didn't go in the louver. No, 69 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: pretty neat. I told you my whole backpacking trip. Like, 70 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: we literally couldn't afford We were eating like apples for lunch. Uh, 71 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: So we did not pay to go into almost anything. Right, Well, 72 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: you're blowing all your money on dinner, huh, pretty much 73 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: for lunch and sure for dinner. Yeah, Holland put a 74 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: dent in our finances. You didn't go in, but at 75 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: least you wanted to write I did, um. So, like 76 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: you said, it was a fortress for many years, and 77 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: about a hundred and fifty years later, it was not 78 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: on the edge of the city, which is not a 79 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: good place for fortress to be in the middle of 80 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: a city because Paris grew around it, and they said, 81 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: you can't really have a fortress in the middle of city. 82 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't do us much good. So let's build a 83 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: big wall around everything, around all of Paris. So now 84 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: the Louver was a wall within walls. It stopped kind 85 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: of serving its purpose. Like you said, I think it 86 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: served as like a prison for a while, that kind 87 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: of thing. But then it was ultimately abandoned for a 88 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 1: number of years. And then it happened a few times 89 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: throughout history. It's been loved and neglected like time and 90 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,119 Speaker 1: time again. Actually fell into pretty bad disrepair at one point, 91 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: Um the in the fourteenth century. I had it wrong 92 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: in the article, but I went in and corrected it. 93 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: In the fourteenth century, UM, after the Louvid just been 94 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: neglected for a while and unused, um the ruler Charles 95 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: the five said, hey, this would make a pretty good 96 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: palatial residence for me. So yeah, so I'm gonna take 97 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: this ancient medieval fortress and turn it into the royal residence. 98 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: And he did it. Charles the sixth did it, and 99 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: then it fell out of fashion for another hundred years. Yeah, 100 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: the loop just went back into a state of neglected. 101 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: But it had taken a first step toward becoming the 102 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: Louver Museum. Going from fortress to residents had to have 103 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: helped not just a residence, a residence for a king moderately. Yeah, yeah, they, 104 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: I mean they tricked it out right. Then, like you said, 105 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: it fell into disrepair and neglect for another century. Then 106 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: it became fashionable again. It's like people just kept forgetting 107 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: about the Louver, and then every couple of generations the 108 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: new king would be like, oh, the lou I guess 109 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: I'll move in there. Yeah, that's kind of how it happened. 110 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: Chase out the goats, bringing my tapestry. Uh. So after 111 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: that hundred years, Francois one fixes it up even more. 112 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: He brings in his decorator, and they got some architects 113 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: and said, let's expand it, actually make it bigger and 114 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: build new wings and remodel the old stuff. He flipped this, 115 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: uh fortress. What's the name of the show? Uh? And 116 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: he did a great job with that, and Louis the 117 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: thirteenth and fourteen said, this is fantastic. I think we're 118 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: gonna let's keep this up. Yeah, We're gonna kick it 119 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: up even higher. Um until oh, Versailles built, and that's 120 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: actually way more awesome. So we're gonna live there now. Yeah, 121 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: And wherever the king went, that's where all of them 122 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: aristocrats went as well, Like they hung out the court 123 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: hung out with the king, and so like if the 124 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: king was hanging out on Versailles, it was terribly unfashionable 125 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: to be sticking around Paris. Yeah, that's what happened to love. 126 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: It just fell out of fashion with the kings. Yeah, 127 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: and when they went to Versailles, it was unfinished and 128 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: they kind of left it that way, and then that 129 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: was when it got kind of beat up. I mean 130 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: they had it was basically abandoning a construction project in 131 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: the middle, so they didn't have roofs over some of 132 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: these rooms, but a lot of the louver had been 133 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: built out have been well appointed. And even though like 134 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: by the time Versailles was built, it was left again 135 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: in neglect the found nation for the building itself, the 136 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: house had been built. Yeah, you know, I wonder when 137 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: they're going to neglect it next. I don't know if 138 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen again. It might take the collapse of 139 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: society for that to happen again. Yeah, Well maybe that'll happen. 140 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: Here's open. Oh yeah, you pulling for the collapse? Yeah, 141 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: why not? You're looking for a roadlike situation. Yeah, I'd 142 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: like to see how I do? How I fair? You 143 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: want to meet Robert Duvall is what it is? Yeah? 144 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: Pretty much? Is he did? No, it's Dennis Hopper doing 145 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: just fine. Yeah. Man, he's married to a young lady 146 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: dancing the salsa. He saws us. Yeah, he made a 147 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: movie or tango. I think he made a movie about it. Ethan, 148 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: that's Antonio benderis thinking he made a movie called Assassination Tango, 149 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: which I have where he was like, I think he 150 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: was a hired killer who don't say it? Yeah no, 151 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: uh huh man because of his love with the dango, 152 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, and called that a passion project. Get 153 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: slash box off his poison. Well, man alive. I'm gonna 154 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: delete that from my memory bank. I wonder if he 155 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: was like, you know, what hasn't been done yet? And 156 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: no one around him said, and it hadn't been numb 157 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: for a right, God bless him. Um. All right, so 158 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: let's flash forward a little bit to the midst seventeenth century. 159 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: Did you get that date? Right? I did. It was 160 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: just cyn uh. And this is when things kind of 161 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: this is when the lou really started, made the initial 162 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: transition towards the seat of culture in Paris, because they 163 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: housed the three academies there that were form the academy. 164 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: You take it, since you're all okay, um, there is 165 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: the Academy de Scripture. Okay, so the Academy of Painting 166 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: and Sculpture, Visual Arts. Yeah. Uh, the Academy Frances. That's 167 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: pretty easy. That's the official body of the French language. Yeah, 168 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: which kind of holds the French language hosta like, the 169 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: French language doesn't change unless this governing body says it does. Yeah, 170 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: it's all prescriptive ist. It's very prescriptive ist language, whereas 171 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: here in the States you can just make up a 172 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: word and put on the internet and if enough people use, 173 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: it's an urban dictionary and it's a thing, and they're 174 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: definitely prescription ists to like drive crazy, but t s. 175 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if they have a dictionary about that for 176 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: French slang. Maybe yeah, I'll bet, but I'll bet the 177 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: Academy Frances hates it. I'm sure you're ready for the 178 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: third one. I'm so ready This is the Academy days 179 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: in scription a Bell letter UH, and apparently that is 180 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: deals with humanities, history and philosophy. So they founded these 181 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: in the mid seventeenth century to basically make frances h 182 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: culturally significant and snooty as they could. Well they I mean, 183 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: they're trying to protect their culture, is what they were. 184 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: I mean, France had become very like this seed of 185 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: culture around Europe especially, but also around the world thanks 186 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: to the Age of Exploration, and they were like, let's 187 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: let's codify this's cement it and they did. But they 188 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: moved those three academies into the Louver, like no one's 189 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: over there. So almost awesome, right exactly, So almost as 190 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: literal as figurative language can get. They moved the seat 191 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: of world culture into the loop. So that, combined with 192 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: the fact that the Louver was pretty awesome and decked out, 193 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: really laid the groundwork for the modern period to come along. Yeah, 194 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: and I didn't realize this, but they once academies moved in, 195 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: they started what would end up being sort of like 196 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: an ex art exhibition with the UH. And they basically 197 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: would have an exhibition a salon, and they would trot 198 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: out these cultural artifacts and people would come see them 199 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: and I guess someone said, hey, this is kind of 200 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: like a museum, right, and they said that's a great 201 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: idea and it should be free. Yeah, And and these 202 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: were all really huge ideas. The fact, I mean these 203 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: were from the king's collection, and the reason that these 204 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: academies were able to get their hands on it and 205 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: put them on exhibit for the public for free was 206 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: because the monarchy was like, yeah, please don't depose me. 207 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: It's cool. It's cool word democracy now. But I'm just 208 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: here being rich. So everybody, whatever you want to do, 209 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: if you want to show people, that's cool. And that's 210 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: how the Louver as a museum was born, was from 211 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: this French revolution, coexisting with the monarchs art collection and 212 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: showing it to people for free. That's right. As Louis 213 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: twenty six bowl he said, he wanted to be a 214 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: place for gathering together all the monuments of the sciences 215 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: and arts. Just don't cut my head off, that's right. Um. 216 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: And so at that point it was like we said 217 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: it was free for all they wanted it to that 218 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: was the people to gather there. Yeah, and this is 219 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: what is when it was officially established as the French 220 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: National Museum, and they did cut Louis head off, so 221 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: it didn't work. No, it was had a couple of names. 222 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: It was the Music Francais at first in the Music 223 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: Central the Arts, and then the Music de Antichrist muse. Napoleon, Yeah, 224 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: he came along after the French Revolution deposed the monarchy 225 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: and said, let's try something different. How about I'll be 226 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: the emperor, that the king the emperor, and I'll try 227 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: to conquer as much of the world as I can. 228 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: And it was pretty successful at it. But being French 229 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: and coming from a France where the Louve existed already, 230 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: now that all these different academies and the idea of 231 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: France owning art. When he would go conquer the land, 232 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: and we're talking substantial lands here like Austria, Spain, uh, Italy, 233 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: I think Italy was where he got a lot of 234 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: the art. He would say, sign this treaty and buried 235 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: in the treaty was you we give France control of 236 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: all the art. And so Napoleon would go in and conquer. 237 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: And then the director of the Louver at the time, 238 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: a guy named um oh what was his last His 239 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: last name is Dinon um yeah, he was. He was 240 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: the curator basically that he would send around and he 241 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: would be like, I'd like this, and I'd like this. Yeah. 242 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: After Napoleon's armies conquered a place the treaty was signed, 243 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Dinon would go in and just grab stuff for the loof. 244 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: This would look great on that south wall, don't you think. 245 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: And Napoleon said the Mona Lisa would look great in 246 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: my bedroom, which is where you put it, didn't. Yeah. Yeah, 247 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: we'll get more into the Mona Lisa more later on 248 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: because it has a pretty interesting history. Well, before we 249 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: keep going on any of this, Chuck, I think we 250 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: should take a message break. I'm starting to steam up, alight, 251 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: it's so good, all right, steamy? Yeah, wipe off those glasses. 252 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: I'm not wearing glasses. Your contacts are fogging up. I've 253 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: never seen that happen. Um, So we're the modern history now, right, 254 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: I would guess. So we should say that Napoleon was 255 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: eventually exiled and he his museum music to Napoleon was 256 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: changed finally officially to the MUSICI de louve Um, which 257 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: it has has been since. And I think eighteen fifteen 258 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: is when that happened. Um, and then yeah, in in 259 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: modern times, we should say that Napoleon gives a good 260 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: example of one of the ways that the louver um 261 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: acquired a mass so many pieces in its collection. Punder 262 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: sure we talked about Egypt Egyptology, a lot, a lot 263 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: of that stuff ended up at the Louver until Egypt 264 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: said I'd like that back. Yeah, and even then the 265 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: lu said, well how about some of it? Um. And 266 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: remember the guy who the Frenchman who cracked them the 267 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: Rosetta Stone and we did the Rosetta Stone episode, Tom 268 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: Hanks Campion, Campion or Champion. Yeah. Uh, he was the 269 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: loose director of the egypt collection. Oh yeah, yeah, that 270 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, it really does, because I mean, very 271 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: few people knew more about it than that guy. Um. 272 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: So along the way in the nineteenth century, the Louver 273 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: was not just a museum, but it was also a 274 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: a kind of a working studio where people would artists 275 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: would great artists would go and study and practice and 276 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: paint and sculpt which is pretty neat um Impressionists especially 277 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: have still have a lot of work there and all 278 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: the old stuff is still there. And it wasn't until 279 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: when they said let's split this up because there's a 280 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: fancy new museum across the river, muse a day or say, 281 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: And they said, why don't we just do it chronologically 282 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: and said anything after you guys can have. I guess 283 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: that that's the modern collection UM, and anything else old 284 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna hang on too. And so the the Louve 285 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: kind of said, we're going to keep all the Hellenic 286 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: Roman um Renaissance. Renaissance is huge, all that stuff, and 287 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: and we should say, um, these collections that the Louve 288 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: got its hands on, UM, it wasn't just from plunder. 289 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: A lot of it was from the kings that had 290 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: amassed their royal collections that were basically taken from them 291 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: for the French people during the French Revolution UM, most 292 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: notably Francois the First, and he was the French king 293 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: during the height of the Renaissance, and he used to 294 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: accept donations to his collection from artists themselves. So like 295 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: the michael Angelo was the slave the sculpture michael Angelo 296 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: gave that to France Fis the First. So like a 297 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: lot of these pieces in the Lews collection like are 298 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: like they belong there. Some were plundered from Egypt, some 299 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: were plundered from during the Holocaust, and then some were 300 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: bought to like Napoleon bought a collection from the Italians 301 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: for like twelve million francs. Yeah, which is a lot 302 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: of dough. But um, that was the borgeous collection. Uh, 303 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: close to seven pieces from Greece and Rome. I guess 304 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: it was worth the money. That wasn't his money anyone, 305 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: he didn't care, right, Yeah, it's like I just stole 306 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: all this money. I don't not just give it to 307 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: you for that stuff from from Italy. Ironically enough, Uh, 308 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: World War two came along, which posted a real challenge 309 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: to art in general. Um, I haven't seen the monuments men. 310 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: Have you seen that? No, I haven't heard. It's not 311 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: very good, despite the fact that it should be. You know, 312 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: I've heard the same thing, like all these great people 313 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: are in it, and it's still not very good. But 314 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: it's supposedly. Um, the Rape of Europa, the documentary that 315 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: it's based on, is supposed to be very good. Unsurprisingly. Yeah, 316 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: that's usually the case, but not always. Ill and I 317 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: also have to say this has nothing to do with 318 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: the Louf. But have you seen The Art of the Steel? Yes? God, 319 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: is such a good documentary, super good about Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, Philadelphia. Yeah, 320 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: how the city like stole an art collection? Yeah, I 321 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: mean it's super interesting. It's just go see it. I 322 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: think it's on Netflix that I think you can get 323 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: it anywhere. It's just a really good documentary. Yeah, agreed. 324 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: Art documentaries, man, there's nothing scizzily or there's a lot 325 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: of good ones. Actually. And I'm not even like super 326 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: art guy. You know I'm not either. I'm just trying 327 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: to pronounce French here. Well I say I'm not super 328 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: art guy. I love museums and I just don't have 329 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: the schooling. You don't talk about it. I just know 330 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: what I like to look at, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, 331 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: you know who is good at that? If you don't 332 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: know what you're doing but you want to learn. There's 333 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: an old PBS series called Sister Wendy, and she was 334 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: this nun bride of Christ lifelong right, who was one 335 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: of the foremost experts in art criticism and understanding art 336 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: and was also exceptionally good at explaining it in lay terms. 337 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: And you just watch this lady's like shows and she's 338 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: pointing out stuff in paintings that you're like, I didn't 339 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: even realize that there was there visually, let alone what 340 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: it meant. And she's just so good at explaining. So 341 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: if you want to know more about art, especially classic art, um, 342 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: but don't know what you're doing, she's a great place 343 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: to start. And I guarantee it's all over the youtubes 344 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: and stuff for free, because I'm excited now, sister Wendy. 345 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: All right, you'll love her, sweet man. PBS. They just 346 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: get it right, don't they. Yes, they do, go um 347 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: All right, So where were we World War two? Nazis? Yeah, 348 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: the Nazis they invaded Paris, of course, and they emptied 349 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: up the Louver and I'm sorry. Before they invaded, the 350 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: French people said we need to get rid of this stuff, 351 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: so they gave it to a bunch of rich people 352 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: who hid them at their various vacation homes. And it 353 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: worked pretty well. They couldn't take everything, obviously that they 354 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: moved all the stuff out of the louver. The French did, 355 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: and then when the Nazis came and found an empty louve, 356 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: they said, well, we're plundering a lot of art around 357 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: the world, so let's just use the louve as our repository. Yeah, 358 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: and they literally like six massive rooms in the Louver 359 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: were like packing and shipping of art. It became a 360 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: warehouse essentially. Um and they called that the Louver sequestra 361 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: San Wait, that's just English sequestration and um, yeah, that's 362 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: that was a pretty dark time, I would say for 363 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: the Louver. It was. It was also a very shady 364 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: time too, because um, in the nineties, there was a 365 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: Puerto Rican journal list Um I don't remember his name, 366 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: but I read a good interview with him, it's in 367 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: the Lots More Information section of this article, who basically 368 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: started doing some sniffing around. So he heard at some 369 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: party that like of Nazi art that was looted had 370 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: never been returned, and he was like, what that's that's astounding. 371 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: It's a terrible number. Just sort of looking in and 372 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: more and more and more, and a lot of that 373 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: art that had been brought into the Louver by the 374 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: Nazis hadn't made its way back out after the Nazis 375 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: were defeated. Oops. So the Loops collection had a substantial 376 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: amount of Nazi looted art from you know, Jewish families 377 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: that have been killed in the Holocaust that might still 378 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: have some survivors and the museum. And it's not just 379 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: the Loop, but you know, it's a dark spot on 380 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: a lot of European museum's history that in the art 381 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: world in general, that a lot of art that was 382 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: stolen by the Nazis was nobody made any any attempts 383 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: to return it after the war. They just kind of 384 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: held onto it. That's despicable. Well, as journalists from Puerto 385 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: Rico got to the bottom of it, called the Loup 386 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: out and and the nineties, the Louver started being like, 387 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: oh crazy, yeah, we do have let's find the owners 388 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: the rightful air. So they started giving them back. But 389 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: there's still apparently plenty of of um pieces in the Louver, 390 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: among many other museums. Again, uh, the Holocaust start is 391 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: what they call it. Yeah, are alluded not to the art. Yeah, 392 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: that's weird that it took this guy from it took 393 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: Jimmy San Juan, beat reporter from Puerto Rico. Well, you know, 394 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: it seems like museums, what do we talk about recently 395 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: went museum, We talked about repatriation. It seems like museums 396 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: are rightfully taking a beating in popular opinion because from 397 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: from you know, the nineteenth to the twentieth century. In 398 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: the middle of the twenty century with Nazi looting. There 399 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: are a lot of shady things that museums did and 400 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: just no one talked about and they out away with it. 401 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: And I think taking them to task now and getting 402 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: things right is is a good thing. I think that 403 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: there's a right way to acquire artifacts and pieces of art, 404 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: and stealing them from war is not one of them. 405 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: No war plundering, that's not on your list, all right, 406 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: I agree? Uh yeah, Another dark part of the loose history. 407 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: In one the Paris Commune, there were a socialist group 408 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: and basically staged a revolt and did they burn down 409 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: part of the loop. They burned down the palace Detuler, 410 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: the Tuleries one of those two um and in it 411 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: was a lot of furniture, some art, and it was 412 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: part of the louver. But apparently it was just by 413 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: sheer miracle that the Loup itself didn't also burn to 414 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: the ground, and they rebuilt part of the Tuleries um. 415 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: But the it was apparently like more of an attack 416 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: on the vestiges of the monarchy, which was the Tillery's 417 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: palace still smacked of so they weren't necessarily trying to 418 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,719 Speaker 1: get at the art. No, not not as far as 419 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: I understand. But it was a big deal because the 420 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: Louver was very close by, and I think they did 421 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 1: lose a decent amount of art and stuff. All right. 422 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: The Mona Lisa has had a bit of a history. Um, 423 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: it wasn't always on display at the Louver. Um. One 424 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: time it was stolen. Well, he said it was in 425 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: Napoleon's room for a while. It was in his bedroom 426 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: for a little poster Jordan Dunking, that's right. Uh. And 427 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: then in nineteen eleven it was stolen. Um. Apparently the 428 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: the security at the Loop back then sucked. Yeah. Well 429 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: you were saying like it was almost like an art studio, uh, 430 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: some parts of it. Yeah, Yeah. I think that there's 431 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: a lot of access. Yeah, and there was a lot 432 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: of like a lack of Daisic latitude towards security. Yeah. 433 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 1: And so there was a big fat body security guard 434 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: named Maximilian Pepaldine. He left work, came back two days later, 435 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: because it was he left them that did before that 436 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: they closed. And he said when he came back there 437 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: were four iron hooks and rectangular shape, several shades deeper 438 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: than the surrounding area, and no Mona Lisa. No. For 439 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: a while they thought it was Picasso and Apolloniere, and 440 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: they had a group of like young artists who just 441 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: thumb their nose at things like the Louver. They were tough, 442 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: they were toughs, and they didn't like the establishment, the 443 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: art establishment, so they thought they might have actually stolen 444 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: the Mona Lisa as a like an act of protest. Right. 445 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: What's crazy is when they went to like search these 446 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: guys apartments, they found two stolen pieces from the Louver 447 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: Picassa's apartment, so they weren't too far off. But no 448 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: Mona Lisa wanted out to be an Italian estodian at 449 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: the place. Yeah, Vincenzo Perugia, and he was a repatriot's 450 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: trying to repatriated the old fashioned way pretty much. He's like, 451 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: this belongs in Italy and so I'm gonna steal it 452 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: and take it there. Uh. He got caught trying to 453 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: sell it in Florence. Um. But for a little while 454 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: after he was caught and before it went back to Italy, 455 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: they actually did display it at the Effusi Gallery in 456 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: Florence and took it on a little tour of Italy, 457 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: so a little victory lap. Yeah, exactly, So he was 458 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: fairly successful. Uh. And then he did get it displayed 459 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: in its home country. But supposedly they got the uh 460 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: Mona Lisa like directly from Da Vinci is what they said. 461 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. And it's not painted 462 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: on canvas, so you can't like roll it up and 463 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: stick it up your shirt sleeve. It's like painted on 464 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: him on a wood block birch. Yeah, I didn't realize that. 465 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: I haven't even seen it. It's really small white poplar. 466 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: Is that a birch? No, it's white poplar. I got 467 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: it right in the article wrong just now. So yeah, 468 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: it was a custodin. He stole it and tried to 469 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: sell it. That was where he aired, just trying to 470 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: get money for it. But the problem is is uh, well, 471 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: it's not a problem. It's just a weird thing. The 472 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: Mona Lisa has attracted all sorts of strange attention. UM. 473 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: As recently as I think two thousand nine or ten, 474 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: a Russian woman who was touring Paris bought a UM 475 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: coffee mug from the Louver gift shop and threw it 476 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: at the Mona Lisa where it shattered on the Yeah, 477 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: because it's behind class. Yeah, the Mona Lisa is behind 478 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: bulletproof class. So that mug wasn't gonna do anything. But 479 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: but it's like, even if you know that it's not 480 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,239 Speaker 1: going to do anything, that's a weird thing to do. 481 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: People have thrown acid at it. People have thrown red 482 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: paint at it. Stones don't get it um. One guy 483 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 1: shot himself in the head, committed suicide in front of it. 484 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: It's try to find more on that, but I couldn't. 485 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: It's a very it's a it's a weird thing. There's 486 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: this thing called Stendall syndrome. Did you see that. Stendall 487 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: syndrome is this idea where you are confronted with so 488 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: much great art, like supposedly, if you travel to Florence, 489 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: some people are so overwhelmed by the beauty of the 490 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: art surrounding them that they faint. Other people are so 491 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: overwhelmed that they act irrationally and want to destroy it 492 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: or something like that. Some people have been known to copulate, 493 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: uh when confronted with great art. And some of these cities, 494 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: like the Morning apparently, but there's this thing called Stendall syndrome. 495 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: I don't know the veracity of it, but it is 496 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: a thing. I wonder what that thing is. I just 497 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: got back from Max Funcan, which is there's a drive 498 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: up to go to Lake Arrowhead, which is where it 499 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: is where you drive up the side of a mountain 500 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: for like five thousand feet straight up windy roads, not 501 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: straight up. But I had that thing where like you're 502 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: driving and you're like, I could just drive right off 503 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: this thing, off this club. And I talked to a 504 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: bunch of people there, and a bunch of people said, yeah, 505 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: me too, like what is that? I I don't know. 506 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: Not everybody has it, though we talked a lot about it, 507 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: actually because a lot of people identified with it and 508 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: we were trying to figure it out as a group 509 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: what that is. And I don't know. I think I 510 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: ended up it. Uh maybe like a power thing, like 511 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: I know that I could do this. So you have 512 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: that urge because it's not suicidal, No, no, it's strictly 513 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: an urge and you are aware, like you know, maybe 514 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: I shouldn't drive you close to this because part of 515 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: me is saying like, well would happened? You know, it's 516 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: always has to deal with death though, because when I 517 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: see a cop with a gun always, I could grab 518 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: that thing right now. I could just grab it and 519 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: shoot something. That's how I feel about ice cream sandwiches. 520 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,239 Speaker 1: You can just grab it, need it, you know. It's 521 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's related to end I'll syndrome. 522 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: I think some people identify them and have some more 523 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: information though, But there are people out there serious. Remember Chris, 524 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: the programmer who used to work here. I asked him 525 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: the same thing, because you know, I used to smoke, 526 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, and smoke out on that deck and every 527 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,239 Speaker 1: once while just lean over the side. Yeah, and then 528 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: I have to like get back away from it, like whoa, 529 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: you know this is I don't want to just some 530 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: part of my brain to go and like throw me over. 531 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: That's the fear. It's like some part of your brains 532 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: is gonna take control. And maybe that's right. And I 533 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: mentioned it to him and he looked at me like 534 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: I was totally crazy. He's like, no, I've never felt 535 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: that way. I think that was in Louis H. Parker. 536 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: Posey talked about jumping off the building when he was 537 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: on a date with her and Louis. Yeah, uh yeah, 538 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: it's interesting, but that ties back into to bring it 539 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: full circle, when the Mona Lisa was stolen though, as 540 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: a professor at the Sore Bone that worried that it 541 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: was a sexual psychopath who would defile the Mona Lisa 542 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: and be areous ways sexually. Um so I guess that 543 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: ties back into the syndrome you were talking about stend All. Yes, 544 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: they thought he could take pleasure in mutilating, stabbing, or 545 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: defiling her and then return her when he was quote 546 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: through with her. That's disturbing on many levels. So the 547 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: Mona Lisa's pretty much inarguably the most um famous resident 548 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: of the Louver, but there's plenty of other ones too. 549 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: There's the Venus Demila, Yeah, she's not bad. The winged 550 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: victory of Samoth thrace Um quote of Hammurabi. Yeah, that's 551 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: about as historically significant as it gets. And there it is, 552 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: just sitting there in the Louver. Oh, we we didn't 553 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: really ever get around to it. Like the pyramid by 554 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: I am Pa when was that the eighties? Um at 555 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,719 Speaker 1: this this class pyramid that's basically like now the symbol 556 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: for the Louver. It's it's an entrance. Um, but it 557 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: goes all the way down to the foundation of the louver. 558 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: And when they were excavating for it, Um, they uncovered 559 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: the moat and the medieval keep from like twelve thirty 560 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: so cool, uh, and they preserved it. It's on display. 561 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: You can check it out. Really beautiful. I like it 562 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: when the building itself is a part of them, like 563 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: it is part of the art, like the Google him 564 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, same deal. Um. And then at the end 565 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: of this thing, I said, like you you have to 566 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: see the artwork and the louve yourself to really experience it. 567 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: And it comes off as kind of flip, I think, 568 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: but I really mean it. That is a as a 569 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: bucket list thing. I feel silly for going up to 570 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: the front door and leaving. You know, you can always 571 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: go back. How's a kid go back? I will, okay, 572 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: I will, all right, okay, alright, kid, you're ready, Yes, 573 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: you're done. I'm done. Okay. Um, if you want to 574 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: learn more about the Louver, you can type that word 575 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: l O U v R E in the search part 576 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: house to works dot com and I said search bar, 577 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: which means chuck. Is time for Facebook questions. This is 578 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: when I have no good listener mail, and so I 579 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: got a Facebook burn on everybody sending an email recently, 580 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: and I tell folks to ask us questions and we 581 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: go through, and we're gonna do this for the next 582 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: couple of episodes and we'll just read as many as 583 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: we can get to have to buckle in. I'm gonna 584 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: go first here. Jonathan Harrop says, whatever happened to the 585 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 1: TV show? I enjoyed it? Is it a sore subject. 586 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: We had one season of a show and that was it, 587 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: but it was not renewed. But we hope to do 588 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: TV again one day and so wish us luck. And 589 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: it's not a source subject. It's a hilarious subject. It 590 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,919 Speaker 1: is pretty funny. I mean, have you seen how much 591 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: makeup I'm wearing in it? And it was just awesome. 592 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: But a bunch of people asked about the TV show 593 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: and we appreciate that we had fun make it. Yeah, 594 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: we still hear from people who are like, it's great. 595 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: I finally I bought one on itune bring it back. 596 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: We're like, we're totally powerless to bring it back. What's 597 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: act like? Yeah? Uh, here's one from Sarah Angelica Paiewanski. 598 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: The sounds made up chicken or beef pork. Oh, I 599 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: was gonna say both, but I say all three now, 600 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: all right, all three wrapped up in a some sort 601 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: of role. I love it. Patrick Scott says, what happened 602 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: to the message break music written by a listener? Patrick? 603 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: We we're just mixing things up. It might come back 604 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: again one day. It has come back. Remember, Oh is 605 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: it back now? Yeah? Here there Jerry's hitting it. Sometimes 606 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 1: it came back like a few episodes back. All right, 607 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: hit it, Jerry? Did we just play that? I think? So? 608 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 1: How do we pick the topics? Chuck? This from Dino 609 00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: is ill doogally? It's a sidically a sidically it's close 610 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: to that, but with eyes and case instead of the 611 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: normal Okay, go ahead take it. Oh well, there's uh 612 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: we always use almost always every once in a while, 613 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: if we have the time, UH, we might tackle the 614 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: subject that like is not on how stuff Works. But 615 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: for the most part, the best majority of the articles 616 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: that form the basis of the podcast episodes are from 617 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: how stuff Works. So will either somebody will right in 618 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: and say, why don't you guys do one on this? Ye? 619 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: Sometimes there's suggestions yeah, and then we'll do those more frequently. 620 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: There's this awesome little random article button that's your go to, 621 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, that's what I do. I'll just sit 622 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: there and click and click, and you know it's never 623 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: failed me yet. Yeah. I keep a running list basically, 624 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: anything that seems interesting that's not just like what we've 625 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: been doing. We try to mix it up. Yeah, we 626 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: do try to mix it up, all right. This is 627 00:36:53,840 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: from Esther Alona. She wants to hear about childhood aspirations. Um. 628 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 1: I kind of always wanted to write me too, and 629 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: ended up doing that me too. Um, for while there, 630 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to teach. So for the follow up question, 631 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: what would you do if you weren't doing this? I 632 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,240 Speaker 1: could be a teacher. For me, it was always writing 633 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: ever since I was a little kid. As a matter 634 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: of fact, I don't feel like i'm writing enough. Yeah, 635 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,479 Speaker 1: but we are both professional writers, right, which is pretty cool? 636 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: Prose baby, Um, let's see, do you hear someone from 637 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: Stephen Gardner Jr. Haven't heard this one before, Chuck. Do 638 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: we like each other off of the air? Yes, of 639 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: course we do. Of course we do, which I can't 640 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: clearly if you've seen our TV show. You know, we're 641 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: not actors. He says that the MythBusters don't. Apparently we've 642 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: heard that before too. I've never I don't know if 643 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 1: that's true. I don't think that's necessarily true either. I 644 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 1: think that um to work that closely with somebody, or 645 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: this closely with somebody, just many years to plot and 646 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 1: plan and contrive. It's not like we just come into 647 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: work and they're like, you know, what do we have 648 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: to do today? Somebody hands us like the syllabus, and 649 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: then we do it and leave like like we managed this, Brandy, 650 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: and we do it together. It's right. So we have 651 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: to like each other, respect, mutual respect, I think to 652 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: respect respect, Ryan Mitchell, are there any podcasts one of 653 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,919 Speaker 1: you wants to do the other refuses?
