"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Yeah, what's her problem?
YouTube art analyst "Art Deco" delves into the back story of another painting.
About two minutes in, as she was describing every detail of the painting, that I could clearly see myself, I realized this was a public service for art-loving blind people, and stopped watching. Well, that, and her voice was really getting on my nerves.
I'm not all that up on any art. Still, it's a pretty painting, for all that the bride-to-be looks annoyed. I suppose that paintings offered a medium for artists to post their social commentary, rather like today's social media ... ... only with more talent than banging on a keyboard.
But ... ... maybe the artist just liked to draw pretty women in plush surroundings, and was irked by Monet's style pushing him to one side? Hence the death glare?

Well, I got her point, but she could have covered the thesis in half the time.
