Begun in early 2020 by art historian Hyejin Lee, the YouTube channel ArtStoryLab features short videos focused primarily on 18th-century European art. As of this writing, the channel includes 24 episodes on artworks, artists, museums, and more. For example, an 11-minute video from June 27, 2021, "[Peace of Art] How to Pay Attention Like Jean-Simeon Chardin," discusses the artist and includes an index to the works of art discussed. In that video, viewers will be treated to works such as Chardin's Glass of Water and Coffeepot, ca. 1761, located at the Carnegie Museum of Art. Each video also offers suggestions for further reading, such as the book Chardin and Rembrandt, written by Marcel Proust and translated by Jennie Feldman.
