“The same is true of live music. An album or video is simply no match for a live show.“
Studio and live are very different contexts. Each have very real characteristics that the other does not and cannot have. This is especially true with complex high production works.
It will be a fentanyl feast with many dead.
I’m honored, and humbled. Thank you.
Here is an entire post on Rest on the Flight into Egypt, 1879
Luc Olivier Merson (French, 1846–1920).

As I wrote down in the thread:
“I haven’t bought a reproduction, but after having seen the original, I am torn. I cannot express to you how moving the original was to me. Mrs. DoodleBob said I was (unintentionally) rude because I stood right in front of the painting and looked up real close, and blocked others’ view. Then seeing that Mercer’s St. Joseph was not sleeping made my heart leap with joy because it reinforced my own view, that St Joseph was not some silent old man but a bedrock of strength.
“If you get a chance to see the original, please do it. In fact seeing the original of anything is always a worthwhile quest. And as SunkenCiv noted, the MFA is a great museum.”
