Good Morning Dan, and greetings to all.

Really love the way you used each part of the story, with artworks corresponding to each.

#23 Danhauser is quite stunning. Would love to hear some comments on this artist.

Thank You Dan!!

I liked #23, the Danhauser quite a bit as well! It's almost like a photograph, and as my tastes usually run to the more 'realistic' styles, it's beautiful to me.

I looked him up, and there seems to be a somewhat condescending article about the "Biedermeier" period on wkpd (at least it sounds condescending to my ear):

The Biedermeier period was an era in Central Europe between 1815 and 1848 during which the middle classes grew in number and the arts began to appeal to their sensibilities.
The period began with the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and ended with the onset of the Revolutions of 1848.

The term derives from the fictional mediocre poet Gottlieb Biedermaier [sic], who featured in the Munich magazine Fliegende Blätter (Flying Leaves).
[1] It is used mostly to denote the unchallenging artistic styles that
flourished in the fields of literature, music, the visual arts and interior design.

"Unchallenging"...that's something like peasants like you and me can appreciate, right? *stalks off in a huff*

*grins* that's also why I pinged our resident scholar to my comment *winks*
