This is not too bad - but you still can't see Frenz's signature in the plate at the bottom left, which is there to the naked eye (not that my eye is ever naked nowadays).Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020242863144175965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-79064715129017330182012-02-23T22:31:07.678+00:002012-02-23T22:31:07.678+00:00Jane - I think you're right that she is being ...Jane - I think you're right that she is being dreamed into being, or at least is existing in a parallel or overlapping dimension. I think it's rather subtly done.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020242863144175965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-90829367812152364532012-02-23T21:48:03.632+00:002012-02-23T21:48:03.632+00:00A lovely print, with lots of interesting detail in...A lovely print, with lots of interesting detail in it, visible when you view it at a larger size. And his face, and the way she is looking down at him, are beautifully done.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-19537385149594686482012-02-23T18:40:22.569+00:002012-02-23T18:40:22.569+00:00For those of us who hadn't heard of Alexander ...For those of us who hadn't heard of Alexander Frenz, I guess he's not forgotten, I'm embarrassed to say. The man playing the violin is very finely done but I have my doubts about the nymph. Is the implication of the image that he is dreaming her?Jane Librizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943563452168571716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-34790406967468022922012-02-23T09:01:22.392+00:002012-02-23T09:01:22.392+00:00Nancy - I think the question is, when does passion...Nancy - I think the question is, when does passionate interest tip over into dangerous obsession?Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020242863144175965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-7374943469686984452012-02-23T08:42:45.738+00:002012-02-23T08:42:45.738+00:00So beautiful Neil!
