A somewhat enlarged image can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry (yesterday). Again, it is a cropped image. A full, click-to-enlarge image can be found here.The Turner Banquet (link shows a Google translated, I think pertinent, Wikipedia page) isn’t, as far as I can tell, currently shown online by its current-location.Again, this is from the artist’s early years (not much like his later paintings). His Wikipedia page (Google translated German Wikipedia page has more) and collection (many more under Subcategories at each level).Third, of the 3 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here (3 total).

1878. First meeting of the German Youth Group tasked with devising a new type of salute. It would take them 45 years.The new salute was ultimately rejected on a global scale. I put it down to poor marketing.
