Click-to-enlarge image available from here, provided by the painting’s current-location, which also houses this painting (also available from Wikipedia) and this painting (also available from Wikipedia) of civic guard banquets.Painting discussed here with its click-to-enlarge image, and a detail image discussion here, with the other two paintings by this artist, mentioned above, here and here. Perhaps artistic skill is a genetic trait. Tourist article about the painting and museum.The Wikipedia collection is spread over several pages. Mousing over the Wikipedia image of this painting identifies four of the participants, one of which is mentioned in the museum’s webpage for the painting (first here link above) — I have nothing else about them: why they’re identified, etc.So far, only work by this artist to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.
