Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 40

[cahn]

I'm trying to use my other account at least occasionally so I posted about my Yuletide gifts there, including the salon-relevant 12k fic that features Fritz, Heinrich, Voltaire, Fredersdorf, Saint Germain, Caroline Daum (Fredersdorf's wife), and Groundhog Day tropes! (Don't need to know canon.)

I honestly have no idea which of my artworks was the last one I showed to you... Did you get the one with Fritz and Fredersdorf and the dog?

Everything we have from you should be under the fanart tag

It does include this, so unless you fancied it up since that sketch, yes, we got it!

WOW that Katte on a horse! *heart eyes*

The colors, Küstrin, the Oder! The flower crown, lol!

But OMG that teacher! I'm glad you got your money back.

Jeanne d'Arc??!! Eradicating the entire genre of historical scenes?

Rant away, I would have ranted at least as much! Somewhere in the comments to this post is a rant about an art history prof I had 20 years ago. I've gotten people here used to rants, is what I'm saying. :'D

Made them specifically so they could hang next to each other on my wall.

Aww, your place must be amazing. I recently got some Fritzian decorations for my place, but none of them did I create myself. You have such magical skills!

Oh, let me show you: Sanssouci poster, bag and pillows, and as a bonus, my recently acquired Jeanne d'Arc plaque. Look, she's wearing armor! They must be the same person!

(My art history teacher could not tell Diocletian and the Tetrarchs from the popes, even in a work of art that he had chosen to teach us about and test us on.)

Aww, the devotion picture gives me feels. My BOYS. <33 What statue is that?

Gorgeous work, as always, thanks for sharing!
