"Caller Herrin" from the Hamm...Oh my God! "Caller Herrin" from the Hammer collection! I saw it in 1983 in Budapest. I just stood there, standing for at least half an hour. The reproduction of the catalog was completely color-correct. I also copied it in the same size, although I never finished it. It reminded me of a German girl who had for me a great love, when I was young. (She name had "Beate" :) ) This image played a big role in me becoming a painter myself (I also did art history at the university). Millais never painted a better picture, though Ruskin considered it a sketch. Ophelia is no better. He also recalls the best Van Dyck traditions in the colors of "Caller Herrin."<br />I am very sorry for the fate of Beatrice Buckstone. That's not what they deserved. It is a small satisfaction for Beatrice that a (Hungarian) Valter has remained a prisoner all his life. Maybe I can say that today when I was 56 years old. Thanks for the great investigation!

There are some tentative indications that it might be restored- as he was such a significant figure in 19 th century theatre history.http://www.foblc.org.uk/https://www.blogger.com/profile/06834850875109925043noreply@blogger.com
