Soldiers of Neukirch Uniform Plate, 2010, Acrylic on MDF, 32x40cm
(hmmmm... the colour seems a bit off.. and faded...? I need to figure out how to take better pictures of paintings...)
This is a housewarming present for my friend, John, who has just finished building himself a new house – complete with new, spacious game room! Long time followers might remember John as the guy who’s run some fun 18th century games set in “Luteland” and “Neukirch” – what I have created here for him is a uniform plate for some of the Regiments of Neukirch that participated in the Battle of Gassen au Damlau.
Musketeer Livgarde til fot?
ReplyDeleteSome kind of Danish/Norwegian I gues?
Nice painting by the way - a cool and personalized present.
Yes! "Luteland" and "Neukirch" are nominally Scandinavian (or Scandahoovian, as John sometimes calls them). I think more than a few of John’s Regiments are modeled after Danes.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent painting and gift! I think the colors look ine (but I know they might look different here than they do in poerson).
