Dear AG,
Thanks for looking for me. 😀 I haven't been very active on Hive lately. The article about Viennese Art Nouveau is still waiting to be continued and I'm waiting for inspiration. 😉 In the meantime, I've set up a cozy place for myself here. There is now a second account (@art.vieanna), reserved for short artist portraits, available also on Hive.

The series about museums brings back to mind all the highlights I have seen there in the last years. Amazing, what treasures have collected there over the years. I knew the picture of "Nipper" and the gramophone, but I only found out what it was about during my research about the Phonomuseum.

That's a good question, how the horses could carry the heavy load. The knight's armour weighed up to 20 kg, in some cases even more. In addition, there was the armament, the shield and the horse armour. A heavy load indeed.

I hope you are doing well in these challenging times. As for Corona, the masks (with a few exceptions) have fallen here with us and people are behaving as if nothing had ever happened. the future will show if this will work out. In one week summer holidays will begin. Finally then I'll see my family again after months!

All the best for you and your family. With great affection,
Anna
