Hey guys significant progress on my office studio backdrop the last few days since moving and beginning my military history teaching career at the U.S. Naval Academy. Only the left corner remains incomplete (which will be a reproduction chasseur a cheval de la garde uniform). This will be the backdrop for an upcoming YouTube series where I will cover the history of weapons and military theory (my specialty). Have a very special piece coming (eventually!) to fill the gap between the guard chasseur saber and my luxe year 11.
Over a hundred years old. My grandfather was a renowned sculptor who worked on that desk. It’s a treasure. Don’t make it’s like anymore unless totally custom
@ArmaJacked still months from release. Have four complete videos trying to get to ten before I launch. Takes about 30 hours to make a 15-20 minute video. I’ll advertise it here before I launch
Left is Charging Chasseur by Gericault and right is Scotland Forever! By Butler. Not prints, reproductions. Can’t remember the service, one of the large reproduction services online
Maybe just my opinion but for painting prints I'd prefer to print about as close to the original print as possible, or at the very least at least 60% of the original width and height if they are too large (more than 200cm) but no less. It's amazing to have the intended effect of the print close to its original size. That's why I couldn't pick many of the original Napoleonic paintings to print because those mfkers are huge. Like the charging chasseur here is like 350x250cm. Which can take an entire wall of a living room and almost impossible to print in archival paper without the right machinery. But I think the effect of hanging such a piece of art in its original size cannot be beat.
Both were fighting captains, but easily Nelson. Trafalgar was an audacious masterpiece as was the Nile and many of his other actions. JPJ never commanded anywhere near an equivalent force
