Just watching a programme on BBC 4 at the moment, about the original Albrecht Durer… what a fascinating character he was! Good choice of user name, Sir…
Oh, it’s gone onto other German artists now.
i think i saw it some weeks ago.

Guten Tag.
Güten tag Herr Dürer.
Perhaps the Beeb will get around to doing Hieronymus Fracastorius, a contemporary.
Perhaps they will… it would appear that we’ve both been rumbled as to the inspiration for our user names! (I think I was in the final stages of my History degree when I joined up here…)
I’m fortunate to live in Vienna and the art museum have a number of Bosch’s works they are really
fascinating to see.
Some of his paintings look like what it feels like to have MS!
If you don’t know what I mean, look up The "Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch.
Blimey Mr D
