Many thanks - the idea of a B+W background is a good one.  I'll have a go and see what comes of it.
Best Wishes.

a diorama at Kulmbach in the museum.

It will be difficult to position all characters of the scene within this painting frame !! Do you also plan to bring a foreground of several spectators?     


In many dioramas, the colours of the background are absorbing the attention off the characters.  Why not using the painting but in black and white?   This would stimulate the characters themselves perhaps?

@redman,
again I have to ask for patience -
the closing of everything is prolongued,
my witness lives in an area with restrictions of mobility....

So - it will last further with the picture  :-[

Thanks

If this may be of interest......

an learned, that the whole Cortege took till summer 1634 (!)  to the final burial in the Stockholm Ríddarholms-Church

I would answer for myself in the same situation = best is to go and visit the Museum by yourself ...


But it is located at 650 km from Brussels, nearby Leipzig !!


So I took your picture on the net



and reworked it a little but (sorry no frame, but I can add one if wished).  Perhaps you can add a photograph to your frame.

I'm mounting my Wimor set of the "Funeral Cortege Gustav-Adolphus" and would like to add a photo of the original painting by Schmidt that today sits in the museum in the Geleitshaus in Weissenfels, Germany.   I've searched absolutely everywhere on-line for both the picture itself and the artist (Hans Schmidt 1859-1951) but while there are others of his paintings available there is no reference whatsoever to the Gustav-Adolphus one.
The Geleitshaus Museum has very little on line and the very best that I can come up with from newspaper articles is a 25Kb photo taken at an angle (which is not much use!)..........
Anyone been to the museum and taken a good quality / high resolution photo that they could share?  Or point me in the direction of another source?

Appreciated
