What a great site Lew. Thanks for sharing that.
You might also enjoy a look at Ludwig Deutsch's work on that site. He loved almost fantasy images of imposing, intimidating palace guards, and they are always loaded with weapons...overloaded even...but great pieces(weapons) and each piece is very recognizable as to what it is and its origin. |

Atjeh warrior, a well known picture.
Not as overloaded as the Deutsch paintings. But look at the size of the blunderbuss.
