It is really interesting to see how being an artist was regarded in those times. It was. A proper trade. It leaves one to wonder if many artist today received such training and esteem for their trade might be more able to sustain a living in the trade.

You can't fake this level of craftsmanship. He must have been drawing and painting constantly. Thank you for posting this!

Following the narrative and appreciating the visuals at the same time causes a bit of confusion and difficulty. But the contents are informative. Thank you.
