I wish that interesting talks like this would remember to begin with a presentation of at least one painting before beginning the narrative even if it is a very interesting story. The images are just so deeply touching - they are wonderfull to watch and they draw you in immediately in a way beyond story and words - and to watch an image while listening would be so attractive - and how interesting to watch the portraits both those in a large scale and those that he painted as miniature art - thank you very much for sharing.

Thank you for the advice to show images sooner. We'll keep that in mind.
