[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9852663, member: 2844"]The text says that the original was painted by Götz von Berlichingen, who was a Pfalzgraf. A Pfalzgraf is a Palatine earl. This copy was painted in September 1928 by Karl Deichmann. Götz von Berlichingen is a famous German name btw, but that Götz von Berlichingen lived ca 200 yrs later and he was a famous knight. Goethe, one of Germany's most important writers, wrote a play about that Götz von Berlichingen. I have to go now, but if someone hasn't translated the rest of the text for you when I'm back tomorrow, I will do it.[/QUOTE]
