Thanks for the Adolph Menzel lead. Hate to be a downer, but after an image search, I discovered there’s a whole slew of scumballs selling posters/canvas prints of his paintings in the $25-$100 range. I can imagine some "artistic" real estate agent scooping up one of the framed bargains to hang in a FOR SALE suburban McMansion. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m assuming the “wall art” sellers are paying no fees to the owner of the original painting.

Speaking of “self”, if you haven’t yet seen it, the 2002 British TV series The Century of Self is interesting.
