Because the (((art community))) was pushing distorted impressionist nonsense in the late 19th century, and these kinds of paintings distracted from their evil goals.

What's wrong with impressionism? It's pretty damn aesthetic
How often did allied troops from different countries fight alongside in WW1 and 2? Did the language barriers cause problems?
i.e. Were Frenchmen and Englishmen in the same trench line, or Italians and Germans fighting right next to each other in France in 1940?

>WW1
It's wasn't uncommon to have Canadians, British and the French in the same trench. Once the U.S. joined the war it was extremely common to have all of the above plus Americans in the same trench. WWII it wasn't as common after Dunkirk, but still pretty regular on the Western Front. Market Garden saw British armor fighting alongside American paratroopers and Dutch resistance fighters for example. Italians and Germans fought together all the time in Italy and North Africa, Vichy French forces as well.

Until WW2, French was the international language, but only educated elites spoke it
Basically, it was used between foreigners who dont speak the same language like English now, but it was far less widespread than English is now
You'd probably have a few guys speaking it in a unit and they'd translate for the rest
>i.e. Were Frenchmen and Englishmen in the same trench line, or Italians and Germans fighting right next to each other in France in 1940?
Nope
Allied armies often shared the frontline but the the trenches

Billionaires generally don't have 100% of their assets as cash money of foreign countries. 99% of their assets are likely unmovable capital.

Every year, my family heads up to visit my Grandparents in Wisconsin and see the local Oktoberfest.
It's been going on for generations, and my Oma will regularly tell stories about when she visited as a little girl in the 1950s.
One time, she claims that she met a very old man who was selling paintings at the fair.
All she remembers is that his name was something like "Mr. Shickle" and he had very pretty eyes.
He must have been a famous artist, because all of the adults there treated him like a celebrity.
Despite this, she remembers that he seemed very sad, almost like he had lost something very dear to him.
He seemed to take a liking to my young Oma though (she was a cute girl, blonde hair and blue eyes), he gave her this special coin (pic related) and taught her a few words in Spanish.
Unfortunately, she never saw him again, and her memory isn't exactly trustworthy these days (she claims that he left in a "flying saucer" that evening, silly old bird)
Can somebody help me figure out more about this "Mr. Shickle" and the origin of this coin?
I would really appreciate it. Oma is turning 70 this year, and I'd like to get the coin framed, possibly along with one of the paintings.

Unique bait. Don't see any takers tho

Does she really say the part about the flying saucer? Why not post the paintings? That picture's stock quality makes this post seem fake.

Let's face it, without spooks, history would be a lot more boring
Pretty much every interesting historical figure was haunted by spooks one way or another

"Great" Men often reject the spooks of their contemporaries and pursue their own will. It is only in retrospect, when their actions inspire new spooks in other people, that we retroactively assume they must have been haunted by the spooks they created.

I just started Philip the Good and I'm worried about Vaughan's emphasis on state-building. Was state-building a thing in 14th century Europe?

Da vinci was a thinker and painter and came up with many interesting concepts though however had virtually no way of being feasible.
Einstein revolutionized Physics in many ways.
Einstein hands down.
