The Astrologer

Eseldorf was a paradise for us boys

Lightning blazed out flash upon flash and pierced the castle and set it on fire

Margret

The astrologer emptied the whole of the bowl into the bottle

Crowd came solemnly in, with heads uncovered, and laid the two drowned bodies on the bed

Life itself is only a vision, a dream

Maybe this painter worked principally like illustrator, but in my opinion, by his style, was very good also as expressive painter.
