"Bildnis eines rotbärtigen Mannes" = "Portrait of a Red-Bearded Man"

Imaginative

Only if we can turn up with Craster in a sack, dump him on the floor by the painting, compare the two together, and act like we're a cult or something and rejoice.

Or, pull down Crasters trousers to see if the birthmark on his arse matches the artists signature.

I've been to Vienna - it was a work conference thing so I didn't get to see much of it, but the bits I did see were excellent. They had a market in the gardens of the old palace and I had an awesome dumpling thing and some beer. Sadly, I didn't get to see any of the art galleries.

I was there once. Man, Franz-Joesph knew how to live.
I remember sitting on a chair outside the Opera House, mildy drunk, watching an opera be projected onto a big screen.

I now have an urge to watch 'The Third Man' again. I never knew the old Vienna...

It means nothing to me.

Hmm, looks like your one is owned by a museum in St Petersberg.

I've found one of his portraits in London, but astonishingly it doesn't look like one of us:

Who remembers that "What celebrity do you look like?" sire we found? I wonder if we can re-jig something like to the see "Which Calcar portrait do you look like?"

In order to check, I did a search for Titler, as he may be one of them. Short story: No. Long story:

No wonder he had issues.

Absolutely brilliant!

I've been to Vienna before. It's freaking expensive.

@MrChris that last one's DavPaz.

I was thinking he was more of an Andy Bear without glasses.

didn't have much time there as well , since i was there just for a few hours, but my contact gave me great advice: take the ring tram, you see it all..

We're going to Vienna with the company I work alongside next year - hopefully fully paid for too!
