Amazing to be at the National Portrait Gallery tonight to toast the knowledge-sharing & conservation efforts that have led to the public display of this mysterious #earlymodern portrait from 1626 (the artist and two boys are as yet unidentified). It will be on show in London until March 2028.

Immerhin thematisiert der Autor das ja mehrfach: "Im vergangenen Jahr stellte Peichl in einer Studie fest, dass die Aufstiegschancen in Deutschland nicht nur schlecht sind, sondern sich sogar verschlechtert haben". Vielleicht ist die Überschrift clickbait für Sozialkritik durch die Hintertür?
