Use the free translation . Com website. I use it.
Glad you got a cool new piece of art to enjoy!

RMVancleav710 · October 14, 2016 3:48PM

I'm trying to do some Halloween themed nails... I have them black so far. Lol . I did really cute green n black Frankenstein and bride of Frankenstein on my left hand (I'm a righty) and then i tried to do it left handed and it was Glob-awful. So I had to redo...

wow!! how did you get that info? ive been using translators and everything else and trying to find the pic and everything else and coming up dry....

Taco_BeIIe · October 14, 2016 6:08PM

Google

Taco_BeIIe · October 14, 2016 6:09PM

That's about all I found so far though...

HappyGamer73 · October 14, 2016 6:15PM

From what I can see, he does some nice work. As @Taco_BeIIe said, his works have been sold at auction for anything from several hundred to several thousand dollars. If you got an original oil on canvas work, it's a very nice investment of $10!

RMVancleav710 · October 14, 2016 6:16PM

what did you put in your search terms?

HappyGamer73 · October 14, 2016 6:19PM

Walter Thamm (also add painting if you want). Quick glance at some of the auction houses will give you some prices. Couldn't find much of anything about the artist himself, though, other than birth, death and country. Seems his works were done around the time of the Great War and he died at the start of the Second World War, so that probably adds some historical perspective to it as well.

Taco_BeIIe · October 14, 2016 6:24PM

I used Walter Thamm artist, but I imagine the results are similar. Seems to be very fond of mountainous scenes. You can find lots of his works, but little about the artist himself.

RMVancleav710 · October 14, 2016 6:32PM

yah thats what i was mostly trying to find is info about him, and finding really nothing... and ive been trying to find the title of the picture....

so i bought a painting....
