And what painter’s tricks did he use in doing so? It is worthwhile examining the picture in detail to unravel the message of this work, after all, the painter invested a lot of time and effort in it. Those who occupy themselves intensively with a work of art do not only learn more about the artists’ technical subtleties. In the process, they also go on a journey back through time, to forgotten customs and habits. It is a dive into the everyday lives of our forebears, their wishes and dreams.

Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
