Adolph Menzel "Rear courtyard and house" 1844.
 
Ok review of Menzel's Realism: Art and Embodiment in Nineteenth-Century Berlin
" Fontane penned an affectionate poem on the occasion of the painter Adolph Menzel's seventieth birthday in 1885. In it he queried, 'Indeed, who is Menzel? Menzel is many things, if not everything; he is in any case a great Noah's ark, animal and human being.'" Discovering the huge & incredibly varied output of Menzel was one of the most interesting aspects of my long ago trip to Berlin.
