Herman Kruyder (1881-1935, Lage Vuursche) rekenen we tot de expressionisten. Zijn werk zet de toeschouwer vaak op het verkeerde been. Bij nadere beschouwing vinden we wreedheden en wanklanken, die met kinderlijke verwondering zijn neergezet. Kruyder worstelde met zichzelf en zijn omgeving. In zijn schilderijen komt de dreiging vaak van buitenaf en is er verwarring over het paradijs dat verloren…

The Master of the Mage's Tower always passes by to pay Her Grace a visit.

"Mother hates the colour red,

... so why...?"

The Archmage of the Empire and the Master of the Mage's Tower: Isfrid Skirmen van der Toorn.

(YES, Lady Isfrid has a thing for Her Grace.)

(NO, Her Grace isn't aware of this...)

Chest window on full display yet the Grand Duchess only ever privately wonders if the Tower's Archmage can feel the cold (they're up north 😭...)

Additional trivia if you haven't been following my IG Stories! :

Upon joining the Mage's Tower, mages renounce their familial ties (and even nationalities) in order to declare themselves as neutral in the Empire's political sphere, therefore announcing themselves as fully dedicated to the Tower and their duties. There is some leeway, however, as magically-supported businesses/public conveniences requiring the use of magical artifacts /do/ require the help of mages (money has to be made to earn livings, after all).

The mages who join thus discard their original surnames and oftentimes as a result either: 1.) pick a new one to symbolize new beginnings and ambitions, or 2.) use the Tower's epithet as a stand-in ("Van der Toorn" can be considered just as prestigious and honourable as a Duke's surname, after all, so there's no true loss in the end! Becoming part of the Tower means you are one of the elite and highest-grade mages—former nobles and commoners alike are on equal grounds, in an atmosphere of collaborative learning and (generally friendly) competitive magical academia, with many helpful and support resources provided for them.)

Essentially they're magical researchers and/or.... public servant hermits......... Though they do assist the Crown, the Head of the Tower is the one everyone truly answers to. If Lady Skirmen disapproves of an Imperial Decree, who is the Crown to rebuke her? What are they going to do? What CAN they do? This is why political neutrality is important for such powerful beings.... Thankfully, Isfrid isn't interested in world continental domination haha (her interests lay solely elsewhere... 👀)

This is an alternate melody for the classic Morris Rosenfeld lyric “O ir kleyne likhtelekh,” (Oh, you little lights) in which the poet looks at the lights of the Chanukah menorah and meditates on all of the tales of blood and miracle that these candles represent.  If you know this song at all, you’ve probably heard Sholom Secunda’ setting.  But this one, more operatic and more classical in style, is by Henry Lefkowitz.  It does make a nice change from the Secunda melody.

(To Kleyn, Mother had always been a dark and looming shadow: cold, fearsome, and hardened from countless battles and duties.

But in reality, outside of her armour and aside from her magical prowess, the Grand Duchess is otherwise rather unremarkable and— young.)
