Me as I recall (no photo used in the creation of this painting).
I can feel the warmth of the baking stone as I imagine this bread being pulled out of the oven. I can smell the rich aroma of the bread as it cools filling the kitchen with its nearly edible scent. The baguette is “anytime” bread. Its crunch is wonderful, its flavor rich, and its satisfaction undeniable. Here is an article on the history of French bread: http://foreigndetours.com/baguette-and-french-bread/. Savourer!
Saw a photo of this lovely structure online and was inspired to paint/illustrate it. It was originally built in 1775 in honor of one of Austria’s emperors. Destroyed during the Second World War and rebuilt by 1947. It underwent additional renovations in 1995. It is such a beautiful structure. It is located in the garden on the grounds of this estate.
