You may have heard about him climbing up a Church steeple as a kid, but the Baron as we know him somehow wouldn't quit fit your description.Β
He was Rittmeister of one of the most elite and unusually colorful squadrons in the skies, sending dozens of unfortunate adversaries to their demise for the Fatherland.
How can a man like that possibly be naughty? :/

Great picture, and great idea for a picture. So the Red Baron died at 26. Wow. That's some legacy for a 26-year-old.

Now this is what I call art. Beautiful technique, with very precise detail.
There aren't too many artists I've run into who are amazing with oil paint. You are one of the few who are.
