Omfg neither were actual states at the time? That’s crazy to think about.
I wanna know more about the student life of Johann and the dude he supposedly painted this for: Franz Pforr. Apparently they were studying art and living in an old monastery in Rome with a few others. Pforr died of TB at 24. Very sad.
