The live, interactive aspect of it is crazy. There's a "Bordone Room settee" in the novel so that takes care of the ranters.

I have no memory of this painting, but I also remember all of the galleries being open, so I must've seen it. There was nobody ranting as far as I could tell. Some of my favorite paintings are on tour right now, in the US. <br /><br />I have a couple of unread Bernhards on the shelf.
