And really, it's a set of eight

I refer, of course, to the total number of Merkel paintings this project will, best case scenario, yield.

One in US English
One in English English
One in Greek
One in Spanish
One in Italian

Then, once I'm home, I hire a Greek art student to stand in my studio and translate the Greek into English and transcribe the translated annotations onto a new canvas, retaining, as much as is possible, the same general location, typography, etc. of the original.

Repeat with a Spanish art student.

Repeat with an Italian art student.

So really, it's a set of eight.

Look how nice it looks in a frame ...
