My aim in setting up this blog is in exploring flats (zinnfiguren) as an art form. Once thought of as playthings, flats have evolved into very artistic pieces, created for and treasured by collectors. I prefer to explore flats in a contextual setting by putting them into shadow-box dioramas of artistic merit which can be reasonably contained within a manageable space. The chronology of this web blog will hopefully blaze a definite trail in this direction.

The Funeral of Gustavus Adolphus - Mohr
This is thought to be one of the most beautiful sets by Mohr. It overpowers with its presumably dark colours and sombre theme.
