The Tragedy of General Benjamin Von Kelsheimer

This long forgotten painting of General Benjamin Von Kelsheimer was found in the basement of a art galley in DerNoodlesheim in the Black Forest of Bavaria. The tragic General was said to have had the military skills of Henry the Fowler, but suffered from an affliction that gave him a horrific sense of direction due to being dropped on his head too many times as a small child  He was best known for his brilliant campaign against the the peasants of Alsace Lorraine in France in 1789. The only problem, was that Bavaria was at war with Switzerland at the time. Von Kelsheimer was sentenced to a castle prison on the Rhine River where he was forced to repair coo coo clocks for the remainder of his life.
