Life

Breymann's father was a pastor who, along with his fellow preachers, provided Adolf's earliest education.[1] When his father was transferred to Watzum (near Wolfenbüttel), he entered the Gymnasium, where his artistic inclinations first expressed themselves. His father still desired a practical career for him and wanted him to study architecture, but he had no talent for mathematics. Sculpture was their second choice, so he was apprenticed to Theodor Strümpell (1818-1890), the Royal Sculptor of Brunswick.[1] In 1859, he went to the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and continued his studies with Georg Ferdinand Howaldt. He entered the workshop of Johannes Schilling in 1861. After several years there, he was able to make a long-awaited study trip to Italy and remained for two years. In 1873, his statue of Henry the Lion was awarded a Silver Medal at the Universal Exposition in Vienna. He personally supervised the installation of two angels he had designed for Prince Albert's Mausoleum at Frogmore House. In 1878, he was stricken with an incurable stomach ailment and was taken to his family's home in Wolfenbüttel, where he died shortly thereafter.[1]

gollark: Meh, I turn that off anyway because it seems to be more "Microsoft-approved boot" than *secure* boot. Unless you bother to set your own keys, I guess.
gollark: No, I did, several times.> The data/body can be large, contain arbitrary bytes, and is actually meant to store large amounts of data.> - servers may allocate limited-sized buffers for incoming request headers so you can't put too much in them (this is somewhat problematic for cookies)> request bodies can probably be handled more performantly because of stuff like the length field on them> - request bodies are generated by forms and all sane clients so stuff is mostly designed to deal with those
gollark: I did say multiple times why that's not really a good idea.
gollark: You can put large amounts of data in the body. That's what it's for. File uploads and stuff go in it.
