Biography

Louis Steinheil studied with Henri Decaisne and painted in nearly every medium, but gave special attention to glass painting and church decoration. Among his works are Saint Philomela (1841); Mother (1847), Nantes Museum.[1] He and Alexandre-Dominique Denuelle were commissioned to paint the chapel of Our Lady of Guadeloupe, consecrated in September 1865, which was built for the Empress Eugénie beside her Villa Eugénie in Biarritz.[2] In 1876 he was commissioned to execute frescoes in the Strasbourg Cathedral.[1]

gollark: There is also the "secondary processor exemption" thing, which caused the Librem people to waste a lot of time on having a spare processor on their SoC load a blob into the SoC memory controller from some not-user-accessible flash rather than just using the main CPU cores. This does not improve security because you still have the blob running with, you know, full control of RAM, yet RYF certification requires solutions like this.
gollark: It would be freer™, in my opinion, to have all the firmware distributed sanely via a package manager, and for the firmware to be controllable by users, than to have it entirely hidden away.
