Life

The daughter of German architect and local superintendent of construction Josef Esch (1784–1854),[2] Esch grew up in Brno, at the time part of Austria-Hungary. She became a student of several recognized painters of the era, such as Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller and Joseph von Führich, and spent time in cities like Paris, Munich and Düsseldorf.[2][3]

Following the death of her father in 1854, she permanently moved to Vienna,[4] where she built upon her already existing reputation as a skilled landscape and genre painter by carrying out her profession, with most of her works going into private ownership. She focused primarily on scenes of the German and Hungarian popular culture, but also produced some still lifes.[3] Her paintings were exhibited in Vienna, Munich, Dresden, Prague and Brno.[5]

gollark: I'm not sure about that one.
gollark: Fair, you could probably write something eldritch out with `JOIN`s, but my question was whether revisions should have UUIDs or just be identified only by a combination of timestamp and page.
gollark: Well, yes, it's retrievable, but that would be slower thus apiobad.
gollark: For a hypothetical "index" which "lists" all "pages".
gollark: ```sqlCREATE TABLE pages ( title TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, updated INTEGER NOT NULL, created INTEGER NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE revisions ( page TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES pages(title), timestamp INTEGER NOT NULL, rev_type INTEGER NOT NULL, meta BLOB NOT NULL, full_data BLOB);```I am rethingying minoteaur's schema to look like this maybe. Should revisions have UUIDs too?
