Pedants








Left: Willem van de Velde Younger, Ships at a Stormy Sea, 1672.
Right:Turner, Dutch Boats in a Gale, 1801.  

There are two types of Pedants.
-A single artist would make two pictures at the same time to hang together as a suite. 
-A collector commissions an artist make a picture that would complement it's preexisting other.  
    To become a unity, where the sum is greater than it's parts.
