Sorry, Steve, but so far I could as well ask "who painted this picture?"

I would go for a French Renaissance painter. The use of blue is exquisite :-)

[stekemest]

No, that's Rococo. Can't say which painter though.

More like a needle in a haystack in Montana. Even if he manages to get some decent photos, it doesn't mean it can be identified conclusively.
