Most popular eras for figure painters

[Paul Handley]

3c) Bonapartists prentending to be Royalists so they had a job after Waterloo.

I’d definitely vote for that. I don’t know why the Bourbon restoration isn’t more popular.

Nice

Doubtless the 4 first categories are my favourite ... although a good figure is allways a good Figure no mether the subject or century.
What Iike in the first categories is the "Liberty" of colors and also the fact that there is very thin line between mithology and Historical acuracy ...that (again) gives us Liberty to "play" a little with our Figures and make them more interresting .
Other wise , I believe that at this moment I´ve already paint all the subjects in that board

I wish I could select multiple...

But my vote has to go to Napoleonic... There is an air of romance in wearing the brightest and most dashing uniforms into battle.

if I have a second and third choice it would be Ancients (specifically Egypt upto Hellenization, Ancient Greece, Roman late Republic + early Empire) and Medievals (Byzantine, Sassanids, and 100 years war). Not very original, I know.

I also like to have more Chinese representation in this hobby given my heritage, but haven't found much in the way of good pieces other than a few busts. Anybody found any good pieces or brands with Chinese figures?

My vote is for ACW, just love the era and variation of uniforms.
