1869-1900 Paintings' Collection (pt. 1)

Hi everyone!

I got a bit tired and frustrated with difficult CAS stuff, so I decided to do something easy and unproblematic for once. It's a simple recolour of BG pictures; I kept the original frames and replaced the pictures with a selection of works by late XIX century Polish painters.

I went for Poland as I needed something my sims could potentially have access to, but they should be pretty international. I chose almost exclusively portraits & landscapes, no 'our glorious motherland kicking everyone's butts' type of paintings. No worries ;).

The main set is divided into 3 parts: 1869-1889, 1890-1894 and 1895-1900. Just in case you are - like me - hypercorrect and don't want to by any chance let your sims own a painting which shouldn't exist yet. There's also set no. 4, using a different, narrow frame - this one isn't divided into any groups, but I marked the time periods with swatches' colours.

The selection includes works of Olga Boznańska, Leon Wyczółkowski, Aleksander Gierymski, Józef Chełmoński, Władysław Czachórski, Teodor Axentowicz, Anna Bilińska-Bohdanowicz, Władysław Podkowiński, Józef Pankiewicz and Kazimierz Alchimowicz. I didn't know half of these people (and 3/4 of all those works) myself, so making this set was a fun little adventure. Almost all the paintings come from THIS site - check it out if you'd like to know exactly which painting is by whom (or if you just want to stare at some art :P).

Here comes a preview (some swatches might be missing, I added them at the very last moment):
