Re: think you'll like this
I've figured out what relevance The Marriage of Constantine and Fausta has in the 'sequence'--that tapestry portrays all the "closely related paradigm shifting architects" of the pagan to Christian inversion of the Roman Empire. Thus, with the theme of paradigm shifting architects, Franklin then indeed fits the niche, as does Duchamp. Oldenberg and Johns, like Carroll and Lauf, are among the very dedicated pawns of this master chess game.
ps
I did some double checking, and the Widener Collection has four Rembrandts, indeed the one Vermeer, and I forgot about the Raphael!--which was on a Christmas stamp not all that long ago. I feel I have to now somehow include Lynnewood Hall and its story into Playing The Pre-Shrine Curator.
