The original 15 paintings of Goldschmidt's MiscellanyThe Goldschmidt project has developed from an original exhibit in Christ Church Picture Gallery in 1997 (pictured left), which was of a 6 foot by 4 foot series of 14 acrylic paintings. Each painting was named after one of the asteroid discoveries of Goldschmidt in the period 1852 to 1861. In the section "Rocks", brief information about each asteroid is given. In the section "Dates" a timeline of Goldschmidt's life is being developed.
