Question: When was the Dutch artist who created Metamorphosis II born?
Context: Elkan Bauer was an Austrian composer and friend and contemporary of Johann Strauss II born in Nikolsburg, on April 4, 1852. Nangklao (Thai: พระบาทสมเด็จพระนั่งเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว ) or Rama III (31 March 1788 – 2 April 1851) was the third monarch of Siam under the House of Chakri, ruling from 21 July 1824 to 2 April 1851.  He succeeded his father, Rama II, as the King of Siam.  His succession was unusual according to the traditions because Nangklao was a son of a concubine rather than a queen.  His accession was perceived by foreign observers as having usurped the prior claim of Prince Mongkut, who was a legitimate son of Rama II born to a queen, Srisuriyendra.  Under the old concept of Thai monarchy, however, a proper king must emulate Maha Sammata in that he must be "elected by the people."  Ironically, Prince Mongkut may have later contributed to this misconception, when he feared that his own accession might be perceived by foreign observers as a usurpation. Kurunta (Cuneiform: LAMMA ) was a Hittite king, a son of Muwatalli II born in the 13th century BC, and cousin of Tudhaliya IV.
