I knew Ephesus was in Turkey, and was the only Epistle location that I knew for sure was in Turkey. I’ve been to Corinth and knew it was in Greece.

I’m puzzled that Wikipedia tells me that this painting is in Rome, and that it is an etching of it made by someone else in the Royal Academy in London.

Still, I guess the key was to recognize the name and connect it to the artist, which I couldn’t do.

I said Siena too.

I noticed Archduke Ferdinand was accepted again as an answer. I wonder if using any of his other middle names would have been acceptable, like Archduke Joseph Maria, or using just middle names for other famous people?

The FJ! clue had me fail with the same name Alex wrote. In my head I was thinking concede and not grasping how "officially" the wording meant. It was a very bad clue, you kind of had to read the minds of the writers to get this one. Colloquially most would consider delivering a concession...

I thought cough was too generic to be the answer, and went with whooping cough, which I guess is too specific.

I matched Michael with Abrams, but it didn't feel right. I feel like if Abrams had been a 19th century figure I would have known about him (turns out he was a general during the Vietnam era).
