Louis Perseid and the Silverism Movement

A famous Estalian artist during the Reformation, Louis Perseid was a major influence within the "Silverism" movement.
Famous for painting dreary oil landscapes, Perseid's early work eminated a suffocating depression, depicting the current world as dark smudges. His first work which reached critical acclaim, titled "The City on the Shore", showed the city of Estalia as a beacon of silver light, cutting through this darkness. This representation continued throughout his later work, where Estalia was always a bright light in the distance. Louis Perseid was recorded famously claiming that "his work did not depict Estalia as we currently are, but Estalia as we should be."
Several artists, inspired by his works and words, started showing Estalia and other Estalian institutions as beacons of hope and order. This Silverism movement, as it was known to be called, appealed to the very patriotic members of Estalian society, such as The Silver Legion and the House of Order.
These works also contributed to a sense of regret and Revanchism, where the "Estalia that could have been" was taken from them because of The First Estalian-Disorganized War, and it continued to get further and further away because of the influence of neighbouring countries.
It is believed that this sentiment was a contributor to the start of The Second Estalian-Disorganized War.
