Here’s an fun take on one of my favorite paintings. I’d love to see the original painting in person. Everyone mentions it’s scale and well it’s controversial to boot! Someday I shall get to the Louvre.
An illustrative painting, it was based on real events, illustration as painting or vice-versa. Lots more information at the Paintings Wikipedia Article.
