This painting has a harsh realism to it – which I find rather intriguing. Many romantic painter can really turn the most dreadful moments into cheesy art, but Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret keep it simple and honest. Character traits not many painters posses, most of them love drama and spilling it all over their canvases …

To it is still a mystery why the sculpting has lost the top spot to painting. Until the early Middle Age sculpting reigned supreme in the visual arts, but then it slowly lost to paintings.

Sure you can show much bigger and fantastic scenes on canvas than you can show in stone, but sculptures are real and have a life-like power to them images simply lack.

PS: Does anyone know the artist?

Since it’s a stormy today – I have to post this fitting image.
