Greatest Picture Ever
Oh sure, Leonardo painted some nice stuff, and that Michelangelo fellow as well I suppose.
But seriously, can they hold a candle to this?
Hanging near the top of a dark, stone staircase in Rosenborg Castle one sees this painting by an unknown artist.
It is pure magic.
It is pure joy.
It makes me laugh like a nut.

How did he manage to make the horse look annoyed?
Oh gosh, I don’t think the horse is annoyed; to me he is totally “Look at me Bitches I am Floating!”
That sideways look makes him look as though he’s bored with the whole thing.
I get more of a “you better not actually HIT me with the crop, or you are going to crash big time” from that look…
It is a delightful piece of art.
Love it! It sort of reminds me of a lot of early American “folk art” portraits (the flatness of the perspective) – but with a heaping dose of whimsey. Or maybe whiskey.
I’d ask why Willy Wonka was floating on a horse above a scale model of an old English manor… but if anyone would have a floating horse and a scale-model of an old English manor, it would be Willy Wonka.
@nightfly – LOL. That works. Maybe it was a prophetic painting…
I’m still trying to figure out how a two legged horse managed to jump that high, let alone how it’s going to stick the landing.
I’m not going to attempt interpretation of that painting, but I’d be willing to wager that the artist was from San Francisco.
