I spotted this very strange painting today,
It's quite horrible to look at, but actually drew me in.
It's a man on a horse, trying to keep a grip on a presumably dying girl, who is being dragged back by death.
Disurbingly, death is holding on to her determinedly with its teeth. It's holding on to the stump of a tree and had it's bony leg stretching across the painting to prop his foot on another stump for support.
Its looks like it's painted from memory and not from life, as the horse is really out of proportion.
I really don't like it, but it made me stop and look.
