So I'm working on a piece and the composition/perspective is giving me a hard time. And then I seen this painting by Mihaly Munkacsy and my head exploded.
Yeah. I don't know if a piece of art ever made me feel the way this one does. It's like the Avatar of paintings. It sucked me into the image. My head can't comprehend it's a flat image, it seems so 3d. The way space and depth are played with, I feel like the angels are going to land on my head. AND created 100 years ago. Geeeeez...

that's dazzling!
Makes me feel pretty insignificant. Both the point of view and the technical ability...
