A simply stunning piece of Medieval realism by a dude named Frans Snyder (1579-1657). Click on it for a bigger view, but keep in mind the actual painting is 11 feet wide. Then Google-Image "Frans Snyder Art" for a bunch more of his masterpieces.
Wikipedia has a posting for Frans Snyder, but only includes one of his paintings (English version). He is referenced in a book I'm reading - When You Are Engulfed In Flames, by David Sedaris - which is how I stumbled across him.
