Triumph Of The Will: The Challenge ~ James Tissot

[mythosidhe]

When I went hunting for a particular Tissot painting this morning, this was the last thing I ever expected to find! Since when did he paint mediaeval allegories!? Not that I'm complaining, this is fantastic, but I'm so used to his 18th & 19th century social scenes, my brain is completely turned upside down, in the best possible way. I want more...

Hope over to Art Renewal Center (where I found this) to see a larger version.
