Justin Kase Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I was just listening to the Audio Book again, and was at the part when Dorn is in Malacor's private quarters and there are 3 paintings hanging on the wall. I figure the first is the Mona Lisa The second sounds like Van Gough's Sunflowers Maybe this one - though there are a good number to choose from I am at a loss for the third one - my best guess is the Rembrandt self portrait as seen here Opinions? Or any better guess as to that last one? Sorry, I know it is a bit silly, but it is one of those things that's going to bug me :D I tried using searchy in this forum and googled discussions on the book - but there are so many other interesting things in the audio novel, that this never seems to come up. Or, maybe it is just obvious to everyone else ;) Thanks for any guesses ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Fellblade Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I have to admit I agree with the first two paintings, not a clue on the third again myself. Although to include paintings just from our time when there's 28 thousand other milleniums to choose from would be a bit obvious, so maybe it isn't anything we would know.

Dyp100 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well, he probably get them from the Emperor, and that might have been the Emperor favourite art era. xD Sounds cool, would be awesome, need to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Kase Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well, they also talk about how the Emperor would take the guise of advisor, leader, great inventor, etc., through the ages, to help guide humanity along. When I had read that (I don't recall where it was, maybe in Rogue Trader days), I had always pictured the Emperor as Davinci :) So, the secret that the Mona Lisa knows, well, she knows who the Emperor is :P I would also agree that with all of history to choose from, it is a bit odd to think 3 paintings would all be from such a relatively short span of time. But, the way they describe them, it seems like we are expected to recognize them. Here are the actual lines (hoping this doesn't violate any rules): The smoke pale portrait of woman with the most curious smile, garish yellow flowers rendered in thick paint, and the unflinching rheumy gaze of an old fleshy man cast in shadow, tobacco brown. At least he didn't have a Velvet Elvis hanging in a stasis field. ..along with a painting of an obviously royal persona with a pompadour coiffure painted upon blackened soft pile fabric. as seen here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakiwis Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 We can never know, the Emperor might have taken the giuse of Entertainer/Stage Karate artist for a time. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyp100 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I think...You just broke 40k. SOOOO, we ACTAULLY figured out the Emperor was one of the best artist of there time, and LIKED the music of Elvis...THAT IS WIN. I'd love to image the Emperor singing in his hair brush with his iPod on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
