Cool. I saw this one in real life. It was on tour and came from Europe to the Atlanta Museum of Art. Like all of the classics, it was much bigger than it appears in pictures.
I think we saw some of his other paintings in D.C. but I'm not sure because Josh told me they might be prints (he couldn't imagine a museum letting you get so close to an original) and since we had a small child with us (he belonged to some friends we were staying with) I didn't get a chance to get close and/or ask someone. I love his paintings though.
I'm glad it's real, now the excitement I got when I saw it can be valid. Thanks! I got scolded for leaning over to see the Constitution when we were there. That display is not helpful to short people.
