I have no clue how big this will show up... I don't think that i can post it bigger (help?), but you can check here.
In the upper part, the devastation caused by nature (fire); in the middle soldiers of the death killing people; in the lower part, the individualization of the different hierarchies of society made equal by the death.

That's an awesome painting, especially when viewed larger via the link. Was it stunning seeing it in person? I think your words that the hierachies are "made equal by death" is very fitting for the baseball game as well.

b, the painting is amazing. Not my words, though, the web page of the museum. I am obsessed with those weird sticks with kind of wheels on top, what are they for?
oh, wait, i found it... the spanish inquisition left the heretic up there after torturing them to be eaten by ravens and vultures. God, i am not very keen on tortures... am I learning Spanish history with uW?
Well, I still like the poles.
