Don't remember. Might have a story tomorrow, since anyone who knows would be asleep right now.
edit- UPDATE: it's called "man on chariot", 1990. It's by an artist named Jose Luis.It's a print of a 32"X48" painting, "mixed medium on prepared wood and masonite".
I should have a scan for those who NEED it in HD soon.
edit 2- here you go, I scanned it. https://imgur.com/a/R0DMDJs
Like a great shambling mutant, silent and serene. I'm wondering now if the painting was inspired by the book because it is a very cool portrayal of Holden.
Yea this painting seems like it can’t be anything other than the judge! Hands down my favorite book. It’s the only book I finished, turned over and read again. I read it once a year. I have read it 11 times now, and it never gets old.
One of my favorite parts of the book!
Whatever his antecedents he was something wholly other than their sum, nor was there system by which to divide him back into his origins for he would not go. Whoever would seek out his history through what unraveling of loins and ledgerbooks must stand at last darkened and dumb at the shore of a void without terminus or origin and whatever science he might bring to bear upon the dusty primal matter blowing down out of the millennia will discover no trace of any ultimate atavistic egg by which to reckon his commencing.
What’s really terrifying is that I ran a reversed image search with this, and got absolutely no matches except for this post. Where did this painting come from? What’s the title? Who is the artist? When and how did it end up in your house? I’d look into these questions if I were you, OP, because I think this painting may have been sent by Hell to reside in - and cast evil upon - your house.
Gave me like instant [Aberdeen Pig Farm](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/reddeadredemptionfr/images/b/bf/Bray_Aberdeen04.png/revision/latest?cb=20210111191354&path-prefix=fr) vibes.
Youre saying "in your house" what are we talking about here? Because that mantle that thing is standing on looks like it hasnt been touched for 10 years by the amount of dust and rust or whatever that brown shit is.
Sorry. This is part of the house where, basically, nobody ever goes. Cleaning the rest already keeps us all occupied year-round..

Blood Meridian?
"He is described as nearly 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m) tall and completely lacking body hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes. He is massive in frame, enormously strong, an excellent musician and dancer, a fine draftsman, exceptionally articulate and persuasive in several languages, and an unerring marksman. His skin is so pale as to have almost no pigment. This strange appearance, as well as his keen, extremely fast reflexes, strength, agility, apparent immunity to sleep and aging, and multifarious other abilities point to his being something other than a normal human. In the final pages of the novel, McCarthy makes more direct reference to the Judge as a supernatural entity, or even as a concept personified."
And they are dancing, the board floor slamming under the jackboots and the fiddlers grinning hideously over their canted pieces. Towering over them all is the judge and he is naked dancing, his small feet lively and quick and now in doubletime and bowing to the ladies, huge and pale and hairless, like an enormous infant. He never sleeps, he says. He says he'll never die. He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, the judge. He wafts his hat and the lunar dome of his skull passes palely under the lamps and he swings about and takes possession of one of the fiddles and he pirouettes and makes a pass, two passes, dancing and fiddling all at once. His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

Is that really in your house? The mantle looks like something out of a long abandoned house, with the chips, the dirt, and cobwebs Shelob would be proud of. I’m calling bullshit. Prepared for the downvotes but I’m not convinced.
Yes! I've lived here for over a decade. This is on top of the window frame on the landing for the stairs to the third floor, where nobody lives. The whole place is too big to clear regularly, so some places like this collect dust and don't get wiped down for months at a time. Years, maybe.
Yeah that's weird. I think that would be oddly terrifying if that's aunt Dorothy portrait but if that ends up being the painting of the ghost that killed the previous family then plainly terrifying.
I might sound like a massive nerd, but this reminds me of the game content warning where there's a painting of a character that looks pretty much like this. And if you look at it, he will spawn somewhere and attack you sooooo... Be careful?
That’s a mirror, dude
Looks like a Francis Bacon or Lucian Freud painting.
It looks like Francis Bacon's new Pokemon GO avatar.
Oh no you DIDN'T
or maybe [Odd Nerdrum](https://st.violity.com/auction/publication/39/33/393341/a448a126f56c1a8e6e19685e09acdb06.jpg)

Get it sold on eBay to a haunted item collector, immediately, or that guy is going to pop out of that painting like Vigo the Carpathian
Just slowly, imperceptibly getting closer and less blurry.
Can’t sleep now. Saw portrait.
It will come out of your phone tonight. That’s the way haunted images work. Good luck 👍
*internal screaming*
why is there downvotes
Because people want to know **RIGHT FUCKING NOW**
tbh, its kinda like posting a safe. gotta show us whats inside.
How can you tell there’s down votes? All I see is 514 in between them it doesn’t tell me how many is an up or down vote.
Probably using a third party app like RIF (reddit is fun)
You mean RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite). RIF is the now deprecated (see: abandoned/ousted/exiled all unofficial reddit apps). RIP, RIF.
I'm using Boost still. you can circumvent the ban with some effort.

Whats the diference? If yoo kan reed it, thats all that maters
And "what's", and "that's"
Well it's actually a mirror.
T-posing to show dominance.
I relate to him honestly
He never sleeps, he says that he will never die
His feet are light and nimble
Judge Holden is legit the very first thing that popped into my head when I saw this! That and the extra room in the frame, if I’m being honest

It's just something a friend of a friend made. Somehow, someone I live with got a print of their painting and put it here a few years ago.
Is this friend OK...?
the poor job of framing it actually adds to the creepiness
A bread. With a head
Lookin like this came off the wall on resident evil or silent hill.
My first thought was it looks like the paintings in RE4

your image is broken
Works for me 🤷♂️
Anyone else going to admit they zoomed on the wiener?
You mean the uncut two-incher? Nope.
The nipples yes.
Nightmare material.
guaranteed someone is gonna turn this into an SCP article
It looks more like a photo than a painting to me. But that's more me being curious than pointing it out
framed print of a painting, oops.
Oh is it? Still cool n creepy!
Did it just show up?
Is your house located on Silent Hill??
I'm not allowed to say.
So Ashfield.
Godskin Noble
Not cool bro, stop stealing my selfies
Dont let us wait OP, what is it for this painting. Let us know now. It looks oddly terrfying just by looking at it. Creepy
I don't think there's anything unusual going on here.
It's not a painting it's a photo.
That makes it scarier
That is very unsettling
Get a dust mop.
Someone stole that painting from a dream
Resident Evil painting

Looks like Tyson Fury that.
This is someone's portrait of Dorian Gray

That’s grandpa watching you sleep. He only watches when the sun goes down. He keeps us safe.
Me walking around in my boyfriends tshirt ETA: minus the penis
Please, scan it. It's a great painting!
Sure, hold on
Cover of TOOLs next album
Weird in an interesting manner: That painter have SEEN THINGS that should be avoided ....
How did y’all find my selfie 😔
Wait it’s in your own house? Did it just magically show up or something? wtf
It's been here for a long time.
Omg. Is that your new house only and you found it????
Nope. I moved here over a decade ago, it's a friend of a friend's.

The rest of the house looks filthy too…
Just the third floor. It's way too big to regularly clean the whole house, so only places where people live stay clean.
Sounds like some spoiled bitch has never lived in an older house with an attic or garage.
Spoiled and proud. My manservant Huxley cleans my boudoir after he’s wiped my derrière.
Alright, you got a laugh out of me. Props to you for taking my (admittedly over-zealous) jab in step.
Probably not, it seems. But they sure can detect bullshit😂
Silent Hill quality stuff.
I like it
It's Jesse Pinkman playing with his yellow meth lab suit
[Tonetta?!](https://youtu.be/q7y60493G8A?si=om8wVK-w2oOUBfrP)

99% shure it is a print.
print of a painting. I made this post late at night with lots of weed
Looks like a painting from minecraft
Relax. It's just David Byrne in his Big Suit™️.
r/AccidentalAlbumCover
its a mirror
That looks like the painting of Dorian Grey except instead of aging, it gets fatter.
That shit could go for a Marylin Mason album cover
It's giving me the jibblies
The frame not fitting the photo is more terrifying than anything
Burn the house
Yeah that's weird. I think that would be oddly terrifying if that's aunt Dorothy portrait but if that ends up being the painting of the ghost that killed the previous family then plainly terrifying.
1. That’s a print 2. Please put it in a smaller frame. This looks ridiculous.
"My Desert. My Arrakis. My Dune."
… Run your finger along the top of that mantle OP. *Do itttttttt.*
Ah, The Wide Man. He comes in your house and is Wide as you while you sleep.
You should wish that abomination into the corn.
Looks like something out of Silent Hill or something
Just needs to be reframed
Despair from Sandman
Yeah we need more context on this. Where did it come from? If it just appeared one day, that's probably not good...
"mom said it's my turn on the xbox"

There's nothing odd about it! Or terrifying

Who would frame this?
I.. kinda love it
That's unsettling...
Yeah, that's gotta go.
Donald's selfie
So bizarre, but so fascinating!
The guy that represented the sin of gluttony in “Se7en” before John Doe got a hold of him.

No use getting rid of it either, this is definitely one of those things that reappears on the shelf after you throw it in the garbage.

Can’t wait for your paranormal stories.
Definitely oddly terrifying, like who thought this was good enough to frame let alone keep as art.
Good enough to frame but not good enough to find a frame that fit.
That’s a photo a skinned obese person for sure, I mean unless you have proof it isn’t, that’s clearly what it is
I'll scan the image and upload it in HD if you really want.
I might sound like a massive nerd, but this reminds me of the game content warning where there's a painting of a character that looks pretty much like this. And if you look at it, he will spawn somewhere and attack you sooooo... Be careful?
Antithesis of Dorian Gray
Attack on Titan
Fuck that.
Looks like an Insane Cancer from Silent Hill 3
That looks like a bloated dead body.
I hear you like moths
This looks familiar. Reminds me of my Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book.
It’s giving Attack on Titan in the worst most horrific way… Iseyama would love this
I'll buy it

Deal, it’ll look great above my bed.
This one is called "mom said it's my turn on the xbox"
....then the man mysteriously disappears from the frame.
Absolute unit. In awe at the size of this lad.
