Cap Anson and Monet
 

I shared a picture of my N162 Anson on Facebook, and someone brought to my attention "San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk" by Monet. This caused me to photoshop my Anson - a PSA 1(mk) - on top of it. I instantly fell in love, and figured I'd show it here. They go perfectly together! Fun fact: The N162 predates the painting by about 20 years.

Does anyone have the San Giorio Maggiore at Dusk laying around? :p I think it is worth a tad more than the Anson. ($100,000,000 apparently!)

So you're accusing Monet of plagiarism?;)

That comparison makes quite an impression.

Baddum Tss....

Hey, I don't make the rules - I just call it like I see em! :p:p:p

It's in Hotchkiss' Den.

I'd believe it!

On Twitter I mentioned how the sunset was painted to match the sunset of Anson's career...and got fact checked by some punk :p

Right, Peter, now we need another N162 with the obverse background something from Renoir

Great idea...how about The Scream by Edvard Munch and George C. Miller card of Lonnie Warneke?

Beautiful! True story, when I was in graduate school, my wife had a fellowship at a foundation on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, and we lived there together, in a building behind the church, for six months. The sky never looked like that, however.

The Anson looks nice with that back ground.

Can you find a picture back ground for the N162 Kelly? That would be pretty cool.

that would be slick!

Nice comparisons. Have always liked that Anson.

That's cool!

Very cool. They go very nicely together!
