    Name the painting

    I don't know if this has been done before, if there's an active thread for it, but if there isn't this is a game where a person posts a painting and you have to write its title and the painter
    If no one can guess then you give one or two clues, and if again no ones knows you should reveal the answer

    So let's start with something that is probably relatively easy, since it is a famous painting:

    βῆ δ᾿ ἀκέων παρὰ θῖνα πολυφλοίσϐοιο θαλάσσης·
    (he walked silently on the edge of the loudly heard wave-breaking sea)
    Iliad A:34

    One of Picasso's cubist paintings perhaps? I will look into it

    Woman with Parasol, Claude Monet

    For this only the name of the painter is needed, as i think it doesnt have a title:

    Almost certainly not in The National Gallery but it wouldn't surprise me to find it in the Tate Modern which is where it justly belongs.

    It's Dorothy Tanning - Some Roses and Their Phantoms.

    Because it's late, and I can't think properly, here's an easy one:

    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
