In "The Tell-Tale Heart", the narrator hears voices from heaven…

The painting that inspired me is The Temptation of Saint Anthony, 1946 I really like this piece because of the oversized proportions and the amount of detail in the painting the more you observe it the more things you notice and wonder, like the giant elephants lead by the giant horse that inspired him to do certain things.
