"Saviour"

"Saviour" was a painting I did which, in-universe was painted by the famous 1300s TE Romantic artist Vanyaretta. In a triangular composition, it depicted the glory of the Devil appearing to a group of dying castaways. The sea behind them is dull and foreboding, and they are pale and in various states of cold death and decay as he stands there, firm, grandiose, bathed in warm tones, contrasting their weakness. He bears the blasphemous hallmarks of a saint or god in some facsimile of holiness. He represents temptation and desperation against nature's indomitable wrath. Painted in 1365 by Vanyaretta in her home city of Sanctum thanks to funding from Grand Duke Sipolasku I de'Ferrva, it was hidden for fifty years after her death because of how terrifying it was. It also stood 10 metres in width. After its discovery, it was moved to a museum in the town, where it remains.
