(best viewed by Google Chrome which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this roughly A0 paper size painting. The strip image coloration is the original (last listed) under File history. When that was posted, the author mistyped the artist’s first name (no d) as Belmirod (perhaps misadding the d at the end anticipating typing the de in his name which follows). Looking at the History, that was corrected March 21, 2010 (predates the start of the strip here; that Mr. Melcher repeated the mistake here, he must have some really old images in a folder to be used for future strips). Anyway, since the Portuguese Title link points to a lengthly Wikipedia.org page about the painting, I didn’t add its links to the URL.
all have Portuguese info (again, Chrome can translate) about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here.
Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2066 (October 23, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

I don’t know why you are so upset. It wasn’t cheating if we were on a break.
