Artist's impression of an illustration in Vaticinia Nostradami:
A monstruous king above a sea of flames. He wears the phrygian cap (1) and the ears of an ass. According to the interpretation of the prophecies: when the sanculottes(2) took power during the french revolution, Pius VI was taken prisoner.
(1)the Phrygian cap is sometimes called a liberty cap; in artistic representations it signifies freedom and the pursuit of liberty.

(2)In the French Revolution, the sans-culottes were the radical partisans of the lower classes; (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-culottes)
In this weird entry I simply mix the images and use burn and dodge (5 years and 2834 days ago)
The lower part of the worker seems transparent.
A very good blend of the human and animal.. But a little more work required in other places.... Keep up the good work author...
Very original entry! in addition to this, you have been searching for the meaning of the items, which gives points to your interpretation. Good artwork!
Congrats, my friend!
