The most terrible picture in the world is mystical stories

To date, it is believed that the most terrible picture in the world is Bill Stoneham's "Hands Resist to Him," which he wrote in 1972 in his old childhood photo. On it, a five-year-old future artist is depicted with his sister near the house in which they then lived. At first glance, the worst picture in the world is not so terrible. Although, of course, the girl's face is somewhat embarrassed by the look of the mask. However, after the first exhibition in the picture gallery, strange and mystical reviews will fly to this painting, which will then be called damned.
Many people claimed that when they saw "Hands Resist to Him" they experienced a sharp deterioration in their well-being, down to a loss of consciousness. John Marley, who ventured to acquire a picture with an unusual reputation, soon died after the purchase, and the canvas was strangely found in a dump. After this, the most terrible picture in the world several times changed the owners, who were in a hurry to get rid of it, because they felt its incomprehensible influence. Now it was not just about feeling unwell, but about ghosts - a boy and a girl who supposedly left the canvas and walked around.

Later, the "damned" canvas became one of the lots of online auction eBay. The fame of the picture only increased the number of visitors who want to look at it. Most of them noted that the reputation of Bill Stoneham's work was well-deserved - people who saw it experienced a sharp deterioration in their state of health and mood. This did not stop to buy it to Kim Smith for his gallery. However, he soon rushed to get rid of this exhibit - tired of constant complaints from visitors and suggestions for expelling demons. The subsequent fate of the picture is still unknown.

The title "the most terrible picture in the world" can also boast Claude Monet's work "Water Lilies." Behind this canvas is a whole series of fires. The first happened in the author's house right after he finished this work. However, the fire was quickly extinguished, and the mysterious picture was not damaged. She remained unharmed and even after a fire in a fun place in Montmartre, where she got from the studio of Monet. Cabaret burned down a month after its owners bought the ill-fated canvas. Maecenas Oscar Schmitz from Paris a year after buying the "Water Lilies" lived normally. However, after this time, like the previous owners of the picture, was burned. The canvas (oh, miracle!) Was not hurt again. Now it is owned by the New York Museum of Modern Art. Four months later, the fire that happened here, seriously damaged the "damned" canvas.

There are other terrible pictures of the world that have such a reputation that few will risk acquiring them. For example, "Venus with a mirror", written by Diego Velazquez. The first owner of the painting, a prosperous Spanish merchant, was ruined shortly after the acquisition of the canvas. Sold out everything with a hammer, he got rid of the "Venus", which was bought by a wealthy owner of port warehouses. Almost immediately with him also happened a major trouble - a fire that turned his gunpowder into all his business. The picture was not hurt. It was bought by another wealthy Spaniard, whom on the third day after that they stabbed him in a robbery in his own house. Then the canvas roamed from one museum to another for a long time, until one insane woman spoiled it with a knife. However, at this work the list of "the most terrible paintings of artists" does not end in any way. Moreover, it is constantly replenished with fresh specimens. So, we are waiting for new mystical stories.
