Correct me if I'm wrong, gentlemen, but I believe this is a painting of He Yingqin of the ROC accepting Japan's surrender from General Yasuji Okamura, commander of the Japanese army in China. I see no US troops present, and wtf could the EU possibly have to do with it?

I still cant figure out what's going on in that pic. The rifles and BDU indicate Asia between the 20s and 60s, the flags indicate post WW2, the canadian flag means it's post 1967.

huh? Why is there a Haitian flag in that picture?

It's a recent painting, and the flags are an anachronistic mistake by the artist.

>The winner of the Gold Medal at the 2004 National Exhibition of Arts was a huge painting by Chen Jian of the Japanese surrender in 1945 – starring General He Yingqin, a man whose portrait has not appeared on the Mainland since 1949.

You're telling me that's a painting? I don't believe that for a fucking second. Sauce plz!

You'll have to get sauce from OP, since all I've found are references to the painting. But seriously, look at the image: the composition is simply too perfect for it to be a photo; every little detail is perfectly placed; and it has an uncanny universal light source.

tl;dr It's a painting.

Obviously it's a painting, just look and the audience people in the background, perspective etc is all wrong.
>> Anonymous
sure the audience looks like it is always the same guy but I guess that the picture only looks weird because it is a very big painting in reality. if you would stand in front of it I doubt you would say that it has flaws in perspective

The armed soldiers behind the audience must be 7-8 feet tall if their heads peek over the standing group like that.
The flagbearers standing at the back of the room between the pillars must be 9-10 feet tall, if the audience sitting around is correctly proportioned.

Yeah I was wondering about that.

The soldiers could standing on the steps, but the flagbearers must be fuckin huge.
>> 7eAL !!tllRoBnU1Sb
>>336853
The heads of the soldiers in question are also slightly larger than the heads of the people in the last seated and standing rows, that's why they aren't simply standing on a platform.

And because nobody pointed this out before - all the soldiers are physically identical. I've heard white people and black people say that all Asians look the same to them, but this is taking it over the top.

*facepalm* for using the post-confederation Canadian flag. In 1945, it would have been the red ensign provided Canada was even acknowledged.

It's called a turret.
I've seen them up close on the Wisconsin. And yeah, they are pretty big. They needed to be that big to allow them to last more than a couple of minutes in battleship vs battleship combat.
