    This famed and much-interpreted image includes a variety of mathematical and architectural tools, some meteorologial/astronomical phenomena, a sacked-out canine, and, um, a sullenly-ugly, sleep-laden infant with obvious avian ancestry. And that's not even to mention the major figure. What am I talking about, and who created this image?

    		Feeling depressed by this one?

    You might consider my response on #86838.

    		Ah!

    This, then, could be Durer's "Melencolia."

    Now, how about #86598? In my opinion, this work deserves at least a glance.

    		Of course it could also be some grotesque thing by Bosch or Dali, especially if "avian" doesn't mean "winged."

    		Ah ha! Yes, it does mean "winged," so I'll give you a nice set of silver scales, fresh out of my vault.

    And now that your humors are in balance, I hope you're feeling quite cheerful.
