Paint For Your Life

“If you had to pick someone to paint for your life, who would you pick?”
“What do you mean, paint for my life?”
“Well, if you were gonna be killed by someone unless . . .”
“Unless what?”
“Well, unless someone did a great painting to stop them.”
“Why would that stop them?”
“Well, they’re art lovers.”
“The would-be killers?”
“Yes.”
“And unless some artist does a great painting, they’ll kill me?”
“Exactly.”
“And does the artist have to be alive now?”
“No, they can be from any period.”
“However that works - some dead painter will do a great painting and my life could be saved”
“Just go with it? Who would you pick?”
“Caravaggio.”
“Interesting. It might work.”
“Thanks.”
