This looks like one of the real photographs used in the 2 book series beginning with "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" by Ransom Riggs. Paintings like that can inspire writing.
There are plenty of artists around bursting with talent. This stuff is stale and not very impressive on its own merits. Maybe this artist has other work that is not derivative of centuries' old paintings and that might warrant more attention.
This art is wonderful. The style, at least, was predicted in a short story collection in the 1980s by an author whose name I can't recall, who wrote a wonderful story about the newest trend in graffiti: writing classical literature and poetry on bathroom walls, in calligraphic perfection. The shock of reading snippets of great works on bathroom walls led to a renaissance of civilization, one toilet stall at a time.
Banksy, move over, there is more art to graffiti than grit and edginess.
Judicial writing is usually so bland and verbose — what a deadly combination! — that we readers of court opinions do naturally perk up when we encounter something like "mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie." http://berbagi321.blogspot.com

Cool idea...I just wish he weren't painting pastiches (or copies?) of Baroque paintings. It's boring.
You just thing they're boring because they're bourgeoisie.
I'm sure you'd be much more comfortable with heroic figures painted in red.

Well, I am just happy to see an artist with actual talent...

If you stumbled upon some of those in old, abandoned buildings, you might think you had seen a ghost.
