Well, honorable mention has to go to @Slithy_Tove for recognizing that it was a work by Nicholas Poussin (“Et in Arcadia Ego,” 1638), but the prize has to go to @Kent_Clark for this one: > [@Kent\_Clark](#): > > “Gaius, go five yards and then cut outside.

I was going to give this one to @Knowed_Out because Star Trek references are always welcome, but @knoodler brought in a religious tone, and accurately points out that the artist did a better job drawing humans than he did fruit. Go @knoodler. Be fruitful and post. ---
