I can't see how the image supports the idea of somebody inflicting pain to themselves to show how badass they are. Looked hard to find a replacement but nothing came up.

It's not all that clear because of the art, but the guy is holding his forearm in a fire. I'm calling this a Keep Until Better Image Suggested case.

Alright, now I see it. May I suggest a different crop with better focus?

Btw, there is a similar shot for sale on getty.

More suggestions of the same scene: [1], [2], [3], [4]

That Getty site is a complete rip-off...it's a classic work of art from the 1600s.

Nonetheless, I think the other suggestions are better in illustrating the trope.

I think they're a lateral change.

I like the idea of cropping the current for better focus. I could also get behind 4.4.

I could go with 4.4.

^ Seems like a good idea at this point.

Looks like we've got a winner. Can someone please take care of making the swap? Thanks in advance.

Caption?

What shall we do about the caption? Not sure if it still applies.

The caption relates to the same situation, if by a different painter. I say we keep it.

Swapped and tagged. Left the pothole to The Roman Republic and the caption, for now.

Do we know the title and artist of the painting, to update ImageSource.Art?
