What is the large painting in the background from the meeting with Santino and how does it relate to the scene?
When John meets with Santino in the museum to accept the marker in John Wick: Chapter 2, what is the large painting Santino is looking at when he enters and how does it relate to the scene? It features soldiers in a battle, a cannon, and a soldier on horseback. I want to guess it is a French battle scene, but I have no idea if that is correct.
