Iris & Morpheus Chromogenic print by Claudia Cunin. Reproduced without the owners knowledge or permission. Work completed in 2007, currently at auction (starting price $3,200). Its all cool and shit.

This is a painting of a field of poppies. i dot particularly care who/when/why this was painted, but i care because the official flower of Morpheus Stadium was the Poppy. Which is mildly legit. This is funny because poppies are what OPIUM comes from. Also, this looks like northern Italy/Southern France, so the fact that the painter assumed ANYTHING would be this 'organized" is petty sad...
