I love this painting and used to stare at it in university trying I guess to grasp my own insignificance. I found this description and it really hits the nail on the head.
Thus abandoned and solitary in the world, human beings are forced to confront their own freedom, a freedom to choose that is both demanding and deadly serious. This painting goes straight to the heart of this source of human anxiety and raises an essential question: can destiny be altered? A helpless witness to imminent disaster, the viewer of this painting can never know the outcome. Clearly, the train cannot deviate from its track, but the horse has a choice - we think. Is it mesmerized by the light? Is it challenging a foe? Is it aware of the terrible danger? If not, can the engineer stop the train in time? The animal may be driven by instinct, but the human faces an ethical dilemma: Is it worth stopping? How much does the death of a horse matter? Which is more dangerous - to brake and cause a possible derailment, or to keep going and risk a deadly collision? Can we halt time - the little that remains?
To find the cache solve the following puzzle. The cache is hidden at:
N 44 42.ABC
W 063 33.DEF
Where:
A = Number of letters in the first word of the name of the painting minus number of letters in the last word of the name of the painting.
B = Number of letters in the last name of the artist plus one
C = Number of letters in the name of the city where the painting now resides minus one.
D = Number of letters in the first word of the name of the University where the artist received his Fine Arts degree.
E = Number of words in the name of the company that donated the painting minus five.
F = The picture was inspired by a poem published in 1949 by writer Roy Campbell. The number of words in the country Mr. Campbell is from.
