Greg Hildebrandt's 1986 painting, "Hop Frog," depicts a jester in full regalia, seemingly suspended in mid-air, above a roaring fire. His exaggerated grin and mischievous eyes suggest a hidden darkness behind the traditional jester's attire. Hildebrandt's work is known for its surreal and fantastical elements, often inspired by literature and folklore. This painting, with its intense color palette and dramatic lighting, captures the macabre essence of a classic tale of revenge.
