The still life '''A Painting Recovered From A Shipwreck''' is an [[artifact]] that only spawns as the [[Fishing]] pre-loot for a [[Waterstained SOS]]. According to experts, the pre-loot spawn is random, which explains the relative high cost of retail copies of this painting. The painting is decorative only and rare.


==Notes==
* The painting is a rendition of an actual Northern Renaissance oil painting. It depicts the Cologne painter Barthel Bruyn the Elder's 1524 "Vanitas Still Life from the reverse of the Wife of Gerhard von Westerburg."
* Within the painting is a note tacked to a tablet. The Gothic Latin of the note says, "''Omina Cadut Mors Ultima Linia Reru''," which translates as "everything is destined to perish," or "death is the final goal of all." <sup>[<font color=#0033ff>1</font>]</sup> Note the use of the word "Ultima" in the original Latin.
