"The Fisher Baron" was painted by Sylvio Firena and is a famous work of art.
Its subject was reportedly a jumped-up baron of Bolden who enjoyed his trade long after he had any need of it. The picture is a curious juxtaposition of two different styles of fishing and it isn't clear that the baron would have practiced either.
Sometimes called Sylvio's Folly, it was painted while Firena was still a student at the Heralapix. It lacks the presentation of his later work and is often presented as a case of the artist not knowing his subject well enough to communicate it to his audience. Despite it's odd character, it is a painting held in very high regard.
The original hangs in the Hall of Art at the Heralapix of Ald Ciula.
