Okay I thought this was cool so I looked for more information which I will now share with the class.
This is not The truth at the bottom of a well. This is Truth coming from the well armed with her whip to chastise humanity) .
From Wikipedia:
Also from Wikipedia: They think it's about a political scandal (Dreyfus Affair) and also a protest against Impressionism.
Neat!
Bonus, the other paintings The nurturer Truth lies in a well, having been killed by liars and actors
Truth is at the Bottom of the Well (different from the other one previously mentioned above)
Wait a minute, WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE! The Lens of Truth being at the bottom of a well in Zelda is based on something and not just a weird little dungeon?
Hot damn!
