“Der Feuerteufel” (it means “firestarter” but literally translates as “fire devil”), which appeared on the cover of Germany’s premier news magazine “Der Spiegel”. Tap to see at full size.

Last month, this painting appeared on the cover of Der Spiegel (here’s the international edition, in English), the most-read news magazine not just in Germany, but Europe as well. Its title is Der Feuerteufel (the firestarter), and its subtitle is Ein Präsident setzt sein Land in Brand (“a president sets fire to his country”).
