I have a pretty interesting (though also disturbing) story to bring you all. It's about a portrait painter who seemed to know when his subjects were going to die. He gained a bit of a reputation for it. The story is allegedly true, but I am personally more than a bit skeptical. It's more logical to believe he was involved somehow in CAUSING the deaths than having a special power to predict death.

You could have given some more details or some links to read about. I never heard of it and I am clueless.

I only briefly heard about it in passing, just thought it was weird and a good writing topic. Not a lot of details (like the identity of the artist) were given to me, so can't write details I don't have.

@jnrdutton Oh! I see. It's an interesting topic and it does sound creepy too.

A painter of portraits has to look very closely at his/her subjects and - if he/she has a bit of medical knowledge - might be able to see signs of impending disease. One of these is circles round the iris of the eye - a sign of potential heart disease.
