    That’s a painting not a picture, your semantics have failed you

      My counter argument: The Picture of Dorian Gray

      It seems the word picture at the very least used to be used for paintings as well, so it’s more that it’s just an uncommon usage. Maybe the guy is a time traveler.

        Or Pictures at an Exhibition (wikipaedia link) by Modest Mussorgsky?

        (Especially the Emerson, Lake & Palmer version) (Youtube link)

        In the UK at least, “Picture” is totally fine shorthand, even today, to refer to a flat 2D thing that might be put on a wall in a gallery, whether it be a painting, drawing, photograph etc. More formally it would tend towards being a figurative (rather than abstract) work.

      The whole thing is drawn, how can you tell it’s not a picture?

        Because it’s a representation of an actual painting, but if we’re going to be overly semantic then I give up. You win

            It’s light traveling from your phone to your eyeballs.

            Then it’s neuronal signals to your brain.

            OMG it’s abstraction all the way down, isn’t it!? :-P

              Those neurons are cells and they need the mitochondria which uses protein to make energy… so everything is just energy in some form or other

                And energy in turn derives from the sub-atomic level, which itself sits on top of the quantum, although some people say that it is all oscillations of n-branes… therefore do any words ever have any meaning, really, ever?:-P

      I’m not sure I like the picture you’re trying to paint with this comment.
