This
original painting is David O’Keefe’s amazing characterization of the acclaimed
Godfather I & II films. Set in the
Corleone conference room, the entire cast from both films is accomplished and not
a character is forgotten. With the title
“Never Betray the Family” scrolled below the scene in Italian, both loyal and
non-loyal members share the ominous expression of working with the family. Fredo’s tie is branded with a dagger, the age
old symbol of betrayal. As such,
numerous iconographies and symbolisms are embedded within the painting. Most notably, Don Vito is depicted three
times: as the infamous Don, as a young gangster and as a young boy new to New
York. This is an offer you can’t refuse.
