Tough morning in the news.
How about we take our minds off senseless killing for a minute and instead, appreciate a work of beautiful Baroque art, the not so subtle force of gravity, and the grace of the human body in motion.
There's a video of the incident.

A 12-year-old boy in Taiwan accidentally ripped a hole into a 350-year-old painting by Baroque artist Paolo Porpora that's worth over $1.5 million, according to the exhibition's organizers showcasing the painting.
The boy was caught on security footage this past Sunday at "The Face of Leonardo, Images of a Genius" exhibition in Taipei, according to the exhibition's Facebook page.
The video shows the 12-year-old tripping over a rope barrier and trying to catch his balance on the 17th-century oil painting titled "Flowers." He accidentally punches a hole the size of a fist into the painting and looks around, apparently in shock, when he gets up.
I'd love to know his first three thoughts immediately after he realizes what happened.
On a lighter note: You break, you pay?
