Shubin's painting reminds me of the mysterious masked patron in `Amadeus.
After Salieri realizes that the commendatory scene from Don Giovanni is Mozart's attempt to have his father accuse his son (probably for marrying a woman he didn't approve of), Salieri figures out a way to eliminate Mozart as his rival composer forever. He will come to Mozart's house dressed in the same costume his father wore ealier in the movie and request a requiem mass, which will be a truly inspired work because Mozart can write it with his father in mind to make amends for any wrong he did to him during his life. Salieri then plans to kill Mozart and pass the work off as his own. A truly scary/genius scene from [Miloš Forman's] `Amadeus.
