About the painting

Man Proposes, God Disposes is an 1864 oil-on-canvas painting by the English artist Sir Edwin Landseer. The work was inspired by the search for Franklin's lost expedition which disappeared in the Arctic after 1845. The painting is in the collection of Royal Holloway, University of London, and is the subject of superstitious urban myth that the painting is haunted.
