A close-up of Adama’s Cylon War painting

June 30th, 2007 | Category: Battlestar Galactica

I thought that image was worthy of a post on its own for Battlestar fans. While on our tour within the sets of the show that week, one specific set was mind blowing in its detail: Adama’s quarters. One amazingly cool artifact on that set is the painting from the First Cylon War, which I believe hasn’t really been captured in that much detail before. Note the old-style Cylon on the right.

From BattlestarWiki: “Monclair was a Colonial painter. One

of his original paintings, a stylized depiction of the Cylon War, adorns William Adama’s quarters on Galactica. He is apparently of considerable renown, given Gaius Baltar’s impressed reaction to the piece (Bastille Day).According to the book, Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion, the painting hanging in Adama’s quarters was actually made by additional art director Ken Rabehl.”
