The latest addition to Thomas Kinkade's stable of artists is none other than ex-fascist dictator Adolf Hitler.

Hitler, who had given up a promising career in the arts for politics, decided to return to his first love: painting scenes of provincial life and nature in his adopted home of Vienna.

Thomas Kinkade himself says of Hitler, "Because of his celebrity status, people often underestimate his skills as an artist. It's a familiar story, and one to which I can obviously relate."
