Osiris and Isis

Here is a modern painting of Osiris and Isis, or at least that is the name of this piece.  Be prepared: it's probably not at all what you're going to expect.  What do you think?  What comparisons does the artist make?  Are they effective?

I really like this and could not put into words why.  The explanation the art curator (?) gives is especially intriguing.  I would never have "gotten" any of that, but I think it's pretty amazing.  I'm curious what you think or if you feel the complete opposite.
