The Giant vs Man meme, often featuring a massive skeleton or monster looming over a tiny knight, originates from the atmospheric digital paintings of Polish artist Jakub Rozalski. The specific image that went viral is titled '1471' and became a staple of internet culture around 2018. It is primarily used as a visual metaphor for facing overwhelming odds, David vs. Goliath scenarios, or the intimidating nature of everyday challenges. Whether representing a difficult video game boss or a corporate entity, the meme perfectly captures the feeling of being a small player against a monumental force.
