What was the deal about that? I understand Tony hated it, and wanted is destroyed, but somehow Paulie got his hands on it and put it up at his place.

Tony commissioned the portrait but couldn't bear to look at after his horse was killed in a fire. He told his boys to trash it, but instead Paulie took it and had it repainted with Tony in a Napolean outfit. At the time, Paulie was hinting at defecting to Johnny Sack and he was obviously mocking Tony's leadership skills. But of course he tried to turn it into a compliment when Tony showed up at his place.
