You can also use the action view image_tag helper:

<%= image_tag 'http://power.itp.ac.cn/~jmyang/funny/fun4.jpg' %>

Alternatively you can just use the regular HTML tags:

ERB:

<img src="http://power.itp.ac.cn/~jmyang/funny/fun4.jpg">

Haml:

%img{ src: "http://power.itp.ac.cn/~jmyang/funny/fun4.jpg" }

Slim:

img src="http://power.itp.ac.cn/~jmyang/funny/fun4.jpg"

This works, but if there is no dinamic involved, the static version of the tag (like pierr's) shall save you some millisecons on rendering, which of course you only matter if you have millions of visitors and load is an issue.

Put the URL into an img tag inside the view for the page that should display the image.

In my case, the image didn't show until I added alt attribute. So if that didn't work I think you can try this way.

<%= image_tag 'http://power.itp.ac.cn/~jmyang/funny/fun4.jpg', alt: 'fun' %>

Tested and worked. 

<img src="http://power.itp.ac.cn/~jmyang/funny/fun4.jpg", width="500" , height="400"> </img>

What was your previous attempt? :-/
Images don't have a closing tag like that... <img />
