I think you can use FvwmBanner to do this
In InitFunction (or StartFunction if you want to show this for restarts
also).
AddToFunc InitFunction I Module FvwmBanner
.... # some other initialisation here...
+ I KillModule FvwmBanner
Then you need to configure FvwmBanner to show a fullscreen picture and
have a longer time out than the default 3 seconds.
*FvwmBanner: Pixmap <your pixmap>
*FvwmBanner: TimeOut 10 # wait for 10 s (replace 10 if too short)
*FvwmBanner: NoDecor # turn off window decorations
