Now go listen to the Rachmaninoff piece inspired by this (it has the same name).

I learned about these paintings from Signalis
Ayyy same. I may have seen them before somewhere, but the two are forever connected in my memories with this painting.
A Stunning art I discovered last year, which i addapted in my Pathfinder gae as the place every dead person thing they are once they are dead, Everything feels so unique in this paintingh and in a way we can feel how it looks like this place makes sense and doesn't at the same time

HR Giger's "Homage to Böcklin" after Böcklin's Island of the Dead (1977)
that looks pretty sick
I'd be surprised if there wasn't any connection. It definitely looks inspired, but what's the context in destiny? (I've never played it)
Is it bad that I know this work because it was repeatedly shown in Signalis? Probably, but I wish we could see the other versions that were lost.
As a little seasonal gift, here are the first two versions:
1st Version
2nd version
