3037 Biblical or Deathly, hellish art works
I'll post a few but what I'm really hoping for is a bit of guidance from you lads.

I've recently become deeply interested in the depiction of Biblical concepts as actual beings. I'm reading John Milton's Paradise Lost at the moment and am nearing the end of it, I read Milton, a poem by William Blake, before it.

I know the art work I've attached isn't really anything to do with those works of literature but ah, I don't know where I'm going with this. I'm not to bright you see (sob story ect)

But yes, what I'm hoping is that one of you could point me in the right direction for more good stuff like the above and attached. The art works I'll be posting are just a few I've found on google image searches so I don't really know about them, I just like them. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks lads

This is my favourite portion of The Triumph of Death, I've tried digging up more information on Death as a being but I've had little luck on the internet. The whole fucking net is swamped with fucking deviant art drawings by 14 year old kids.

You need to check out Bosch. His stuff is often really surreal but it's very close to that first image you posted.

John Martin you've already got, but just fyi, there's an exhibition at the Tate running until 15th Jan of his stuff. I've not gone but my dad said it was breathtaking, and that you just can't get any real feel for these kinds of works until you see them towering over you.

Fucksake, I should check this board more often, I missed that and the Tate is real close to me.

Bugger.

Moaning out the way, thanks for the recommendation.
