Haven't seen Francisco Goya mentioned yet.

I went to see an exhibition of some of his work (The Disasters of War) and I have to admit I was extremely surprised. Before going I knew only what I learned in school (mostly his majas) but some of the stuff there was very explicit and horrifying. I felt something similar to what I felt when I first read some parts of Berserk.

Yeah, a lot of the themes and imagery he draws on would look right at home in Berserk. Here's a collection of The Disasters of War as a matter of fact:

There's a poignant, twisted comedy to the titles of some of these, not the kind that makes you want to laugh though:

Goya, Caravaggio, Dali and Schiele are all some of my favorite artists! I'd also like to share these:

Louise Bourgeois
