yeah, this one: isle of the dead, right? it's called the same as the Böcklin, it's an island in venice that's a "floating cemetery," Böcklin did a lot of versions of that same painting. HR Giger must've done it in part as an homage since it's so similar, Böcklin's from the 1800s so he precedes him. but i didn't know that that painting was by HR Giger, so thanks a lot for telling me! i'm gonna check out more of his work now, it looks pretty great from waht i can tell.

oh, and hello and welcome.
