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

Reminds me of the scene in Destiny 2: The Witch Queen

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.
