I've always been a fan of Salvador Dali. Back when I used to to be into doing art a lot more than now (was a graph head for years) surrealism was by far the most influential on me.

Man! There's some great stuff here. I've been beaten to the Bosch and Bruegel. Love the wacky stuff of the Northern European Renaissance. Dali and the Goya, too. Here's a few more, the last is by Alex Colville - a favourite of mine. Got the print on my wall.
Albrecht Durer St Eustace - Check out the deer, it's the source of the picture on the Jagermeister label
Alex Colville - Seven Crows

Yeah, Albrecht Dürer is up there with Bosch and Bruegel. I think they all did their own "Dance of Death".

I think you're right. Maybe "The Temptation of St. Anthony" as well?
