Has anyone noticed how the last painting (by Dali) is the basis for a painting in the book accompanying Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds?

Sorry J.C., but I still don’t know whose work that is! Thanks for your Orpheus tale though; I’d never heard that story/theme before.

Have you discovered the artist of the Temptation of St. Anthony head floating in the delta that’s labeled “artist unknown” on this page?

Visually it references Orpheus’s head floating singing songs of all the heartbreak of the world after he could resist turning to see if Euridyce was following him out of Hades. But there’s no lyre in the painting on this site and the references are sins of the flesh and mind rather than heartbreak.

Anyway, I’d like to know the painter.

When will you cover the greatest artist of our age Roger Dean?!? I like to loose myself staring at his canvas’s while blasting my Yes vinyl at full volume.
