fair warning
Sadly, it isn't that great a scan.
The Van Halen cover uses a small section of "The Maze", namely the bit with the child pointing at the two fighting figures. For years I thought they had used an excerpt from a breughel painting. It's a pretty disturbing work, and very breughel-ish in its entirety IMO. Very inaginative as well - the view out through the mouth into the prairie, w/thee crows circling - wow!

SALEM by Sydney Curnow Vesper (sp?). This is a painting of a Welsh woman looking for a seat in church in around 1900 or so, which my aunt used to have (also at the top of the stairs). I used to find it a blast, until my uncle pointed out that the face of "Satan" was hidden in the woman's shawl, which it totally mortified the life out of 10 year old me. Whenever I went there afterwards I had to close my right eye in case I caught a glimpse. I went on holiday with my aunt and uncle to Aberaeron once, and it just seemed to be "everywhere"... on postcards, in an art gallery, in a framed photo of my aunt's dog (sitting at the top of the stairs). It was like the image was "following" me. I spent one night under the covers in the caravan, crying my eyes out because I was scared that when I died Heaven/Hell would be as gothic or scary as in that portrait. I think that's probably the most profound effect art has had on me.
