Let's see how well HLP'ers know their classical art. This image contains a series of bitmaps from an old PC game. They're all classical artworks. How many can you identify?



Note that #1 and #3 remain unidentified.

[Unknown Target]

They're all from Thief: The Dark Project!

[ZylonBane]

Actually, no.

[Solatar]

I'd say #10 is Starry Night, but that's either real obvious, or I'm real stupid.

As for the others...I dunno...

[Thorn]

Yeah.. thats starry night..
Had it rammed down my throat in grade 12 english class...

[Taristin]

7 is a generic Madonna and Child, dunno the artist...

I may be utterly useless at classic art, but I'm pretty sure you grabbed those out of Shock2's electronic paintings.

[Unknown Target]

number 9 is SO from Thief...
Of course, SS2 uses the same engine as Thief 2, so they might've carried over the paitnings from thief into thief 2, and so on into SS2...

Oh c'mon, you're just saying that because you looked at the filename.

Actually, no. It wasn't until you mentioned it that I looked at the filename.

However, the first time I played Shock2, clicked through every single painting until they looped, thinking there might be a clue or something. This of course, eventually paid off.

I recognise #2, as i spent several weeks doing his paintings in school, but instead of the artists real name, all i think of is Carl Gustov, which is a Anti-tank missile.

Same here, except I'm thinking Escher instead of missile.
