Any idea if this predates the artwork for the German show Dark? They're strikingly similar. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zdzisław_Beksiński Yes it does... This is a painting from maybe 60s or 70s if I would guess. |

This would be perfect for an establishing shot in a Dark Sun DnD campaign. |

I dont know if they are really that similar. The idea of a valley leading to a cave or opening in a wall isn't exactly original to either piece of work. I think that the one you linked might be similar either by coincidence or artists subconscious, but I highly doubt it is inspired by this artwork. |

I strongly suspect Beksinski's art was a big inspiration for Dark; iirc he was most prolific in the 60s-90s - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zdzisław_Beksiński his whole portfolio is a catalog of WHOA HOLY SHIT https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/the-dystopian-surrealism-of-zdzislaw-beksinski/ |
