Goya's Black Paintings - illustrated here Saturn devouring his son; witches sabbath (pic at end of text) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Paint... I wouldn't include Van Gogh if I were you - fears, phobias and superstitions were not his line Have you looked at the work of Aubrey Beardsley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrey_Bear... Also look at paintings of Swiss artist Bocklin -e.g. the island of the deadhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_B%C3...
