Stab in the dark - looking for picture

[rpwoodman]

When I was very young, my primary school had a picture of armageddon where loads of skeletons were killing off humans.
I've spent ages trying to find out what it was so I can get hold of it, but so far have failed.

I don't suppose anyone has any ideas, based on my very vague description?

Thanks

I think that may indeed be a small portion of it - thank you v much.
I don't suppose you have the album where it credits the source of the painting do you?
Not to worry if you don't - it's something to go on.

*silly question time*, but why would you be looking for that? It is rather morbid to say the least :?

Sorry for the delay in replying chaps. Incredibly rude of me.

Thank you very much for all your efforts in finding it - it is indeed the one. I *think* actually, it's been truncated either side, but it may not be.

Umm, why do I want it? Oooh, I don't know - guess I'm feeling old and thinking about when I was young or something (this pic was on a wall when I was at primary school)! :-)
I like pictures like this where each time you study it, you see new things.

I like dark things - baddies in films (some people may remember a thread I started about best baddies a few months back), films where baddies win, ultra violence etc. I am as unviolent/aggressive as it's possible to be - I just like it as a genre.

Thanks again - really appreciate it.

Now get back to work. Yes, that includes you.... :-)

Thats a great painting, I totally understand why you like it, it's haunting. I love pre-raphaelite art as well, my favourite is Millais' "Ophelia":

Girl I used to share a house with loved that pic, and JW Waterhouse pics which to me are pretty similar.

This is *real* art... :-)
