Top 10 Album Covers Featuring a Piece Of Art
I ranked the pieces of art (paintings) used for the covers and not the music of the albums.
It features a painting by Elisabetta Sirani (1638-1665): "Herodias, with head of John the Baptist".
It features the painting Elegy (1899) by French painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
It features Thomas Cole's painting "Old Age" (The Voyage of Life), 1842
An album cover of 2008 that features a painting of 1559 - Netherlandish Proverbs by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The original artwork is known by many names: Flemish Proverbs, The Blue Cloak or The Topsy Turvy World.
I mean the picture on the wall. Do Led Zeppelin fans know who painted it?
This is an original album cover but it was created by Salvador Dalí himself so I guess it counts. Salvador Dalí created it for the purposes of this album because Jackie Gleason was a friend of his.
It features artwork by Theodor Kittelsen (1857-1914) named Op under Fjeldet toner en Lur (Norwegian for "Up in the Hills a Clarion Call rings out").
