I don't have a huge inventory of paintings inside my head, but this one always stood out to me. (It used to be my avatar)

"Chronos Devouring His Children" by Francisco de Goya

Not only is it somewhat disturbing, it is based on Greek mythology. Double whammy.

And even though they're not paintings per se, I have to post something by M. C. Escher. This is one of my favorites.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
