The Paintings[]
The paintings with which the artist surrounds himself are all his real works. Many of the pictures are from known artists like Francisco Goya (»Saturn Devouring His Son«) or Rembrandt (»The Abduction of Ganymede«). Some of the pictures are even cuttings of bigger paintings, like the picture of the dog in the daughter's room which belongs, actually, to a portrait of a man. For more Info go to the Paintings.
