I was reading through the Inner Sea World Guide and noticed a striking resemblance between the illustration on page 42 (Andoran) and Liberty Leading the People (famous painting by Eugene Delacroix displayed in the Louvre).
I thought I'd start this thread to see if anyone else has found examples of famous scenes inspiring Paizo's artists.
There was the halfling nativity scene a couple years ago.

BTW, those Andoran illustrations were deliberate, I included the Earth artwork as a reference for the artist.
Cool thread!
I hope it's ok if I give an example that isn't from a Paizo book.

Being a pro artist: All art is "borrowed" or "influenced" from other source, from Picasso to Super Jail.
With that being said is it always cool to see an artist do their take on something famous, whether it be another piece of art, or a idea.
Honestly I would love to see some of the Paizo artists do a "homage" to some of the old D & D art, from the 70's (bad and good).

Done! We try to subtle about it, but we've done it a few times. Check out Pathfinder #23 for one example.

Hmm. At a guess, I'd say page 34 and something to do with S2, the one with Whelm, Wave and Blackrazor? (Memory failing. Haven't had that module for a decade or more...)

Greatest crazy unrealistic monster dungeon room ever created!

Depending on how meta you want to get: Art inspired by art inspired by the nativity.

I failed my sanity check for five minutes. Was totally delirious about this.
The horn-browed indentikit tieflings are terrible. I'd forgotten how bad a look that is.I hope it's ok if I give an example that isn't from a Paizo book.

It's also not a new look. The Rajans had forehead horns and the weird chin horns over twenty years ago in Talislanta. I'm certain it predates that too.

Page #29. A classic.
