"Dope" Art I have seen- Goya's Black Paintings


-An article by by G. Fernández at theartwolf.com- This is very extenisve and even shows the original placement in his House of the Deaf Man.
-The Wikipedia Page-
-HVBK.com's page- This has great images of the paintings online
- A NY Times Article on the Black Paintings-


Note- yes that is Saturn eating a baby (his baby) in that top painting and nothing is as scary, black, or dark as two old people eating soup in the bottom picture.  Most of these are in the Prado in Madrid, and if you get a chance to see them in person, it is a surreal experience.
