![]() ![]() The visual concept of the Swamp cemetery (the ruined church with the bald spectral trees) resembles a famous 19th century gothic painting The Abbey in the Oakwood by the German painter Caspar David Friedrich.The third fresco in the dining hall of Kaer Morhen is very reminiscent of a Gustave Moreau painting. ![]() ![]() This painting features a man in a pose identical to the sculpture of Laocoön and His Sons, battling with snakes. Geralt says "Witchers are better with a sword than a paintbrush" when he approaches it. On the other side of the doorway from 'Witcher George' is another painting with serpents.George is often depicted in Eastern Orthodox Church iconography. A "monster slayer" on a horse killing a scaly beast. In Kaer Morhen on the ground floor, there is a picture on the wall on which Geralt will comment with "Witcher George slaying the dragon." which shows striking similarities to Paolo Uccello's Saint George and the Dragon.In some of the houses and locations there is a picture hanging about of Leonardo da Vinci (at least it looks very much like him).Some players feel that the runes on a sword tempered with temporary runes spell silentrun with what seems to be the futhark-based runic alphabet from Ultima. ![]()
