If I was not so terrified the first time round, I would watch #TheTerror again to see if it really did reference all the paintings I saw in it... 1/

This one was obvious and in the credits -Sea of Ice by Friedrich 2/

This was towards the end, Saturn devouring his Children by Goya 3/

I am sure someone must have already listed these but I can’t find it. This one I am less sure about-The Raft of the Medusa by Géricault (possibly toward the end) 4/

I am pretty confident there’s a Dead Christ painting in there too but I can’t find it on Google because I am not sure who painted it... 5/

Not all paintings -there was also Fenton’s Valley of the Shadow of death 6/

think the very last scene in the first series was also a tableau restaging a famous image but although I can see it in my mind, again I can’t put a name to it 7/

There must be lots more but I “watched” a lot of the series with my head under a blanket, asking “is it over yet?”

I wouldn’t be surprised if Courbet turned up in there somewhere too.

Calling all real art historians (19th Century specialists!) who watched #TheTerror
