OK, here is another painting by Pieter Breughel the Elder, painted in 1562. Apparently he worked on doing Mordor also.

With those skeletal figures, it looks like he's painted "Army of Darkness" a few centuries ahead of time

I like "Army of Darkness," it's one of the few movies I actually own. My wife loves movies, but that is one she won't watch with me.

It is reminiscent - I suppose the guys who made it may have been familiar with the painting.

Interestingly, Brueghel apparently only lived to the age of 44, so he must have painted this while still in his 30's. I guess it looks like something that someone in their 30's might paint.
