Top 10 scariest paintings of artists

Art can be different - beautiful and cute, impressive or intimidating, touching the soul or turning inside out. But in the world there are several paintings that no collector wants to see in his house. Pictures terrifying to horror and taking away souls …

1. "Hands Resisting Him" ​​(Bill Stoneham)

The picture, created by Bill Stoneham in 1972, at first glance does not look really terrible. If you do not know that the depicted girl with a doll face is a guide to the THAT world, and not see the palms on the other side of the glass. And also not to know how many deaths she caused.

2. The Scream (Edward Munch)

This picture is not in vain one of the worst. All the people who came into contact with her very soon became ill and died.

3. Gallowgate Lard (Ken Curry)

A self-portrait of a famous artist you hardly want to hang over your bed. After all, having seen his sleep, you can thunder for a long time in a psychiatric hospital.

4. "Still life of masks" (Emil Nolde)

The canvas of Emil Nolde in the style of expressionism rightfully takes place in the ranking of the most terrible paintings. They say that if you look at its original for more than 10 minutes, you can go crazy.

5. "Two old men eat soup" (Francisco Goya)

The plot from the cycle of paintings painted on the walls of the house of Francisco Goya, recalls a nightmare. At the sight of this canvas, it really becomes creepy.

6. "Severed Heads" (Theodore Gericault)

The mere fact that the picture depicts real heads (the artist wrote them off from skulls taken in a morgue) is terrifying.

7. The “Crying Boy” (Bruno Amadio)

The plot of this picture is not at all scary. However, there is something from which many people bypass it. According to popular belief, it causes fires in the room in which it is located.

8. "Water Lilies" (Claude Monet)

The painting "Water Lilies" is a true masterpiece of world art. But wherever she hung, a fire broke out everywhere. What is this an accident? Coincidence? Or maybe a pattern?

9. Venus at the Mirror (Diego Velazquez)

In appearance, no art lover wants to have such a harmless picture in his collection. It is believed that if you hang it in your own home, a black streak will immediately begin in the life of the owner.

10. "Woman of the Rain" (Svetlana Taurus)

The last picture in today's rating is the work of the hands of the Venetian artist Svetlana Taurus. She painted it back in 1996. Could sell only a few years later. She would have enjoyed the sale, but only after 2 weeks the buyer returned the canvas back. The reason is the feeling of having someone third in the apartment. The same thing happened with the second and third buyers. Now the picture is modestly hanging in one of Venice's shops.
