In order, left-right, top-bottom
Cornelius Hickey:
Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette - Vincent Van Gogh - He smokes. Heās dangerous. As in part one my Van Gogh thing rises again
Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on 16 November 1581 - Ilya Repin - Ivan killed someone he loved. Hickey killed someone he loved. Hickey did feel less remorse though
Fir Forest I - Gustav Klimt - Itās red. Essentially
Perilous Position of HMS 'Terror', Captain Back, in the Arctic Regions in the Summer of 1837 - William Smyth - as with part one. Get used to seeing this. Heās on Terror innit
Saturn Devouring his Son - Francisco Goya - Heās the resident cannibal weirdo.
The Scream - Edvard Munch - the thing of it being a horror story from the start for him. Yeah. That.

Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses - John William Waterhouse - Sheās very persuasive, heās very persuasive. Once again my mythology thing rears its head

They forged the last link with their lives: HMS Erebus and Terror, 1849-50 - William Thomas Smith - Variation in the paintings of Terror
Agnus Dei - Francisco De ZurbarĆ”n - Iām sure Iāve seen him compared to a lamb and this fit
Solomon Tozer:
Vampire - Edvard Munch - yet again, it matched Hickey.
Vase with Daisies and Poppies - Vincent Van Gogh - Van Gogh again. Yeah I know. And poppies have war connotations (technically peace, but still). Also itās red like his uniform
The Siren - John William Waterhouse - Again, she looks like Hickey who very successfully lures Tozer in
The Dog - Francisco Goya - I am weak for Tozer and dog imagery
The Two Girlfriends - Henry Toulouse-Lautrec - GIRLNAVY STRIKES AGAIN, it kind of looked like GibTozer to me
Salome - Alphonse Mucha - I didnāt like any of the Solomon paintings and Salome is often used as a girlnavy name. Plus I adore Mucha. (And this was the only Salome painting without the severed head of John the Baptist in it)

Circe Invidiosa - John William Waterhouse - Yeah itās girlnavy again

Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette - Vincent Van Gogh - He smokes (I think?) and heās just sort of grubby
The Spider - Odilon Redon - Itās creepy and grubby and so Des Voeux
Tempest - Ivan Aivazovsky - Itās him again!! Itās dark and that feels Des Voeux
The Magpie - Claude Monet - Snowscape. Plus magpies steal, and while theft is a Hickey thing, you canāt convince me itās not also a Des Voeux thing
The Last Judgement - Hieronymus Bosch - Once again, creepy and grubby, ergo Des Voeux (Iāve said ācreepy and grubbyā a lot but itās a very good description of him)
Man Mocked by Two Women - Francisco Goya - this is the one Iād merged Two Old Men with in my mind
Stephen Stanley:
Still Life with Skull and a Writing Quill - Pieter Claesz - I can imagine Stanley having a skull laying around somewhere
The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons - JMW Turner - FIRE!!!!!
Crucifixion - Francis Bacon - Yeah itās Francis Bacon again. Sue me. The way Stanley holds his arms out when heās on fire. Yeah
The Vitruvian Man - Leonardo Da Vinci - itās like The medical piece of art. Also it matches the other doctors
StaÅczyk - Jan Matejko - Sad, creepy clown/jester. Is that not just Stanley at Carnivale?
The Search for John Franklin in the Arctic - FranƧois Musin - Is that a different painting of the Franklin expedition I see?
Black Backed Gull - Ken Currie - itās creepy, and thereās something about Stanley and birds. Collins asks if his daughter likes birds and I canāt tell why, so if anyone has information on that, that would also be appreciated, I was going mad over this damn painting and Stanley cause of the bird thing
Self-Portrait with Death Playing the Fiddle - Itās just creepy innit
Untitled (the prussian blue death one) - ZdzisÅaw BeksiÅski - Itās so so creepy I love it. If youāre not familiar with this guy heās so good and so creepy, and so interesting, look him up
The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp - Rembrandt - Creepy and surgical, what more could you want? Also he matches Macca
The Flayed Angel - Jacques Fabien Gautier dāAgoty - Creepy and anatomical, again. So Stanley.

Agnus Dei - Francisco De ZurbarĆ”n - heās my favourite sheep on the planet it had to be
Crucifixion - Francis Bacon - I genuinely canāt remember why I thought this. The way heās got his arms outstretched when he dies maybe?
Cassandra - Evelyn De Morgan - He doesnāt get listened to either!!!! But instead itās about the lead not the ice
HMS Erebus in the Ice, 1846 - FranƧois Musin - heās the Erebus assistant surgeon, of course thereās an Erebus

Great Peacock Moth - Vincent Van Gogh - I just vibed. And itās Van Gogh. My fondness is well documented
Head of a Clown - Joseph Kutter - Carnivale costume!!
The teeth one - I donāt know, I donāt remember and tracking it down will make me sick, teeth make me so nauseous. It might have been in the Wellcome collection but donāt quote me on that - Macca talks about teeth exploding (in the scene the screenshot is from no less) it felt right (as sick as it makes me)
The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp - Rembrandt - Macca is the one to cut off Blankyās leg, surgery and anatomy is His Thing (and I know he enjoys it really)
The Vitruvian Man - Leonardo Da Vinci - See previous comments about it being The illustration and matching the other two
Winter Sea IV - Joan Eardley - She paints Kincardineshire (where McDonald was from) and itās both winter and a seascape itās perfect
Aesculapius, Apollo and Hippocrates - Unknown - All three of them are Ancient Greek figures related to medicine (two gods and Hippocrates. Well, Aesculapius started human and was later deified so) and I have a love of mythology so.
Three oncologists - Ken Currie - A Scottish painter, very unnerving, and very medical
The Garden of Death - Hugo Simberg - I donāt know it just fit Maccaās vibe
Henry Foster Collins:

Anxiety - Edvard Munch - Self explanatory
The dog - Francisco Goya - Heās barely keeping himself afloat the poor thing
HMS Erebus in the Ice, 1846 - FranƧois Musin - itās Erebus . It also unintentionally matches Goodsir
The Asylum Garden at Arles - Vincent Van Gogh - I think Henry needs a brief stay quite frankly (also itās Van Gogh again)
The Dream - Pablo Picasso - ālike a dream sirā. Thatās all
The Flame (Goddess of Fire) - Odilon Redon - Heās not the one that sets Carnivale on fire, but he is arguably the most affected by it
Shot Boy - Ken Currie - It looks like Henryās Soul when heās getting that eaten by Tuunbaq
Man Proposes, God Disposes - Edwin Landseer - If anyone deserves to have this painting itās him
Male Nude - William Etty - MUTTONCHOPS. Just needs to be beefier
Fall in the Foothills - W. Herbert Dunton - Bears!!! HFC is my favourite bear itās only right
Psychedelic Cat (I donāt know its real name) - Louis Wain - Henry gets high as a kite at the end, it feels fitting
John Bridgens:
The Death of Hyacint - Jan Cossiers - Apollo and Hyacinthus are Bridgensā and Peglarās Carnivale costumes, and Peglar has a different Apollo/Hyacinthus painting to match
Scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Titania and Bottom - Edwin Landseer - I just know that man loves Shakespeare. Also itās Landseer, which I hadnāt realised (Man Proposes, God Disposes bloke if that wasnāt clear already)
'Erebus' and 'Terror' in the Antarctic - John Wilson Carmichael - Wrong expedition, right ships, and itās got both ships for both Bridgens and Peglar
Queen Mabās Cave - JMW Turner - Again, this man 100% loves a Shakespeare play
The Kiss - Gustav Klimt - Itās romantic as anything, and it matches Peglar (them matching is A Theme, if that wasnāt obvious already)
Sunflowers - Vincent Van Gogh - Peglar has the Monet ones to match, pretty much
Apollo and the Muses (The Parnassus) (but just Apollo) - Michel Dorigny - Carnivale!!
Hermia and Lysander - John Simmons - Once again, Shakespeare. Also theyāre in love. And him and Peglar match again
Irises - Vincent Van Gogh - Him and Peglar match yet again, with two different Van Gogh irises (they also unintentionally match with Jirv. Whoops)
Waterlilies - Claude Monet - You guessed it, him and Peglar match with two different waterlily paintings
Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus - Gavin Hamilton - Greek mythology which both I and Bridgens love, and itās gay and sad. Very Bridglar. (Peglar has a different one again)
The Ninth Wave - Ivan Aivazovsky - Yeah heās back. Itās yummy again
Northern Gannet, Morus Bassanus - John James Audubon - him and Peglar were on the Gannet together (yes, they match again)
Princess Hyacinth - Alphonse Mucha - I love Mucha, and again, Carnivale
Black Backed Gull - Ken Currie - The bird Jopson sees when Peglar is dying behind him. Peglar and and Jopson match
'Erebus' and 'Terror' in the Antarctic - John Wilson Carmichael - Wrong expedition, right ships, and itās got both ships for both Bridgens and Peglar
Northern Gannet, Morus Bassanus - John James Audubon - him and Bridgens were on the Gannet together (yes, they match again)
Hermia and Lysander - John Simmons - theyāre in love and he matches with Bridgens, and I think heād like Shakespeare too
Sunflowers - Claude Monet - He matches with Bridgens, but not identical
The Kiss - Gustav Klimt - Itās so romantic and I love it, and it matches Bridgens
Waterlilies - Claude Monet - Once again, matching Bridgens but not identical, cause theyāre their own people
Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus - Nikolai Ge - Again, mythology and again gay and sad. Itās perfect
Irises - Vincent Van Gogh - Say it with me now, Peglar and Bridgens match
