It was drawn by Mœbius (a.k.a. Jean Giraud). For future reference, reverse image searches (e.g. Google Images, TinEye) are great for shit like this. I've never even heard of this guy and it took me like 10 seconds to find. In some browsers you can just right click / long press an image and you'll get an option to do an image search right in the popup menu.

A lot of beautiful art in this thread. Some classic, some bizarre, some very cool but as with all art, it's beauty or meaning is different to everyone that beholds it. I have a collection of this guy's art. Some of it tortured soul, some of it hilarious. His name is DX. He does a lot of sculpture wood/stone carvings, too.

British architect Francis Terry's proposal for the Lambreth Palace Library which holds the Church of England's records and the Archbishop of Canterbury's books.

Sadly, some awful brick cube monstrosity was chosen instead.

I have found them just a few days ago, but I feel like there's something... really great about their art.

That's from Jean Giraud aka Moebius. It's an “Illustration for the 1982 animated sci-fi movie 'Les Maîtres du temps' (English title: Time Masters).

I love this painting by Ilya Repin because of the horror it shows on the Tsar's face.

Spoiler: "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on 16 November 1581"

This painting by Édouard Detaille portrays a camp of sleeping soldiers with their predecessors riding in glory in the clouds above them.

Here's a painting by Albrecht Dürer depicting Orpheus,of Greek mythology fame, being beaten to death by two women for introducing pederasty to Thrace.

According to some versions of the Orpheus myth, he couldn't bear to be with another woman after he failed to bring Eurydice back to life, and so turned to little boys. Thus, according to that myth, he started the Ancient Greek tradition of pederasty. The women of Thrace grew jealous and tore him to pieces during a bacchanal.

The ribbon above Orpheus says "Orfeus der erst puseran" (Orpheus, the first pederast).

Well seeing as how Zdzisław Beksiński has been mentioned a few times I'll defer to R. S. Connett. Found his stuff loooong ago back in the early 90s back when he was hosting his work on his site Vomitus, now called Grotesque.
