Dude... "Personally, I have no idea how you can become a cannibal in just 12 days, but that's just me.". 🤨😡😫😵💫🫨🫢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮😨🤧🙁😡🤐🖕💥. Yeah, homie... That's just you. Also, that's all I needed to hear, but the way you say it with that smugness and naively flippant arrogance, the kind only afforded a far too comfortable, spoiled, disconnected, and embarrassingly inexperienced American soyboy... Have you ever skipped a meal?? 2 meals?? 2 day's worth of meals?? I'll wait... No?? Oh, really?? Dang, man, I would never have guessed... What about water then?? Have you ever worked your ass off doing something dusty, fast-paced, physically, cardiovascular intensive, exhausting, and non-stop from, say, 8 am go-time to, let's make it a short day so, ummmmm, let's say 7 pm and not only that, but had to do so without being afforded the supreme luxury and life saving simplicity of something as a nice, ice cold case of water?? Something to which someone such as yourself, the overly padded man child, would normally turn up your nose if it was anything lower in price and, to your perception, quality, as Voss or Perrier?? No? Seriously?? You mean to tell me I wouldn't find you out on the construction site humping hod, chucking brick tongs, mixing mortar, shouldering shingle packs up an extension ladder 3, 4 flights of steps to the roof?? Naaaaah.... Well, let me give you some inside baseball then... I have. I've also had the experience of sitting in the cafeteria in high school, a time when most kids are considered responsible if they remember all their books in the morning. Where kids are considered disciplined if they manage to have no missed days and no detention, I've sat in the cafeteria on Salisbury steak day watching everyone else get double trays, piled with all the fat cakes and sugar extras and, because of course, 2 chocolate milks, while I, lying to myself to convince myself that the soft boiled eggs and plain tuna straight from the can is the same as what I'm smelling. I've had to drop 15 pounds in 3 days to make weight or, you don't even want to know what or brings. I've also been so poor and hungry as a child I remember in around '92 riding in my father's work truck, a '76 Scottsdale which was such an old horse you could literally see the road through the floor, couldn't even sit near the door bc it doesn't shut well and if you put too much pressure on it you'll fall right out, and also, you don't even need a key bc the ignition is broken, this was before all his sacrifice and shame paid off by his company becoming successful, I remember being so damn hungry riding in that truck at 5 am every Sunday morning to go to the bread store because they'd throw out the shit they didn't sell that week and we'd gi dumpster dive for it but had to get there before either the employees came for work or the trash truck came to empty the dumpster. Most of the bread, bagels, plain rolls, etc were far too moldy to be ok for us to eat around it, but as long as there was just a little bit, just pinch that part off and continue. What we absolutely couldn't eat, we'd feed our chickens and ducks and rabbits because we didn't even have the money to buy proper animal feed. I knew better than to get attached to the animals though, let alone name them. Like a cute soft lil bunny, don't even think of calling him Bugs, for example, because come fall time, I'll be the one holding Bugs by his legs as my father jerks his skin off so we can make stew and gravy. Bad idea. So, pal, buddy, what I'm requesting, humbly, if I may be so bold, is that next time, before you go letting your bifurcated tongue slither out about a topic which may show your disgusting ignorance, perhaps consider the topic, huh?? Thanks. I thought I'd check out the channel, as a lover of art, especially the darkest vein, but somehow my stomach has gone sour on the video. What a pity. I might have liked your content. I guess we'll never know now...
One detail thats haunted me for years about "Saturn Devouring his Son" was that it was painted directly on Goyas walls. He lived alone for the most part, so when he died and people went to check his home, they had no idea what it looked like. They didnt have flashlights, so they went in with candles cause it was so dark. In the darkness, with only tiny flames to lead the way, they came face to face with all the terrifying things Goya had painted. Including Saturn. Just imagining what it was like to be one of those people makes me shudder.
A fact about Guernica: A tapestry version of it hangs in the headquarters of the United Nations. What makes this bitterly ironic is during a 2003 press conference that was arguing in favour for the Iraq war, it was covered up by a blue curtain.
What?! Dude the Cave of Hands has to be one of the most uplifting beautiful and wholesome pieces of art I've ever seen. Its thousands of humans who commune together in the past, present and future thru leaving a mark on the wall. Its one of my favorite pieces of art anyone has ever done. How is it scary?! It makes me wanna cry cuz its so beautiful. I don't get it lol
Makes perfect sense why it'd be scary-some might get the feeling of when they see bloody handprints in a horror film, the outlines of the hand silhouettes are ashy and black like the outlines of nuclear bomb victims, the abundance of them can be overwhelming, without the context I can see how people would find it uncomfortable or scary. I dont find it really scary but a bit uncomfortable-makes me feel weird thinking how long those prints have lasted and that the people who made them are gone forever
35:48 ik u probably left the painting unexplained for a suspenseful effect, but this painting does have a meaning behind it. It was made during the reign of Augusto Pinochet, the former president of Chile. He was a very brutal dictator that killed, tortured, and exiles anyone who spoke put against him or even opposed any of his opinions. It makes much more sense when you look at the history, you realize that Guayasmin is painting himself and how he (and so many others) forced themselves to be silent in fear of death.
Thank you for this. It deepens the impact of the piece although I must add that the artist did an absolutely amazing job of depicting fear and self censure.
The nightmare painting is about sleep paralysis. The weight on the woman’s chest is what some people who have suffered through sleep paralysis describe.
Plus it's an actual pun. It's a night-mare, as in a horse, which is why there's a horse there. A Marre is also a creature in mythology that causes the weighing sensation of sleep paralysis. It sits on the sleeping person's chest.
As someone who suffers from sleep paralysis this is an excellent description of it. It truelly is terrible I have it multiple times a week sometimes. Even though I know what it is each episode is still horrifying
there's also something called a ‘mare’ in nordic folklore who is probably the creature the painter depicted. the mare rode horses and she made them exhausted by the morning so that’s probably the connection to the horse as well
y’all got it wrong. basically the demon on the woman’s chest is called an incubus and they’re known for having sex with sleeping women. idk what the horse represents but the monster is an incubus and the woman is js a woman sleeping
if Caravaggio's Judith beheading Holofernes is disturbing... Then oh boyy Artemisia's version of Judith beheading Holofernes must be in this ice berg. Not only because of how realistic and savage the beheading looks compared to Caravaggio's version, the interpretation combined with Artemisia's personal story brings this piece so much depth, making the piece much more meaningful and quite disturbing.
exactly what i was thinking lol, i’m pretty sure that's the version the iceberg was referring to - the art history buff in me is crying out for more research
@@eversbrooks7162 ikr!! Caravaggio's is good! But Judith feels like a glass door being all daintly and fragile with how she is handling the knife. And the blood is also lokking tad bit unrealistic. It's like a painting shown in a fairytale. But Artemisia's? She gets into the nitty gritty postures of someone who is using her strength to cut through Holofernes throat and both the women are shown as badasses, the blood is shown seeping through the sheets, it's gory it's bloody, and feels like it is a actual portrait drawn during that moment. Yup pretty sure Artemisia's was the one in the iceberg.
I like both for different reasons. Gentilesci's version is more dynamic and Judith is really putting effort into the murder, but I find Holofernes' face in the Caravaggio version more effective. He looks like the blood vessels in his eyes are about to rupture.
Great video! Was slightly surprised to not see any paintings by Zdzisław Beksiński on the list, but you should check out his stuff if you're looking for more creepy art.
Giger Beksinski Hitler's painting Aleister Crowley Nicola Samori Xue Jiye De Es Schwertberger Bronislaw Linke George Bellows Cam De Leon Hell, even Jim Carey's paintings could be there. C'mon... There's so much missing.
The painting of David defeating goliath is a self portrait, it was painted and donated in order for him to escape the death penalty he was being threatened with. great video
The Cyclops is the most disturbing one on here for me, because it should be beautiful (the colours used, the lightness of the brushstrokes, the reclining nude, and even the cyclops isn't depicted as a grotesque monster with its human-like ears, and eye) BUT the uncanniness of it is undeniable. It's truly horrifying.
That cyclops painting is actually, dare I say, anatomically accurate. Most cases of cyclopia in animals result in a complete deletion of the nose and protruding lips. The only thing it’s really missing is a proboscis, a sort of fleshy tube above the eye common in cases of human cyclopia, that is basically the deformed remains of what would be the nose. Redon must of done his research, either reading through scientific papers or visiting cabinets of curiosities.
I suspect that the Rain Woman gives off that vibe of presence because it has the same form as the “Hat Man” archetype that comes from sleep paralysis and hallucinations. For some reason, hat man is deeply imbued into our psyche for some reason, so deep down when we invite a painting like Rain Woman into our house, even if at first unsuspecting with her mask-like face, the archetype is still there to unconsciously haunt us.
I'd also recommend the work of Yuko Tatsushima. She creates unnerving and gory illustrations mostly themed around sexual assault, mental illness, and the atomic bombing of Japan. Her most famous work translates to "I cannot be a bride anymore", you've likely seen it online before. I can't find a good source but it's often captioned as being a self-portrait after a sexual assault.
19:21 we just finished learning about this one in art history. The Medusa was a slave ship, and the ship didn’t have enough rafts for everyone. But they had just enough rafts for the captain and the crew. While the boat was sinking, the carpenter hastily made a makeshift raft for the 100+ slaves to float on. They were pretty much piled on top of a piece of floating debris. Each raft was linked together by rope, but the slave raft was slowing them down, so the captain decided to cut the rope on the slave’s raft, leaving them to float out and fend for themselves. That’s why they resorted to cannibalism. I think less than ten of those slaves survived? And the captain of the ship barely got much of a punishment, and people were furious about this. It was a really big news story at the time.
The Medusa was not a slave ship and was not carrying a large amount of slaves (I don’t want to say any slaves, but I didn’t see any mentioned in my reading). It was built during the Napoleonic wars (Napoleon actually banned the slave trade during his rule) as a frigate and then sent to Senegal on its last voyage- there was an illegal slave trade in Senegal, but this ship was sent to re-establish the colony; “On 17 June 1816, a convoy under the command of Hugues Duroy de Chaumareys on Méduse departed Rochefort accompanied by the storeship Loire, the brig Argus and the corvette Écho to receive the British handover of the port of Saint-Louis in Senegal. Méduse, armed en flûte, carried many passengers, including the appointed French governor of Senegal, Colonel Julien-Désiré Schmaltz, his wife Reine Schmaltz, and his secretary, Joseph Jean-Baptiste Alexandre Griffon du Bellay. Méduse's complement totaled 400, including 160 crew plus a contingent of marine infantrymen intended to serve as the garrison of Saint-Louis.” While it’s possible there were some slaves and/or people of color aboard it was not a slave ship engaging in the slave trade when it sank. The painting does feature a black man at the forefront, which is likely commentary on the controversial slave trade in the French colonies. A couple sources: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/209640 www.workingwaterfrontarchives.org/2008/03/01/the-wreck-of-the-medusathe-most-famous-sea-disaster-of-the-nineteenth-century/ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_frigate_Méduse_(1810) www.wondersandmarvels.com/2016/09/falling-off-the-raft-of-the-medusa.html Edit: it was specifically 146 men and one woman on the raft, only 15 of whom were found alive. The captain was sentenced to jail for 3 years and lost his navy title/position.
@@yellowbearanimations Just because he's a college art history professor doesn't mean he's infallible. Maybe he misremembered the history behind this piece (being an art history prof doesn't make him an expert on maritime history). Maybe the source he's working with is wrong, or he has a source that's so new the info isn't reflected in any of the sources I looked at- which, I basically went through the whole first page of google. Not saying that means I'm 100% right, just that the widely available info contradicts what your prof said (or maybe you misremembered?) Genuinely- if you could ask your prof and let me know a book/article/site/study that has different information I'd love to take a look myself! I think the painting, history, and artists' intention come across really differently depending on the situation so I'd be interested in learning if there's something I'm missing.
@@yellowbearanimations i also just learned about this in my art history and it wasn't a slave ship, it had some servants and maybe slaves that were put on that raft with the lower level crew members. The raft wasn't for slaves
I feel like I’m going crazy. Now I’m really starting to wonder if my art teacher really told us it was a slave ship or if my brain just made up that memory. Like, I tried to look up to see if it was a slave ship, but I haven’t found anything. Not even in my text book. What an odd detail
SO happy to see Francis Bacon getting recognition in a video like this. his work has always been some of my favorite for how disturbing and thought provoking they are
@@tobymdev yeah tbh I gotta agree with that. I expected much more obscure pieces but I knew nearly all of them... iceburg kinda sucked ngl. but still, the video was enjoyable
Also, going to morgues to look at human anatomy was and is a super common practice for artists looking to paint and study correct human anatomy. Michelangelo famously went to morgues to study anatomy and sketch figures. Having full reign and unrestricted view of the human body is a very useful way to study intimately with the motionless body in contrast to living, moving models or secondary drawings in books. Or maybe the artist was just obsessed with painting dismembered body parts because it looked cool. Either way awesome paintings
The Scream is such an iconic painting that I didn’t think I would be able to find anything disturbing about it, but that mummy is super creepy and the similarities to the painting definitely makes me look at it differently. I can only imagine Munch’s horror when he saw that for the first time.
19:35 If you consider that they were trapped with no food and no drinkable water it’s not really that surprising them resolving to cannibalism after only 12 days. Which is the time it took for them run out of water. Death by dehydration is a horrible way to go, adding the “group” element I’m surprised it didn’t took less time for them to think about the 5 liters of blood an average human adult body has. So yeah it was more the dehydration than hunger.
It's crazy how influential that urban legend about The Hands Resist Him is. Like to the point where I recently tried out Scratches: Directors Cut and was genuinely surprised to see the painting in the in-game house. The game came out about 6 years after the eBay listing.
In my town in Spain there is a square with copies of Goya's paintings in it, Saturn devouring his son is one of them and many straight up think that his "dark paintings" were made because in his last days he was getting crazier and crazier, the original dark paintings were painted in the walls and ceilings of his house
That's what I've heard and believe too. It's almost like he was trying to get hallucinated visions out of his head by making them "real". Or maybe that the paintings were his way of telling himself that he's a monster and unfit to live.
I'm honestly surprised that none of Steven Gammell's art from the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series made it to this list, for being in children's books the art is pretty surreal and nightmarish.
HOOOOOLY DUDE I LITERALLY JUST SPENT LIKE AN HOUR TRYING TO FIND I AND THE VILLAGE, I LITERALLY JUMPED WHEN IT POPPED UP. My parents used to have a massive print of it framed and hung up on the wall, and for some reason I was really enamored with it as a kid. For the longest time I didn’t have the same love of art that I do now, though, and since there wasn’t a title or anything on it, I had no idea what it was called so I couldn’t find it again. Thank you for indirectly solving this tiny mystery of mine!! It’s still one of my favorite paintings, and my weird conspiracy story of a meaning behind it has always been that the man with the scythe either murdered the woman he’s with, who is also the woman milking the cow, or somehow turned the woman into the large cow and that he’s also the green man. I have no idea why that was the story I decided it was about as like a ten year old, but it still has a really special place in my heart :)
10:42 i wish you'd included Artemisia Gentileschi's versions of Judith Beheading Holofernes as well as caravaggio's. hers are equally disturbing if not more :)
yess, i like her version so much more because of how much more realistic it is, judith is more actively involved in the beheading whereas in caravaggio's painting she is more beautiful, but seems uninterested or bored, like a doll instead of a real person
Just wanted to add that in Hell ( first tier), the giant monster at the bottom is most likely the literal mouth of hell It was commonly represented as a giant beast/ dragon like creature swallowing the damned
I got the chance to see "Saturn Devouring his Son" in person. Managed to see it in a empty room. Goya art gets WAY CREEPIER, when you are totally alone in a silent room with only your own mind and those canvases
for me the most disturbing series of artwork is the paintings by brian charnley, which are self portraits that show his deteriorating mental state due to schizophrenia
I was really hoping Frida Kahlo was in here, and she was! She is one of my favorite artists. She listed her paintings as realistic, and not surrealistic, which I thought was very neat.
dude as soon as that 'woman in black' painting popped up i got chills and they didnt go away until after the image left the screen. i havent reacted to a piece of art like that in a long time, creepy as heck
28:43 i find the movement and chaos to be creepy, also the scene that she sits in seems to be in multiple perspectives, which makes it even more obscure. The red rose on the heart, the demon face behind her, with her own face bearing resemblance of the demons.
New sub here. I would like to expand something, Witkin is also a photographer, and he works with human wonders and corpses, creating a pretty unique form of art, even scratching and painting over the negatives. that's amazing.
I’m surprised that Francis Bacon’s “Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion” was not included. That piece is so effing creepy both visually and metaphorically.
True story: I learned about the Judith and Holofernes painting in an Art class in college...and I passed out due to the blood. No joke. I remember my mind going fuzzy, my vision blurring, and then waking up in the floor surrounded by confused students and one very concerned professor. They had to call the ambulance and everything lol. That was about five years ago, and I'm now able to look at it without passing out. But I still hate it lol.
This is an awesome video! Super informative and just the right amount of scary! Since people who watch this video are probably interested in interesting art facts, I want to share one I learned from my AP art history class haha. Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? by Paul Gauguin is another painting that I find pretty disturbing. Despite the bright colors, the story is fairly dark. The painting shows a progression through life starting with birth and ending with death. Many historians believe that the piece was originally meant to be a suicide note, however, the artist didn't end up committing. It is also believed that the work has a connection to the emotions he felt over the death of his daughter. I think the piece is beautiful but it definitely feels haunted by grief and sadness. (Loosely related fun fact! Gauguin worked a lot with Vincent Van Gogh and some people believe that he was tied to the loss of Van Gogh's ear.)
I was expecting some like obscure paintings but most of this is stuff that is usually taught in schools Still a good video cuz u are introducing people to some really great artists and it's well made
Thank you for the presentation. I learned of many new pieces, that i didn’t know of before. It made me very happy and yet surprised to see Marc Chagalls work on here! I never really thought of his paintings as disturbing, but perhaps the one showcased here has a history that might warrant it such a title, of “disturbing”. I do recommend checking out more of his works. I enjoy the way he draws faces, especially… his compositions… the colors are always interesting, too. Have a good day!
Hi, comment section! Keen for more? Here are some suggestions: . The Baboon in Love - Dado . Diomedes Devoured by His Horses - Gustave Moreau . Isenheim Altarpiece - Nikolaus of Haguenau and Matthias Grünewald . Decapitated Head Hung by the Hair - Jose Casado del Alisal . various - Peter Feiler (definitely NSFW/L) . The Bell of Huesca - Jose Casado . The Head of Orpheus Floating Down the River Hebrus to the Sea - Kahlil Gibran . Massacre of the Innocents - Peter Paul Rubens . Susanna and the Elders - Artemisia Gentilesci (this one is disturbing when you see the x-rayed version, where earlier drafts showed Susanna much more upset to the rape about to occur) . various - Aleksandra Waliszewska . Temptation of St. Anthony - Joos van Craesbeeck . Zacatecas Landscape with Hanged Men - Francisco Goitia . Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb - Hans Holbein the Younger . Les Mortes - Gustav-Adolf Mossa . various - Naoki Sasayama . Cannibals - Odd Nerdrum
Bro don't worry about your schedule, it doesn't matter if you don't upload regularly if when you do you drop som lenghty master pieces like this, also RUclips shouldn't get in your personal life's way
I just want to say I just found your page I love your voice your tone, great video you deserve so much more subscribers I will let my friends and family know! Just subscribed thanks again for this video great job! I can’t wait to see more I love icebergs!
Just letting you know, the Medusa by Caravaggio is so ‘’shocking’ for most because of his background, he was meant to die by beheading due to having murdered someone and fled, that’s why a lot of his paintings have decapitated heads and even one with his own head decapitated (one od them being the Medusa’s)
There is a hidden siloutte in the "Drowning Dog" to whom the dog is looking at. Antonio Garcia Villaran has a video about how experts found it using X-rays. I think you should check it 'cause it may add more data to a further interpretation of the picture. Also the spot at which the picture is might change in the iceberg.
The creator of ''The hands resist him'' actually knew that people felt uneasy with his painting so he created another piece of the same picture, but from the inside behind the boy instead.
Great video! Really enjoyed the inclusion of Currie’s work, although imo I believe his works Hiroshima Smile and Krankenhaus both belong on this list as well. Super interesting nonetheless :)
9:51 I immediately recognized this as the album cover for Deathconsciousness by Have a Nice Life, an album famous for being one of the most depressing albums of all time. Although I had a feeling that the painting on the cover was likely an interesting work in its own right, I never knew what it or its backstory was until now thanks to this video. Good to know it's just as depressing as the album
I thought I was gonna get some stuff explained but I just saw a really long video of someones opinion on a list of art pieces from disturbing to more disturbing. :( If you ask me none are disturbing.
22:54 Ivan killed his son because his son protested his father’s abuse of his bride. She apparently moved between rooms half-dressed and he began beating her. She was pregnant. His son was horrified, and that’s what set Ivan off.
This is basically a perfect iceberg. It had a lot of good info about the subject matter, and it was genuinely kinda creepy. Also, your narration is really really good.
"Lágrimas de Sangre" 35:45 was painted after the instauration of the dictatorship of Chile in the 70s, the author wanted to represent the anguish and the silent dispair of the oppressed.
30:30 When you mentioned WWII my first thought would be Neville Chamberlain as one of the things that he was know for was always carrying a black umbrella.
Pretty low effort video, to be honest. When I watch an iceberg video, I would expect the person to actually have done research on each item on the list and explain it in detail. But with most pieces here, you only ever gave surface level information, even if there's much more to say about it. You can't just show each picture for a minute and sorely comment that "it indeed looks disturbing", when the point of that iceberg is that most of these paintings either have a disturbing history or that they've been interpreted to have a disturbing meaning. And if you're not even into interpreting the meaning of art - which you have explicitly stated - why even bother to make a whole video about paintings? You're obviously not even interested in the topic. This video is honestly being carried by people in the comments, offering all the information that you failed to include. How pointless.
Painting by francis bacon is actually my favorite painting and has been since i saw it at MOMA a couple years ago- the man is a british prime minister, i forgot his name, but he was extremely controversial, and indirectly ended up supporting hitler. The three window shades in the back represent hitler’s bunker, and the floor is actually what might have been bacon’s floor of his art studio.
Wish there was some Zdzisław Beksiński on this iceberg? You're in luck! ruclips.net/video/C1-J3wyo6WY/видео.html
sad you didn't have him in the real video, maybe cause he's my favourite and his placement on the list would seem like an extension of my own placement. up the mcgregor s

Its thousands of humans who commune together in the past, present and future thru leaving a mark on the wall. Its one of my favorite pieces of art anyone has ever done. How is it scary?! It makes me wanna cry cuz its so beautiful. I don't get it lol
I agree 100%. I fucking feel it too my dude.
Exactly
Makes perfect sense why it'd be scary-some might get the feeling of when they see bloody handprints in a horror film, the outlines of the hand silhouettes are ashy and black like the outlines of nuclear bomb victims, the abundance of them can be overwhelming, without the context I can see how people would find it uncomfortable or scary. I dont find it really scary but a bit uncomfortable-makes me feel weird thinking how long those prints have lasted and that the people who made them are gone forever
Also I guess "the crudes" took inspiration from this piece, very cool
Agreed, it was at that moment i closed the video and blocked this channel.
35:48 ik u probably left the painting unexplained for a suspenseful effect, but this painting does have a meaning behind it. It was made during the reign of Augusto Pinochet, the former president of Chile. He was a very brutal dictator that killed, tortured, and exiles anyone who spoke put against him or even opposed any of his opinions. It makes much more sense when you look at the history, you realize that Guayasmin is painting himself and how he (and so many others) forced themselves to be silent in fear of death.
Thank you for this. It deepens the impact of the piece although I must add that the artist did an absolutely amazing job of depicting fear and self censure.
The nightmare painting is about sleep paralysis. The weight on the woman’s chest is what some people who have suffered through sleep paralysis describe.
Plus it's an actual pun. It's a night-mare, as in a horse, which is why there's a horse there. A Marre is also a creature in mythology that causes the weighing sensation of sleep paralysis. It sits on the sleeping person's chest.
As someone who suffers from sleep paralysis this is an excellent description of it. It truelly is terrible I have it multiple times a week sometimes. Even though I know what it is each episode is still horrifying
there's also something called a ‘mare’ in nordic folklore who is probably the creature the painter depicted. the mare rode horses and she made them exhausted by the morning so that’s probably the connection to the horse as well
y’all got it wrong. basically the demon on the woman’s chest is called an incubus and they’re known for having sex with sleeping women. idk what the horse represents but the monster is an incubus and the woman is js a woman sleeping
if Caravaggio's Judith beheading Holofernes is disturbing... Then oh boyy Artemisia's version of Judith beheading Holofernes must be in this ice berg. Not only because of how realistic and savage the beheading looks compared to Caravaggio's version, the interpretation combined with Artemisia's personal story brings this piece so much depth, making the piece much more meaningful and quite disturbing.
exactly what i was thinking lol, i’m pretty sure that's the version the iceberg was referring to - the art history buff in me is crying out for more research
@@eversbrooks7162 ikr!! Caravaggio's is good! But Judith feels like a glass door being all daintly and fragile with how she is handling the knife. And the blood is also lokking tad bit unrealistic. It's like a painting shown in a fairytale. But Artemisia's? She gets into the nitty gritty postures of someone who is using her strength to cut through Holofernes throat and both the women are shown as badasses, the blood is shown seeping through the sheets, it's gory it's bloody, and feels like it is a actual portrait drawn during that moment. Yup pretty sure Artemisia's was the one in the iceberg.
@@rubyred186 and also keep in mind that she was so captured by it that she maden several version
Caravaggios Judith is like “Ewww this mans stankyy” while Artemisias Judith is like “Oh HELL yeah FUCK him up”
I like both for different reasons. Gentilesci's version is more dynamic and Judith is really putting effort into the murder, but I find Holofernes' face in the Caravaggio version more effective. He looks like the blood vessels in his eyes are about to rupture.
"Saturn devouring his son" and "Ivan the Terrible and his son Ivan" scared the crap out of me when I saw them in some art encyclopedia as child.
The fact there there's more than one painting of Saturn devouring his children is worrisome.
@@MySerpentineIt’s a famous Greek myth… I’m not surprised
@@lysfranc8782 But most of the really horrifying ones don't get art made of them.

Great video! Was slightly surprised to not see any paintings by Zdzisław Beksiński on the list, but you should check out his stuff if you're looking for more creepy art.
i agree
i was going to comment that too! i made my high school thesis based on his work and it was such am interesting trip into the mind of a traumatized man
and he had such a sad life too. :(

Hell, even Jim Carey's paintings could be there.
C'mon... There's so much missing.
my thoughts exactly, hes my fave artist
The painting of David defeating goliath is a self portrait, it was painted and donated in order for him to escape the death penalty he was being threatened with. great video
Caravaggio wasn't the best person was he. Definitely a great artist though
@@inksoldier5544what did he do
@@wormwoodcocktail was a drunko rowdy who killed a man
Really appreciate you not adding any creepy music to make the video seem more scary.
The Cyclops is the most disturbing one on here for me, because it should be beautiful (the colours used, the lightness of the brushstrokes, the reclining nude, and even the cyclops isn't depicted as a grotesque monster with its human-like ears, and eye) BUT the uncanniness of it is undeniable. It's truly horrifying.
Nothing grinds my gears like a iceberg chart video that doesnt explain the contents.
That cyclops painting is actually, dare I say, anatomically accurate. Most cases of cyclopia in animals result in a complete deletion of the nose and protruding lips. The only thing it’s really missing is a proboscis, a sort of fleshy tube above the eye common in cases of human cyclopia, that is basically the deformed remains of what would be the nose. Redon must of done his research, either reading through scientific papers or visiting cabinets of curiosities.
Time stamp?
@@ElazarY 26:55
I suspect that the Rain Woman gives off that vibe of presence because it has the same form as the “Hat Man” archetype that comes from sleep paralysis and hallucinations. For some reason, hat man is deeply imbued into our psyche for some reason, so deep down when we invite a painting like Rain Woman into our house, even if at first unsuspecting with her mask-like face, the archetype is still there to unconsciously haunt us.
I get freaked out just looking at that painting. It makes me feel very afraid.
I'd also recommend the work of Yuko Tatsushima. She creates unnerving and gory illustrations mostly themed around sexual assault, mental illness, and the atomic bombing of Japan. Her most famous work translates to "I cannot be a bride anymore", you've likely seen it online before. I can't find a good source but it's often captioned as being a self-portrait after a sexual assault.
im so surprised to not have found a single Beksinski painting, as he is the epitome of nightmare representation in art
19:21 we just finished learning about this one in art history. The Medusa was a slave ship, and the ship didn’t have enough rafts for everyone. But they had just enough rafts for the captain and the crew. While the boat was sinking, the carpenter hastily made a makeshift raft for the 100+ slaves to float on. They were pretty much piled on top of a piece of floating debris. Each raft was linked together by rope, but the slave raft was slowing them down, so the captain decided to cut the rope on the slave’s raft, leaving them to float out and fend for themselves. That’s why they resorted to cannibalism. I think less than ten of those slaves survived? And the captain of the ship barely got much of a punishment, and people were furious about this. It was a really big news story at the time.
The Medusa was not a slave ship and was not carrying a large amount of slaves (I don’t want to say any slaves, but I didn’t see any mentioned in my reading). It was built during the Napoleonic wars (Napoleon actually banned the slave trade during his rule) as a frigate and then sent to Senegal on its last voyage- there was an illegal slave trade in Senegal, but this ship was sent to re-establish the colony;
“On 17 June 1816, a convoy under the command of Hugues Duroy de Chaumareys on Méduse departed Rochefort accompanied by the storeship Loire, the brig Argus and the corvette Écho to receive the British handover of the port of Saint-Louis in Senegal. Méduse, armed en flûte, carried many passengers, including the appointed French governor of Senegal, Colonel Julien-Désiré Schmaltz, his wife Reine Schmaltz, and his secretary, Joseph Jean-Baptiste Alexandre Griffon du Bellay. Méduse's complement totaled 400, including 160 crew plus a contingent of marine infantrymen intended to serve as the garrison of Saint-Louis.”
While it’s possible there were some slaves and/or people of color aboard it was not a slave ship engaging in the slave trade when it sank.
The painting does feature a black man at the forefront, which is likely commentary on the controversial slave trade in the French colonies.

Edit: it was specifically 146 men and one woman on the raft, only 15 of whom were found alive. The captain was sentenced to jail for 3 years and lost his navy title/position.
@@LilyLewis771 are you telling me that my college art history professor was wrong about his lecture?
@@yellowbearanimations Just because he's a college art history professor doesn't mean he's infallible.
Maybe he misremembered the history behind this piece (being an art history prof doesn't make him an expert on maritime history). Maybe the source he's working with is wrong, or he has a source that's so new the info isn't reflected in any of the sources I looked at- which, I basically went through the whole first page of google. Not saying that means I'm 100% right, just that the widely available info contradicts what your prof said (or maybe you misremembered?)
Genuinely- if you could ask your prof and let me know a book/article/site/study that has different information I'd love to take a look myself! I think the painting, history, and artists' intention come across really differently depending on the situation so I'd be interested in learning if there's something I'm missing.
@@yellowbearanimations i also just learned about this in my art history and it wasn't a slave ship, it had some servants and maybe slaves that were put on that raft with the lower level crew members. The raft wasn't for slaves
I feel like I’m going crazy. Now I’m really starting to wonder if my art teacher really told us it was a slave ship or if my brain just made up that memory. Like, I tried to look up to see if it was a slave ship, but I haven’t found anything. Not even in my text book. What an odd detail
SO happy to see Francis Bacon getting recognition in a video like this. his work has always been some of my favorite for how disturbing and thought provoking they are
omg did you draw your pfp? the colours are so cool :0
@@zeropr0ductions631 oh haha yeah I did, I think it was back in 2021. thank you so much!
nice pfp you got an ig or twt where you show your art
francis bacon is an artist of huge recognition, are you implying he is somewhat unknown? This whole iceberg is normie-tier as hell
@@tobymdev yeah tbh I gotta agree with that. I expected much more obscure pieces but I knew nearly all of them... iceburg kinda sucked ngl. but still, the video was enjoyable
Also, going to morgues to look at human anatomy was and is a super common practice for artists looking to paint and study correct human anatomy. Michelangelo famously went to morgues to study anatomy and sketch figures. Having full reign and unrestricted view of the human body is a very useful way to study intimately with the motionless body in contrast to living, moving models or secondary drawings in books. Or maybe the artist was just obsessed with painting dismembered body parts because it looked cool. Either way awesome paintings
Truly one of the icebergs ever
One of what?
YAASS OMG!!! it truly is one of the icebergs 🤗 it's so iceberg YAAASSS🤗
I'm just messing with you lol
@@glassybiscuit7909 -_-
@@InsaneLadXIVMk2 0_0
It really is one of the icebergs ever 🥲
The Scream is such an iconic painting that I didn’t think I would be able to find anything disturbing about it, but that mummy is super creepy and the similarities to the painting definitely makes me look at it differently. I can only imagine Munch’s horror when he saw that for the first time.
this iceberg almost gets less disturbing as it goes down
19:35 If you consider that they were trapped with no food and no drinkable water it’s not really that surprising them resolving to cannibalism after only 12 days. Which is the time it took for them run out of water. Death by dehydration is a horrible way to go, adding the “group” element I’m surprised it didn’t took less time for them to think about the 5 liters of blood an average human adult body has. So yeah it was more the dehydration than hunger.
It's crazy how influential that urban legend about The Hands Resist Him is. Like to the point where I recently tried out Scratches: Directors Cut and was genuinely surprised to see the painting in the in-game house. The game came out about 6 years after the eBay listing.
In my town in Spain there is a square with copies of Goya's paintings in it, Saturn devouring his son is one of them and many straight up think that his "dark paintings" were made because in his last days he was getting crazier and crazier, the original dark paintings were painted in the walls and ceilings of his house
That's what I've heard and believe too. It's almost like he was trying to get hallucinated visions out of his head by making them "real". Or maybe that the paintings were his way of telling himself that he's a monster and unfit to live.
I'm honestly surprised that none of Steven Gammell's art from the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series made it to this list, for being in children's books the art is pretty surreal and nightmarish.
Yeah, I remember one image that stuck with me from the story “the red spot”
Well made video! But you could hade made a little more research on why many of the painting truly are so terrifying. Keep up the good work! ❤️
HOOOOOLY DUDE I LITERALLY JUST SPENT LIKE AN HOUR TRYING TO FIND I AND THE VILLAGE, I LITERALLY JUMPED WHEN IT POPPED UP. My parents used to have a massive print of it framed and hung up on the wall, and for some reason I was really enamored with it as a kid. For the longest time I didn’t have the same love of art that I do now, though, and since there wasn’t a title or anything on it, I had no idea what it was called so I couldn’t find it again. Thank you for indirectly solving this tiny mystery of mine!! It’s still one of my favorite paintings, and my weird conspiracy story of a meaning behind it has always been that the man with the scythe either murdered the woman he’s with, who is also the woman milking the cow, or somehow turned the woman into the large cow and that he’s also the green man. I have no idea why that was the story I decided it was about as like a ten year old, but it still has a really special place in my heart :)
‘I and the Village’ is an absolute comfort piece for me, surprised to see it so deep on the list
I want to say thank you. Thank you for the music and the artistic view on the iceberg instead of making a "spooky" edge lord attempt.
Joel peter witkin actually worked with photography mostly, and the images shown of his were photos, using actual human body parts!
Photography is still art :)
@@HarryStikers Yes of course, but he referred to his work as "paintings" in the video
10:42 i wish you'd included Artemisia Gentileschi's versions of Judith Beheading Holofernes as well as caravaggio's. hers are equally disturbing if not more :)
yess, i like her version so much more because of how much more realistic it is, judith is more actively involved in the beheading whereas in caravaggio's painting she is more beautiful, but seems uninterested or bored, like a doll instead of a real person
Just wanted to add that in Hell ( first tier), the giant monster at the bottom is most likely the literal mouth of hell
It was commonly represented as a giant beast/ dragon like creature swallowing the damned
10:39 I think that was supposed to be about Artemisia Gentileschi's picture of Judith Beheading Holofernes
I got the chance to see "Saturn Devouring his Son" in person. Managed to see it in a empty room. Goya art gets WAY CREEPIER, when you are totally alone in a silent room with only your own mind and those canvases
how lucky !!!
“the disturbing yet fascinating and humanistic take on david here is quite fascinating”
how fascinating
for me the most disturbing series of artwork is the paintings by brian charnley, which are self portraits that show his deteriorating mental state due to schizophrenia
Then be committed unalive after the last piece was “finished”
I was really hoping Frida Kahlo was in here, and she was! She is one of my favorite artists. She listed her paintings as realistic, and not surrealistic, which I thought was very neat.
dude as soon as that 'woman in black' painting popped up i got chills and they didnt go away until after the image left the screen. i havent reacted to a piece of art like that in a long time, creepy as heck
when does he shiw the wiman in black?
You mean the rain woman?
28:43 i find the movement and chaos to be creepy, also the scene that she sits in seems to be in multiple perspectives, which makes it even more obscure. The red rose on the heart, the demon face behind her, with her own face bearing resemblance of the demons.
i know it's on the highest tier but the anguished man painting just troubles me. i remember i had a nightmare about it once.
Worth mentioning the Medusa painting by Da Vinci is lost and the one shown here is a copy. How accurate it is is unknown.
New sub here. I would like to expand something, Witkin is also a photographer, and he works with human wonders and corpses, creating a pretty unique form of art, even scratching and painting over the negatives. that's amazing.
My grandparents had a copy of "The Hands Resist Him" hanging on the wall in their bathroom.
The fact that the death of marat is a perfect cover for Deathconsciousness makes it feel even more depressing
I’m surprised that Francis Bacon’s “Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion” was not included. That piece is so effing creepy both visually and metaphorically.
True story: I learned about the Judith and Holofernes painting in an Art class in college...and I passed out due to the blood. No joke. I remember my mind going fuzzy, my vision blurring, and then waking up in the floor surrounded by confused students and one very concerned professor. They had to call the ambulance and everything lol.
That was about five years ago, and I'm now able to look at it without passing out. But I still hate it lol.
LOL
Puuuuuuuuussssyyyyyyy 😂
This is an awesome video! Super informative and just the right amount of scary!
Since people who watch this video are probably interested in interesting art facts, I want to share one I learned from my AP art history class haha.
Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? by Paul Gauguin is another painting that I find pretty disturbing. Despite the bright colors, the story is fairly dark. The painting shows a progression through life starting with birth and ending with death. Many historians believe that the piece was originally meant to be a suicide note, however, the artist didn't end up committing. It is also believed that the work has a connection to the emotions he felt over the death of his daughter.
I think the piece is beautiful but it definitely feels haunted by grief and sadness.
(Loosely related fun fact! Gauguin worked a lot with Vincent Van Gogh and some people believe that he was tied to the loss of Van Gogh's ear.)
Regarding David Beheading Goliath from Caravaggio: It appears the severed head belongs to caravaggio himself, so he painted himself being decapitated
Dante and Virgil is literally just classic gay porn. You can’t convince me otherwise.
Lmao thought that too
@@thesauce0 Same, I thought they were kissing at first in the picture shown in the video. lol
Joel Peter Witkin is not a painter, he is photographer. His brother Jerome is the painter and his work is not as disturbing but really good.
Rain woman was the first one that actually disturbed me
I was expecting some like obscure paintings but most of this is stuff that is usually taught in schools
Still a good video cuz u are introducing people to some really great artists and it's well made
I've also heard that the Ugly Duchess is a mocking caricature of a crossdressing man.
I have seen the Saturn devouring his son painting
Everybody has…
Somehow the anguished man and rain woman are still the pieces that terrify me the most
The rain woman is horrifying, I hate looking at it.
Thank you for the presentation. I learned of many new pieces, that i didn’t know of before. It made me very happy and yet surprised to see Marc Chagalls work on here! I never really thought of his paintings as disturbing, but perhaps the one showcased here has a history that might warrant it such a title, of “disturbing”. I do recommend checking out more of his works. I enjoy the way he draws faces, especially… his compositions… the colors are always interesting, too. Have a good day!
As someone with an art history degree I love seeing video like this !! (Though a part of me died each time a name was mispronounced🙃)
He did warn us about it but "Titan" hurt me to my core. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I saw Girl with Death Mask as a child, and it gave me a large amount of chills. Its truly one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.
This is both the iceberg I wanted and needed

I just want to say I just found your page I love your voice your tone, great video you deserve so much more subscribers I will let my friends and family know! Just subscribed thanks again for this video great job! I can’t wait to see more I love icebergs!
Just letting you know, the Medusa by Caravaggio is so ‘’shocking’ for most because of his background, he was meant to die by beheading due to having murdered someone and fled, that’s why a lot of his paintings have decapitated heads and even one with his own head decapitated (one od them being the Medusa’s)
16:49 Bacon: "You have already lost Velàquez, for I have portrayed you as the soyjak and me as the Chad."
There is a hidden siloutte in the "Drowning Dog" to whom the dog is looking at. Antonio Garcia Villaran has a video about how experts found it using X-rays. I think you should check it 'cause it may add more data to a further interpretation of the picture. Also the spot at which the picture is might change in the iceberg.
Damn. Didn't know DMC fan art went as far back as 1850
the ivan the terrible one makes me cry just looking at it. the regret in his eyes just hurts my soul i don’t know why
The rain woman one @ 21:24 is pretty cool.
26:57 looks so funny to me
21:15 i love that black manta is just there
The creator of ''The hands resist him'' actually knew that people felt uneasy with his painting so he created another piece of the same picture, but from the inside behind the boy instead.
Still can’t stand to look at Saturn eating his son. Just seeing it always sends me into a panic.
Great video! Really enjoyed the inclusion of Currie’s work, although imo I believe his works Hiroshima Smile and Krankenhaus both belong on this list as well. Super interesting nonetheless :)
I'm surprised the garden of earthly delights is not on here
Lágrimas de Sangre literally means “tears of blood”.. idk if that clarifies or confuses it more, but ya that figure is definitely crying blood
9:51 I immediately recognized this as the album cover for Deathconsciousness by Have a Nice Life, an album famous for being one of the most depressing albums of all time. Although I had a feeling that the painting on the cover was likely an interesting work in its own right, I never knew what it or its backstory was until now thanks to this video. Good to know it's just as depressing as the album
I thought I was gonna get some stuff explained but I just saw a really long video of someones opinion on a list of art pieces from disturbing to more disturbing. :( If you ask me none are disturbing.
very chill video. Love your voice!
22:54 Ivan killed his son because his son protested his father’s abuse of his bride. She apparently moved between rooms half-dressed and he began beating her. She was pregnant. His son was horrified, and that’s what set Ivan off.
This is basically a perfect iceberg. It had a lot of good info about the subject matter, and it was genuinely kinda creepy. Also, your narration is really really good.
"Lágrimas de Sangre" 35:45 was painted after the instauration of the dictatorship of Chile in the 70s, the author wanted to represent the anguish and the silent dispair of the oppressed.
Perfect to watch before bed 🫶
Good video, but it hurt to hear him mispronounce almost every name ("Titan"?)
He also mispronounced "triptych" and "Guernica" which frustrated me
He completely butchered Velázquez, i mean come on its not that hard its even a common name nowadays how did he say it so poorly
2:30 "The location was nearby to both a slaughterhouse and an asylum, and Munch's sister was actually hospitalized in one"
So. Which one?
The artist behind Lágrimas de Sangre is Oswaldo Guayasamín, ecuadorian painter. Thought that was important to mention.
ah , sweet man made horrors beyond my comprehension
"and these feelings might even be shared by those who simply look at the piece" 😀 gee thank you
30:30 When you mentioned WWII my first thought would be Neville Chamberlain as one of the things that he was know for was always carrying a black umbrella.
I´m surprised not to see the work of Yuko Tatsushima on this list :(
0:41 Hmmm 🤔 I never knew there was a general expectation for art to be uplifting and happy. Maybe because I’m naturally drawn toward the dark side.
Becon: "Wow I REALLY want to paint something using purple..."
People of the future: "What did the artist mean?!?!!!?!"
I wish this was longer tbh
Pretty low effort video, to be honest.
When I watch an iceberg video, I would expect the person to actually have done research on each item on the list and explain it in detail.
But with most pieces here, you only ever gave surface level information, even if there's much more to say about it.
You can't just show each picture for a minute and sorely comment that "it indeed looks disturbing", when the point of that iceberg is that most of these paintings either have a disturbing history or that they've been interpreted to have a disturbing meaning.
And if you're not even into interpreting the meaning of art - which you have explicitly stated - why even bother to make a whole video about paintings? You're obviously not even interested in the topic.
This video is honestly being carried by people in the comments, offering all the information that you failed to include.
How pointless.
Painting by francis bacon is actually my favorite painting and has been since i saw it at MOMA a couple years ago- the man is a british prime minister, i forgot his name, but he was extremely controversial, and indirectly ended up supporting hitler. The three window shades in the back represent hitler’s bunker, and the floor is actually what might have been bacon’s floor of his art studio.
The background music is just right
