Certain works of art are so classic that they've become iconic. As such, they are frequently exploited for symbolic or comedic effect. Many classic paintings and sculptures have found their way into popular media. So frequently are these images exploited that people who may have never seen the original works still recognize the images. The broader trope is Stock Shout-Out, which covers similar items from pop culture rather than fine art. Compare Truth in Television and Life Imitates Art, where this inspirational transition is made beyond the fourth wall. Not to be confused with the simple fact that artists imitate other artists.

The Autobiography of Jane Eyre: Adele, coached by Jane, drew several pictures based on famous paintings and art styles in episode 5. They included Pablo Picasso, Gustav Klimt, and Vincent van Gogh (one picture reminded a bit of his The Starry Night). Adele's last picture was inspired by The Son Of Man by René Magritte (a face obscured by an apple). | |

One scene in Italian horror movie The Church (La Chiesa, 1989, written by Dario Argento and directed by Michele Soavi) is taken directly from a Boris Vallejo painting "Vampire's Kiss". Also, the design for the lizard-demon-gargoyle creature is taken from an infamous 1600s wood-carving depicting a man selling his soul to the devil. | |

Tales of Monkey Island In "Chapter 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal", there is a Desingeograph of the "Vitruvian Pirate", which Guybrush calls "Pirate Da Vinci", on the Illuminopictoscreen; this "Vitruvian Pirate" is definitely a spoof of Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci. In Chapter 4, the provocative painting of Chieftain Beluga hanging above W.P. Grindstump in Club 41 is most likely a parody of the 1636 painting Danaë by Rembrandt van Rijn. |

The one that gets her a nasty homophobic insult from a classmate is a Burlesque of Venus with Pinky as Venus in a grubby apartment standing on a mattress.

The Simpsons: In "The Crepes of Wrath" Bart and his chauffeur pass through landscapes which are all references to famous paintings made in France, including works by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Rousseau and Édouard Manet. In "The Last Temptation of Homer" The Birth of Venus◊ by Sandro Botticelli was referenced when Homer is fantasizing about Mindy. In "Bart Gets Hit by a Car" Bart goes to Hell, where he sees Hieronymus Bosch's "The Garden Of Earthly Delights" recreated. In "Treehouse Of Horror IV", in a parody of Night Gallery several famous paintings by René Magritte, M.C. Escher, Salvador DalÃ, Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Giorgione, Jacques-Louis David, and Pablo Picasso are parodied. Even "Dogs Playing Poker" by Cassius Marsellus Coolidge is featured. Homer's dream sequence in "Mom and Pop Art" is also a Shout-Out to several famous paintings (Henri Rousseau, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Leonardo da Vinci). Homer's drive-in movie visit, complete with passing steam locomotive, in "Dumbbell Indemnity" is based on the iconic 1950's O. Winston Link photograph "Hotshot Eastbound". In "Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples, Teens and Gays", Milhouse sports the same expression as the "weeping Frenchman" from the famous 1940 photograph taken during the Nazi occupation of France. In "The Man Who Came to Be Dinner", there is a poster in Diz-Nee Land for Song of the South Bronx, a mix between the movie poster for Song of the South and the 1964 photograph "Macombs Rd., Bronx". |

The cover of Adventure Comics #247: The Legion of Super-Heroes!, portraying the three founders of the team behind a desk with name tags judging Superboy as unworthy of their "super-hero club" gets homaged occasionally: The cover of Superman (1939) #147 revisits the theme with the Legion characters replaced by their evil counterparts. The cover of Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 4 #88 sees the trio—Lighting Lad replaced by his sister—trying to reject Impulse but finding their buttons aren't working while Imp holds sparking wires behind his back. The cover of Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 5 #48 depicts most of the Legion behind tiered desks with name tags watching tryouts for the club. The cover of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #29 painted by Alex Ross features the same characters as the original but in a more realistic style with more dramatic lighting. The cover of Simpsons Comics #68 has the classic set up, poses and props with Homer being rejected by other Simpsons characters all dressed as superheroes. The cover of Dark Horse Presents #115 has odd characters dressed somewhat like the Legion trio rejecting Dr. Spin's application to their superhero club. One of the back-up strips in the LEGION Elseworlds Annual was a Retraux story featuring a Silver Age version of L.E.G.I.O.N. The opening panel showed them on an intergalactic quiz show where the host was wearing a Superman costume (without the Chest Insignia), and they relayed their answers with the same Yes/No buttons. The cover of "Legion of Super-Heroes/Bugs Bunny Special" is another homage to Adventure Comics #247, replacing Superboy and the Legion three founders with Bugs Bunny, Lightning Lass, Ultra Boy and Brainiac 5 (who states that "[they're] not THAT desperate!") |

The Flash vol 2 twice duplicated notable covers from the same number of vol 1: The cover of #105, which sees the return of the second Mirror Master is based on the vol. 1 cover which introduced the original. Except that while Barry was running towards a row of mirrors with identical reflections of Scudder, Wally is running through a crazy mirror dimension with McCulloch reflected in random shards from all angles. The cover of #123, in which Wally had become the official hero of Santa Marta, California, commuting from Keystone, duplicated the famous "The Flash of Two Worlds" cover, except that instead of Barry and Jay both rushing to rescue the same man, it showed two Wallys rushing to rescue different men in the same pose (one wearing a Hawaiian shirt and with palm trees in the background). |

In Pickman's Model, the narrator compares Pickman's ability to create an eerie mood in his paintings to that of the real-life painter Henri Fuseli. Later on in the story, when he is shown a gallery of Pickman's Spooky Paintings, he notes that a few of them feature ghouls "squatting on the chests of sleepers", suggesting Fuseli's most famous work, The Nightmare. | |

In The Illustrated Wee Free Men Stephen Player does a couple of pictures based on Richard Dadd's The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke, since the scene in the book is specifically stated in the Author's Note to be based on that painting. Marc Simonetti's covers from the French translations of the books include: Either the poster for Gone with the Wind or the one for the 1977 biopic Valentino (Moving Pictures) The poster for MGM's The Wizard of Oz (Witches Abroad) The cover of Abbey Road (Soul Music) Franzetta's Leg Cling again (Interesting Times) |

Garaku Utagawa of Ayakashi Triangle creates ink painting that come to life, several of which homage traditional Japanese art: His Zerg Rush of rabbits and frogs resemble those in the Ch�jū-jinbutsu-giga picture scrolls. His giant octopus, which ends up grabbing Matsuri and Suzu, resembles the ones in the infamous woodblock print The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife. |

A lot of the ocean scenes in Pacific Rim feature CGI waves specifically modeled on Katsushika Hokusai's famous woodcut "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". The way the movie shows its kaiju was also directly modeled on the painting The Colossus, generally attributed to Francisco de Goya. |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: In the prologue, Galadriel sits beside a big pile of Elvish helmets in a desolated forest. The visuals of that scene resembles a work of the 19th-century Russian painter Vasily Vereshchagin — "The Apotheosis of War". Some costumes seem to be inspired by artworks too, like Galadriel wearing the golden dress in Lindon, and Queen Regent Miriel wearing a white dress with golden applications with a blue paledamentum over her shoulder, pay homage to Girl With A Golden Wreath by Leon Francois Comerre, and respectively, to Zenobia's last look on Palmyra by Herbert Gustave Schmalz. Galadriel's armors are both inspired by different paintings of Joan D'Arc, such as "Joan of Arc" by John Everett Millais and Charles-Amable Lenoir, and the 1854 "Joan of Arc at the Coronation of Charles VII" by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Disa's dress and hairstyle are inspired by several works by Gustav Klimt. One of the Dwarven ladies witnessing the challenge between Elrond and Durin wears a headdress clearly inspired by the Iberian sculpture of the Lady of Elche. Elendil's white armour is very similar to the book cover made by Violet Oakley for the mythical hero Lohengrin, Knight of the Swan, in 1910. |

Given that one of the main characters of Safe Havens is a child, time traveling Leonardo da Vinci, it's surprising it doesn't happen more often. But in one notable instance, he shows that his painting "The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne" is actually a family portrait he paints of himself, his mother Maria, and his stepmother Bambi, to show his mother in the past that she would find love again. Another time, after he says he promises to someday paint his friend Candide's portrait, Candide is seen giving the Mona Lisa Smile, implying that she's the true identity of Mona Lisa. | |

Legion of Super-Heroes: The cover of Adventure Comics #247: The Legion of Super-Heroes!, portraying the three founders of the team behind a desk with name tags judging Superboy as unworthy of their "super-hero club" gets homaged occasionally: The cover of Superman (1939) #147 revisits the theme with the Legion characters replaced by their evil counterparts. The cover of Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 4 #88 sees the trio—Lighting Lad replaced by his sister—trying to reject Impulse but finding their buttons aren't working while Imp holds sparking wires behind his back. The cover of Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 5 #48 depicts most of the Legion behind tiered desks with name tags watching tryouts for the club. The cover of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #29 painted by Alex Ross features the same characters as the original but in a more realistic style with more dramatic lighting. The cover of Simpsons Comics #68 has the classic set up, poses and props with Homer being rejected by other Simpsons characters all dressed as superheroes. The cover of Dark Horse Presents #115 has odd characters dressed somewhat like the Legion trio rejecting Dr. Spin's application to their superhero club. One of the back-up strips in the LEGION Elseworlds Annual was a Retraux story featuring a Silver Age version of L.E.G.I.O.N. The opening panel showed them on an intergalactic quiz show where the host was wearing a Superman costume (without the Chest Insignia), and they relayed their answers with the same Yes/No buttons. The cover of "Legion of Super-Heroes/Bugs Bunny Special" is another homage to Adventure Comics #247, replacing Superboy and the Legion three founders with Bugs Bunny, Lightning Lass, Ultra Boy and Brainiac 5 (who states that "[they're] not THAT desperate!") "Those Emerald Eyes Are Shining": The cover of issue #301 is a homage to the cover of Adventure Comics #300, wherein the magazine became the Legion of Super-Heroe's official "home". |

The cover of "Legion of Super-Heroes/Bugs Bunny Special" is another homage to Adventure Comics #247, replacing Superboy and the Legion three founders with Bugs Bunny, Lightning Lass, Ultra Boy and Brainiac 5 (who states that "[they're] not THAT desperate!") | |

Ophelia takes quite a bit of inspiration from Pre-Raphaelite style art: The choice of scenery and particularly the way Ophelia is depicted appear to draw influence from John William Waterhouse's paintings of the◊ character◊. The opening scene of Ophelia drowning is reminiscent of John Everett Millais's famous painting of Ophelia. |

Doctor Who: In "Terror of the Autons", a Time Lord messenger appears as a man in a bowler hat and business suit, but floating in mid-air. This is a shout-out to Rene Magritte's painting "Golconda", which has similarly dressed men falling into a cityscape like raindrops. The Fourth Doctor's iconic silhouette with wide-brimmed hat, long scarf and overcoat was inspired by the stage garb of the late-nineteenth-century cabaret singer and comedian Aristide Bruant, as immortalised in famous posters for him by Toulouse-Lautrec. In "Warriors' Gate", the ruined Gate is copied from Caspar David Friedrich's painting Klosterfriedhof im Schnee (Monastery Graveyard in the Snow). The Silence look incredibly like The Scream (Munch); Word of God says the in-universe explanation for this is that they've been subconsciously influencing our art and culture for centuries. The Undergallery in The Day of the Doctor has some of these, including a version of The Raft of the Medusa with Cybermen. "The Woman Who Fell to Earth": The Stenza travel pod is visually reminiscent of the "Nancy style" of art nouveau glassware. |

The various paintings by Charles Chatenay in Red Dead Redemption 2 are based off of various real world paintings that were made during the Fauvist Movement, including Woman in a Chemise by André Derain, Reclining Nude in Blue with Straw Hat by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and Study of a Nude and Nude on a Yellow Sofa by Henri Matisse. Chatenay himself seems to be mainly an expy of Paul Gauguin. | |

They also meet Bruegel himself. "Het Rijmende Paard" ("The Rhyming Horse") the painting of St. Martin Dividing His Cloak by Anthony Van Dyck is brought alive to teach humanity about sharing. By accident it's just his horse that escapes from the painting and needs to be brought back. |
