A director painted in his film

In Barry Lyndon (1975), Stanley Kubrick wanted the photography of his film to have a resemblance to the 17^th-18^th c. paintings. To do that Kubrick got special Zeiss lenses from NASA in order to shoot in natural candle light, which is impossible with normal lenses. The result was marvelous and unique. Every shot, scene seemed like a portrait, a painting of the era.

In Metallica's music video for their song "Until It Sleeps", there are some references to the works of Hieronymus Bosch, (1450-1516) a Dutch painter whose work consists of fantastic imagery and he generally illustrated biblical stories and religious issues like fall of man, judgement day, etc. In the video there are direct references to Bosch's work: The Garden of Earthly Delights.
