    This would be perfect for an establishing shot in a Dark Sun DnD campaign.

    Any idea if this predates the artwork for the German show Dark? They’re strikingly similar.

      Yes it does…

      This is a painting from maybe 60s or 70s if I would guess.

      I strongly suspect Beksinski’s art was a big inspiration for Dark; iirc he was most prolific in the 60s-90s - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zdzisław_Beksiński

      his whole portfolio is a catalog of WHOA HOLY SHIT

      I dont know if they are really that similar. The idea of a valley leading to a cave or opening in a wall isn’t exactly original to either piece of work. I think that the one you linked might be similar either by coincidence or artists subconscious, but I highly doubt it is inspired by this artwork.
