Stranded

In order, left-right, top-bottom

Cornelius Hickey:

Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette - Vincent Van Gogh - He smokes. He’s dangerous. As in part one my Van Gogh thing rises again

Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan on 16 November 1581 - Ilya Repin - Ivan killed someone he loved. Hickey killed someone he loved. Hickey did feel less remorse though

Fir Forest I - Gustav Klimt - It’s red. Essentially

Perilous Position of HMS 'Terror', Captain Back, in the Arctic Regions in the Summer of 1837 - William Smyth - as with part one. Get used to seeing this. He’s on Terror innit

Saturn Devouring his Son - Francisco Goya - He’s the resident cannibal weirdo.

The Scream - Edvard Munch - the thing of it being a horror story from the start for him. Yeah. That.

Vampire - Edvard Munch - look at it and tell me that’s not Hickey. Also it matches Gibson and Tozer

Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses - John William Waterhouse - She’s very persuasive, he’s very persuasive. Once again my mythology thing rears its head

Two Rats - Vincent Van Gogh - for one, it’s Van Gogh. Also. Rats. And it matches with Gibson. Obviously

Three Studies for Portrait of Lucian Freud (but only one of them) - It’s Francis Bacon (again, I really like Francis Bacon, he features a lot in a lot of these) and also kind of looks like meat

Billy Gibson:

Storm on the sea at night - Ivan Aivazovsky - yet again, this man’s oceans compel me

Hare - Albrecht Dürer - Bunny Gibson. Enough said

On the Seashore - George Elgar Hicks - Girlnavy Billie. Look at her.

Vampire (a different version though, not sure which) - Edvard Munch - It matches Hickey and it looks So Much like him

Madame X - John Singer Sargent - Girlnavy Billie strikes again.

The Lucky Bag (I think) - Howard Chandler Christy - yet again, Girlnavy Gibson. Also this came up when I searched for Gibson Girl so

Man Proposes, God Disposes - Edwin Landseer - It’s back again for part two. It’s the Franklin expedition that’s as much link as there on this occasion

Two Rats - Vincent Van Gogh - it’s Van Gogh and it matches Hickey

They forged the last link with their lives: HMS Erebus and Terror, 1849-50 - William Thomas Smith - Variation in the paintings of Terror

Agnus Dei - Francisco De Zurbarán - I’m sure I’ve seen him compared to a lamb and this fit

Solomon Tozer:

Vampire - Edvard Munch - yet again, it matched Hickey.

Vase with Daisies and Poppies - Vincent Van Gogh - Van Gogh again. Yeah I know. And poppies have war connotations (technically peace, but still). Also it’s red like his uniform

The Siren - John William Waterhouse - Again, she looks like Hickey who very successfully lures Tozer in

The Dog - Francisco Goya - I am weak for Tozer and dog imagery

The Two Girlfriends - Henry Toulouse-Lautrec - GIRLNAVY STRIKES AGAIN, it kind of looked like GibTozer to me

Salome - Alphonse Mucha - I didn’t like any of the Solomon paintings and Salome is often used as a girlnavy name. Plus I adore Mucha. (And this was the only Salome painting without the severed head of John the Baptist in it)

The Vision of the Valley of the Dry Bones - Gustave Doré - The shale, the starvation, the Vibes

Perilous Position of HMS 'Terror', Captain Back, in the Arctic Regions in the Summer of 1837 - William Smyth - Oh look it’s Terror again

A Dismantled Brig - John Sell Cotman - Boat innit

Portuguese Cannon, Mazagan, Morocco - John Minton - @fitzloser pointed out that Tozer is the one to lose skin on the cannon so here we are

Oriental Poppies - Georgia O’Keeffe - Poppies and their war connections again, also red like the uniform again

Loyalty/Fidelity - Briton Rivière - The dog motif again. Also the fact it’s a dog staying with its owner who’s going to be hanged is just an added layer Considering

Charles Des Voeux:

Madame X - John Singer Sargent - Girlnavy Des Voeux or Frederica? You choose.

HMS 'Erebus' passing through the chain of bergs, 1842 - Richard Brydges Beechey - Oh look it’s Erebus again. What a surprise

Cleopatra - John William Waterhouse - Also Girlnavy Des Voeux/Frederica. I love both of them dearly

Le Désespéré - Gustave Courbet - He looks so much like Des Voeux, particularly later episodes Des Voeux

Circe Invidiosa - John William Waterhouse - Yeah it’s girlnavy again

Two Old Men - Francisco Goya - I’d mentally merged this one and the Man Mocked by Two Women into one painting that reminded me of the scene where he threatens Hickey. Turns out they’re two separate paintings. So both it is

Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette - Vincent Van Gogh - He smokes (I think?) and he’s just sort of grubby

The Spider - Odilon Redon - It’s creepy and grubby and so Des Voeux

The Wolves and the Flock of Sheep - Gustave Doré - Again, just sort of creepy and grubby

Tempest - Ivan Aivazovsky - It’s him again!! It’s dark and that feels Des Voeux

The Magpie - Claude Monet - Snowscape. Plus magpies steal, and while theft is a Hickey thing, you can’t convince me it’s not also a Des Voeux thing

The Last Judgement - Hieronymus Bosch - Once again, creepy and grubby, ergo Des Voeux (I’ve said “creepy and grubby” a lot but it’s a very good description of him)

Man Mocked by Two Women - Francisco Goya - this is the one I’d merged Two Old Men with in my mind

Stephen Stanley:

Still Life with Skull and a Writing Quill - Pieter Claesz - I can imagine Stanley having a skull laying around somewhere

The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons - JMW Turner - FIRE!!!!!

Crucifixion - Francis Bacon - Yeah it’s Francis Bacon again. Sue me. The way Stanley holds his arms out when he’s on fire. Yeah

The Vitruvian Man - Leonardo Da Vinci - it’s like The medical piece of art. Also it matches the other doctors

Stańczyk - Jan Matejko - Sad, creepy clown/jester. Is that not just Stanley at Carnivale?

The Search for John Franklin in the Arctic - François Musin - Is that a different painting of the Franklin expedition I see?

Black Backed Gull - Ken Currie - it’s creepy, and there’s something about Stanley and birds. Collins asks if his daughter likes birds and I can’t tell why, so if anyone has information on that, that would also be appreciated, I was going mad over this damn painting and Stanley cause of the bird thing

Self-Portrait with Death Playing the Fiddle - It’s just creepy innit

Untitled (the prussian blue death one) - Zdzisław Beksiński - It’s so so creepy I love it. If you’re not familiar with this guy he’s so good and so creepy, and so interesting, look him up

The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp - Rembrandt - Creepy and surgical, what more could you want? Also he matches Macca

The Flayed Angel - Jacques Fabien Gautier d’Agoty - Creepy and anatomical, again. So Stanley.

Harry Goodsir:

Harry was the first one I did of these (aside from Morse and Jake’s in Endeavour), fun fact I guess

Agnus Dei - Francisco De Zurbarán - he’s my favourite sheep on the planet it had to be

Crucifixion - Francis Bacon - I genuinely can’t remember why I thought this. The way he’s got his arms outstretched when he dies maybe?

Cassandra - Evelyn De Morgan - He doesn’t get listened to either!!!! But instead it’s about the lead not the ice

HMS Erebus in the Ice, 1846 - François Musin - he’s the Erebus assistant surgeon, of course there’s an Erebus

Hygieia - Gustav Klimt - a Greek goddess of medicine!! And the origin of the word “hygiene”. Just very Goodsir

Between the waves - Ivan Aivazovsky - Same again, his paintings look tasty

Still life with shells and coral - Jacques Linard - The shells he hallucinates when he’s dying

The Vitruvian Man - Again, The medical illustration and he matches the other two

Seascape near Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer - Vincent Van Gogh - it’s Van Gogh and a seascape hell yeah

Great Wave off Kanagawa - Hokusai - Ocean! Basically!

Man Proposes, God Disposes - Edwin Landseer - Oh look it’s back again

Alexander McDonald:

The Search for John Franklin in the Arctic - François Musin - Yippee more variation

Great Peacock Moth - Vincent Van Gogh - I just vibed. And it’s Van Gogh. My fondness is well documented

Head of a Clown - Joseph Kutter - Carnivale costume!!

The teeth one - I don’t know, I don’t remember and tracking it down will make me sick, teeth make me so nauseous. It might have been in the Wellcome collection but don’t quote me on that - Macca talks about teeth exploding (in the scene the screenshot is from no less) it felt right (as sick as it makes me)

The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp - Rembrandt - Macca is the one to cut off Blanky’s leg, surgery and anatomy is His Thing (and I know he enjoys it really)

The Vitruvian Man - Leonardo Da Vinci - See previous comments about it being The illustration and matching the other two

Winter Sea IV - Joan Eardley - She paints Kincardineshire (where McDonald was from) and it’s both winter and a seascape it’s perfect

Aesculapius, Apollo and Hippocrates - Unknown - All three of them are Ancient Greek figures related to medicine (two gods and Hippocrates. Well, Aesculapius started human and was later deified so) and I have a love of mythology so.

Three oncologists - Ken Currie - A Scottish painter, very unnerving, and very medical

The Garden of Death - Hugo Simberg - I don’t know it just fit Macca’s vibe

Henry Foster Collins:

The Nightmare - Henry Fuseli - HFC definitely has horrific nightmares you won’t convince me otherwise

Anxiety - Edvard Munch - Self explanatory

The dog - Francisco Goya - He’s barely keeping himself afloat the poor thing

HMS Erebus in the Ice, 1846 - François Musin - it’s Erebus . It also unintentionally matches Goodsir

The Asylum Garden at Arles - Vincent Van Gogh - I think Henry needs a brief stay quite frankly (also it’s Van Gogh again)

The Dream - Pablo Picasso - “like a dream sir”. That’s all

The Flame (Goddess of Fire) - Odilon Redon - He’s not the one that sets Carnivale on fire, but he is arguably the most affected by it

Shot Boy - Ken Currie - It looks like Henry’s Soul when he’s getting that eaten by Tuunbaq

Man Proposes, God Disposes - Edwin Landseer - If anyone deserves to have this painting it’s him

Male Nude - William Etty - MUTTONCHOPS. Just needs to be beefier

Fall in the Foothills - W. Herbert Dunton - Bears!!! HFC is my favourite bear it’s only right

Psychedelic Cat (I don’t know its real name) - Louis Wain - Henry gets high as a kite at the end, it feels fitting

John Bridgens:

The Death of Hyacint - Jan Cossiers - Apollo and Hyacinthus are Bridgens’ and Peglar’s Carnivale costumes, and Peglar has a different Apollo/Hyacinthus painting to match

Scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Titania and Bottom - Edwin Landseer - I just know that man loves Shakespeare. Also it’s Landseer, which I hadn’t realised (Man Proposes, God Disposes bloke if that wasn’t clear already)

'Erebus' and 'Terror' in the Antarctic - John Wilson Carmichael - Wrong expedition, right ships, and it’s got both ships for both Bridgens and Peglar

Queen Mab’s Cave - JMW Turner - Again, this man 100% loves a Shakespeare play

The Kiss - Gustav Klimt - It’s romantic as anything, and it matches Peglar (them matching is A Theme, if that wasn’t obvious already)

Sunflowers - Vincent Van Gogh - Peglar has the Monet ones to match, pretty much

Apollo and the Muses (The Parnassus) (but just Apollo) - Michel Dorigny - Carnivale!!

Hermia and Lysander - John Simmons - Once again, Shakespeare. Also they’re in love. And him and Peglar match again

Irises - Vincent Van Gogh - Him and Peglar match yet again, with two different Van Gogh irises (they also unintentionally match with Jirv. Whoops)

Waterlilies - Claude Monet - You guessed it, him and Peglar match with two different waterlily paintings

Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus - Gavin Hamilton - Greek mythology which both I and Bridgens love, and it’s gay and sad. Very Bridglar. (Peglar has a different one again)

The Ninth Wave - Ivan Aivazovsky - Yeah he’s back. It’s yummy again

Northern Gannet, Morus Bassanus - John James Audubon - him and Peglar were on the Gannet together (yes, they match again)

Harry Peglar:

Apollo and Hyacinthus - Nicolas-René Jollain - Again, Carnivale. Again, they match

Princess Hyacinth - Alphonse Mucha - I love Mucha, and again, Carnivale

Black Backed Gull - Ken Currie - The bird Jopson sees when Peglar is dying behind him. Peglar and and Jopson match

'Erebus' and 'Terror' in the Antarctic - John Wilson Carmichael - Wrong expedition, right ships, and it’s got both ships for both Bridgens and Peglar

Northern Gannet, Morus Bassanus - John James Audubon - him and Bridgens were on the Gannet together (yes, they match again)

Hermia and Lysander - John Simmons - they’re in love and he matches with Bridgens, and I think he’d like Shakespeare too

Sunflowers - Claude Monet - He matches with Bridgens, but not identical

The Kiss - Gustav Klimt - It’s so romantic and I love it, and it matches Bridgens

Waterlilies - Claude Monet - Once again, matching Bridgens but not identical, cause they’re their own people

Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus - Nikolai Ge - Again, mythology and again gay and sad. It’s perfect

Irises - Vincent Van Gogh - Say it with me now, Peglar and Bridgens match

Between the waves - Ivan Aivazovsky - Again, yummy and also they’re both have Aivazovsky paintings (then again, so do 75% of them)
