This painting was famously used as the album cover for Morbid Angel's ”Blessed are the Sick” released in 1991, but not that many know that the Swedish Thrash Metal band Hexenhaus used it already in 1988 on their album ”A Tribute to Insanity”.
Les Trésors de Sathan (1895) ("Sathan's Treasures") is an oil on canvas painting measuring 258 x 268 cm. According to Brendan Cole, this was a breakthrough work for Jean Delville, showcasing his unique blend of Symbolism and Esoteric spirituality. The painting depicts Satan in a captivating yet negative light, representing the material world's allure and illusion. Those who follow him are shown fallen and enthralled, succumbing to sensual pleasure and greed.
