    collection of art created long before our time
    please add to it if you can
    let's say before 1930, about 100 years and older
    - the older the better
    - some information about the artwork, if possible, especially age

    starting mild, there is much more explicit gore in old art.
    decapitations, disemboweling, flaying, burning, hanging, of course crucifixions and all kinds of torture.

    those are great! thank you very much.
    just, if at all possible, at least the year of creation please and as a cherry on top
    a Wikipedia entry or other information, if such exist.

    This next one is the actual reason why I got the idea for this thread.
    The Garden of Earthly Delights, attributed to Hieronymus Bosch (c.1495–1505)

    what an awesome, amazing, overwhelming painting (triptych) the original is gigantic.
    resolution of the largest image on Wikipedia 30,000 × 17,078 pixels, file size: 222.86 MB
    way too much to upload here, but I think, some close-ups are in order, will post those later.

    this is the whole triptych as an overview with the hellscape and a lot of nice gore on the right.

    ...the patron saint of debreasting.

    She was tortured for refusing the advances of a Roman official by having her breasts torn off, and this has resulted in a lot of odd "celebration" of this event with paintings like the one below, with breast-shaped cakes and candies, etc.
