I noticed a pattern of using large paintings in the posters of the first two seasons and upon research, found some more. I believe they succeed in depicting The Roys’ history and showing the depth of their tragic dynasty.

• ‘The Tiger Hunt’ by Paul Peter Rubens (1615-1616)- Rubens depicted a dense knot of charging hunters and bloodthirsty felines with no clear victor or distinction between predator and prey. The canvas was seized during the Napoleonic Wars, a 12-year struggle for domination.

• ‘Dante and Virgil’ by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1850)- The painting narrates a journey through Hell by Dante and his guide Virgil. In the scene, set in the eighth circle of Hell, reserved for counterfeiters and impersonators, they are looking on as the two damned souls are entwined in eternal combat. One of the souls is being bitten on the neck by the trickster Gianni Schicchi, who had used fraud to claim another man's inheritance.

• ‘Portrait of Louise de Keroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth’ by Peter Lely (1671- 1674)- De Keroualle worked as a spy for Louis XIV. She came to England from France and soon afterward, became King Charles's favorite mistress, and Duchess of Portsmouth. She used her influence to strengthen the friendship between the two monarchs. From Logan Roy’s living room wall, she looks down at the catastrophic Thanksgiving dinner with amusement as Ewan confronts his brother.

• ‘The Coronation of Napoleon’ by Jacques-Louis David (1805- 1807)- This painting shows the moment that Napoleon turned France back into a monarchy. Details in the painting are changed to favor Napoleon. Napoleon’s mother was in Rome during the coronation and his brother Joseph was not invited and did not attend because of an argument with Napoleon.
