I might be premature with this, but I don't think that last work is M. C. Escher. I just looked through quite a few books on him, and I couldn't find it reprinted anywhere. Also, just to save someone time, the MMA poster isn't available through the MMA gift-shop on their web page. Thought that might help ID it....

I did a search on the Met's site and couldn't find anything. There is way too much info. So I sent them an email. Hopefully they will be able to help.

The piece is not in the Cloister's section either.

I found this about St. Barbara:

Saint Barbara lived and died about the year 300 A.D. She was venerated as early as the seventh century. The legend of the lightning bolt which struck down her persecutor caused her to be regarded as the patron saint in time of danger from thunderstorms, fires and sudden death.

When gunpowder made its appearance in the Western world, Saint Barbara was invoked for aid against accidents resulting from explosions--since some of the earlier artillery pieces often blew up instead of firing their projectile, Saint Barbara became the patroness of the artillerymen


And in the last scenes of Raiders of the Lost Ark....alot of ominous clouds boil up and the nazis are all killed by lightning from the ark.

I have no clue about the 3rd picture except that it looks like a thunderstorm. I don't know how Escher fits in though.
