Marvel's Art Appreciation Variant Covers

Every so often, Marvel comics does a set of variant covers featuring their characters drawn in the style of a variety of classic works of art history. Obviously, I love this, though I have yet to collect any of the actual covers myself. Here are a few of my favorites under the cut. Note that the Marvel variation is on the left, and the original inspiration is on the right, with the artist underneath. 

 
Inspiration: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec





 

Inspiration: Alphonse Mucha

Inspiration: Vincent van Gogh 


Inspiration: Egon Schiele


Inspiration: Albrecht Duerer and/or German woodblocks in general (no exact match)


Inspiration: Salvador Dali
