Paul Cadmus (December 17, 1904 – December 12, 1999) was an American artist, best known for his egg tempera paintings of gritty social interactions in urban settings. His paintings combine elements of eroticism and social critique in a style often called magic realism. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has recently reintroduced a series of his thematic paintings, The Seven Deadly Sins (1945 – 49), for exhibit in the museum’s Modern and Contemporary Art Galleries, and they are amazingly graphic works of surrealist horror art that are really something to see.
It's a reminder of death. A memento mori.

It's not at all far-fetched.While doing research for this blog post:

I saw this website where the author speculates that all artists paint themselves, even if they don't paint self portraits.
A good example is his essay on a Morandi still life as a self portrait:

And here is his interpretation of a De Chirico as a self portrait:

I find the theory a bit far fetched, but very interesting.
And I also found this nice 3D De Chirico:
Remembering the Swiss woman who went from ‘India to the Planet Mars’ in the 19th century
And how did a book on her inspire Carl Jung?

In the 1890s, a woman in Geneva described her previous incarnations as a Hindu princess, a French queen, and her travels to Mars. Hélène Smith’s story is narrated in From India to the Planet Mars: A Study of a Case of Somnambulism with Glossolalia, a book published first in French by the Swiss psychologist, Theodore Flournoy (1854-1921) who taught at the University of Geneva.

I've seen a lot of religious art, but this is a new twist for me.

An early attempt at zombie art. That "maid" was actually a guy called Thomas Savinius who is thought to be the first prosthetic make up artist. Pourbus often worked under the name Lucio Fulci.
Not forgetting Roger Dean, whose work inspired Avatar.Floating islands of the mind, first made solid for me in the 1970s by scifi artist geniuses such as Chris Foss and Patrick Woodroffe, then, similarly for later generations (let's say the pre and peri-"MTV millions") who gazed wistfully at the music videos for 'Feel Good Inc' by the Gorillaz...and, also the allied Minecraft homages made, of that powerful group vision.
Indeed, Roger Dean! (Well, of course I should've said 'Yes '!)Not forgetting Roger Dean, whose work inspired Avatar.
I met him once.
