Goya and The Shining link:

In the front of Stephen King’s source novel, The Shining, there is the quote:

– GOYA.

This is a reference to the 1799 etching by Francisco Goya:


The pose of the man in the etching is eerily like Jack Nicholson in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 movie adaptation: 


Coincidence … or an intentional reference?
