*There are several allusions to famous paintings in the [[Hearts of Stone]] quest [[Open Sesame!]]. When Geralt and [[Vimme Vivaldi]] meet the art dealer, you can see the following pictures: "Et in Kovir Ego" by N. Boussin (a reference to "Et in Arcadia Ego" by Nicolas Poussin), "The Battle of Anghiari" by V. da Linci (meaning Leonardo da Vinci), "A Vessel Leaving Port" by Z. Burner hints to the many paintings of ships and harbors by the English artist William Turner and the "Still Life" by J. de Varvari points to the Italian master Jacopo de' Barbari. "The Spice Merchant" by E. van der Knoob is probably a reference to Anthony van Dyck's portrait of the spice merchant Cornelis van der Geest. In the auction there is a picture called "Starry Night over the Pontar" by van Rogh, which is obviously hint to Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night Over the Rhone".
