Is... is that last one (Lights of Laboring Tagil) Midgar from FF7?

Uh... not sure, you're going to have to explain the reference to me, comrade.

Me being a snarky USAi'ian mostly.

But yeah, the first "town" in the video game Final Fantasy 7 is big city named Midgar. At a few points you get a sky eye view of the city and its set up pretty much like that painting. A huge power plant in the center, sky rise towers surrounding it built on top of various levels of older constructions with slums on the bottom.

Final Fantasy 7 is a game about how capitalism and industrialization is killing the planet and it features a heavily industrialized city, called Midgar, where the wealthy live in the sunshine on a plate that is elevated above the heavily polutted slums, where everyone else lives without ever seeing the sun.

The painting is quite reminiscent of the asthetics of Midgar.

I love Renaissance paintings more but holy fucking shit.

Me too. Renaissance was definitely a peak, but I don't understand why people knock socialist realism so much.
