I am a devoted Conan fan. So it was with great sadness today that I learned that the beautiful painter who produced this absolutely gorgeous poster for the 1982 Conan the Barbarian movie has died.

In addition to this fine specimen, Renato Casaro also produced many other wonders, including:

He did many other movie posters that you will certainly recognize, but which I haven't gotten around to amending yet (I've got my eye on Red Sonja and his version of Army of Darkness, as well as his Terminator 2).

Would that there were more such artists in the world.
