Music within art

Can you think of a modern song (after 1960) that can be related to a painting made in between 1770 and 1900?

I will need both the painting’s name and artist and the song’s name and artist. They must be from the time frames restricted above–painting from 1770 to 1900 and song from after 1960. The song has to be in english. The lyrics of the song has to relate to the painting in some sense, be it the details of the painting or the theme of the painting, etc

OK,

This painting called “L’incendie de Granville par les Vendéens” was painted in 1793 by Jean-François Hue. The painting obviously has a structure set on fire.

The song is “The Roof is on Fire” by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three. It was released in 1984.

The common themes are simple. Fire on a roof. It doesn’t take brain surgery to figure out how they are similar. :)
