The Album Covers of Brian Eno.

The album’s pastoral cover art is a detail from After Raphael, a painting by Tom Phillips, Eno’s mentor during his days at Ipswich Art College. (Some believe that the boy in the foreground, with the blond hair and the red beanie, is meant to be Eno.) The back cover depicts the decidedly un-rocking image of Eno sitting up in bed, reading a book – underlining the album’s general vibe of stillness, solitude, and quiet reflection.
