Default Help identify a very famous painting?

I saw a print of a famous painting the other day and now I'm loooking to get it in a poster, but I don't know the name of it or who made it.

It's mainly indoors, there's some sort of glacier thing coming in the door on the left, a crooked painting of the leaning tower of Pisa hanging on the wall which appears totally vertical, two girls whose torsos camouflage into the hardwood floors, a ship rushing into the house through a body of water in the right door, and books burning near a fireplace. I may have left something out or listed something innaccurate, but I'm trying to recreate it from what I saw the other day.

Any help would be appreciated.

I disagree with your definition of 'very famous'

It would really help if you would give some sort of clues as to when it might have been painted, what school of art it belongs to (to the best of your opinion) and any other specifics rather than the actual motif alone. It doesn't sound familiar to me either.

The above made Escher come to mind, though I don't think he's done anything that fits that description exactly.

I don't know much about art but its very surreal, and maybe it's not as famous as I'd thought but I know I've seen it a number of times in different places... maybe it just stands out to me because I like it.

I looked through a ton of his stuff the other day and I don't remember seeing anything like the OP described.
