So apparently the New Sopranos' poster is supposed to be an homage to The Raft of the Medusa a painting by Theodore Ge'ricault. The painting depicts the story of the Medusa a ship that ran into problems on the way to the Port of St. Louis in Senegal, apparently due to a slightly overbearing captain, continued to the point where certain crew members were throw overbored or chopped to bits, and ended with members of the crew on a raft, resorting to Cannibalism.
Crazy internet rumor? maybe...but you have to admit there is something to be said for the parrallels in the story.
