‘REVENGE OF THE SITH’ (2005) is full of paintings.
Anakin on Mustafar, stuck on the low ground and staring up at Obi-Wan, has the same look as Alexandre Cabanel’s The Fallen Angel - Lucifer right after he’s thrown out of heaven, crying and furious at the same time.

And the lava isn’t all CGI. Mount Etna erupted in 2002 while the film was being made, so Lucas sent a crew to shoot it. That real eruption is in the background of the duel.
