D&D 5E What Is the Iconic Artwork Of 5E?

[Kaodi]

I feel like this thread has perhaps been done before recently and if so perhaps someone can helpfully point me toward it. But otherwise, as someone who has not played D&D since the 5E playtest, what is the iconic artwork of this edition? The stuff that will turn up in the equivalent of Google searches twenty years from now.

I mean, the one halfling art will definitely be remembered, but for the wrong reasons.

You have these base ones from the core books, but nothing really jumps as a whole tone for the edition, except the halfling, but for being wrong. Maybe 6e will have a better cohesion.

I did always like this one for some reason, and there is another similar.

Oh, man there's a ton, for my money 5E has the strongest art of any Edition. Looking foward to Legends & Lore later this year. I like the Adventuring party unstated story in the PHB tying chapters together. Probably my favorite individual piece is this, from the DMG:

Here are some pages from the upcoming coffee table book, with some of the more iconic pieces:

Lore & Legends is a ‘celebration’ of Dungeons & Dragons

I think Acererak in DMG cover is one of the most recognizable art of 5E. It's the one that everytime there is a "general public" article about the game, is the one most used. More than the PHB cover and surely more than the MM manual (and that is a Beholder, THE iconic monster from D&D...)

Most iconic core rulebook art is of a dragon in a dungeon.

Hard to forget three Kobolds in a trench coat:
