Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures Each instance of SCP-XXXX is to be enclosed in a clear plastic container, with 7 cm of space from the painting to the panel, to prevent the entity that resides in an SCP-XXXX getting out. The room needs to be circular with halogen bulbs. SCP-XXXX should never be put into a container that doesn't allow light to penetrate through.
SCP-XXXX A-D is to be arranged in containment towards one another. In the event of the discovery of a single SCP-XXXX, two of the contained SCP-XXXX are to be used in retrieval with an empty container to have the discovery be in eye contact with a captured SCP-XXXX, as its activation seems to be negated when in eyesight of another SCP-XXXX. All personnel must ensure that instances of SCP-XXXX are only handled by the frames during transport. The paintings seem to feed off of light, and if they are in darkness for a maximum of seven minutes, then the spirit of the artwork will escape.
Description; Each of the five instances of SCP-XXXX are oil paintings in Baroque style that depict people in extreme pain by a variety of medieval torture and execution devices. SCP-XXXX responds to any form of physical interaction. All have the same activation methods: Touching the painting itself, and observing the picture. SCP-XXX seems to feed off of light, and if they are in darkness for a maximum of seven minutes, then the entity inside the painting will escape.
Scene: A woman wearing a medieval torture device called the 'Head Crusher.' The woman's jaw was crushed, and her left eye popped out of its socket from the pressure.
Location at the time of Containment: Master Bedroom
Scene: A man placed on a contraption called the 'Judas Cradle.' The victim is in the waist harness above the pyramid-shaped seat, with the point inserted into their anus or vagina, then slowly lowered by ropes.
Location at the time of Containment: Living Room
Scene: Heavyset man placed in 'The Scavenger's Daughter.' Man's face shows blood seeping through openings, which implies the subject suffered internal bleeding.
Location at the time of Containment: Study room.
Scene: Old man being flayed. Inspired by the Martyrdom of St. Bartholomew. The faces of the torturers are distorted and blurred.
Location at the time of Containment: Living Room.
Scene: Brazen bull over an open flame.
Location at time of containment: Guest Bedroom.
Through studies conducted on D-Class personnel, it is established that when the conditions for activation have met, the observer is instantly killed via the method as shown in the instance of SCP-XXXX. It is still undetermined as to where the contraption came from, and how it appeared within a second of activating the paintings. Within a minute of the observer killed, the contraption disappears.
The signature on the instances suggests the painter was ████ ████, a 17th-century nobleman.

Discovery SCP-XXXX came to the attention of The Foundation on █/█/20██, Following reports of strange deaths in the Molise region of Italy linked to an abandoned home. Due to the remoteness of the location and widespread superstition, it is determined that Field Team Leo was required for the assessment of a potential anomaly.
During which Field Leader Kent was interviewing the mayor of the village; eight Field Team Leo operatives went into the house to investigate. Within an hour, they reported two of the soldiers had died in a particular fashion after being left alone in the study. 2 more operatives died, after handling a painting in the living room. After being informed of what happened inside the house by the surviving field agents, it was then decided by Team Leader Kent to call Mobile Task Force Phi-15 ("The Hoarders"), to contain the site. Individual villagers also reported that four months ago the mayor's son died while exploring the attic with a friend. According to testimony provided by the son's friend, the friend left as a painting captured the child's attention.
Through the following investigations conducted by Mobile Task Force Phi-14; the common link established was that each of the rooms the operatives and villagers were killed in had a painting. The living room, in particular, had two of these paintings facing each other on separate walls, which meant that the two operatives died after they handled SCP XXXX-D, the two instances of SCP-XXXX seemed to have their hazardous properties nullified due to the two paintings facing each other. Recovered paintings were transported to Site-77 for further study.
Addendum A
Interviewed: Entity of SCP XXXX-1 through D-Class personnel D-86-011
Interviewer: Researcher Paxton
Foreword: Initial Interview to ascertain the origin of SCP-XXXX-1.
<Begin Log, Jan. ██/20██>
Researcher: This is Paxton. Today we are using subject D-86-011 as a vessel to communicate with SCP-XXXX-1 that resides in the painting classified as SCP-XXXX-A. The reason for using D-86-011 is due to records stating she claimed insanity from demonic possession when the subject murdered four people, and her MRI scans show abnormal activity. It was determined by my superior, Director █████; that subject D-86-011 the only one in the facility who's the mental state can withstand this task.
[Static for 10 seconds, followed by heavy breathing]
SCP XXXX-1: Feels… So wonderful to be out.
SCP XXXX-1: It's been so long… Since I ever said my name… It is Liboria Agnelli.
Researcher: How were you trapped in the painting?
SCP XXXX-1: My soul was in the painting… Because of ████. He defiled God. To trap me in eternal damnation.
Researcher: The artist was the one who trapped you in the painting?
SCP XXXX-1: … Yes.
Researcher: You said he defiled God, can you be more specific?
SCP XXXX-1: … No… I have little strength to stay in this body for much longer…
Researcher: One more question then. Can you think of a reason as to why ████ would do this to you and the other victims?
SCP XXXX-1: I can't say for sure… But I think he was a man… Who wanted to make people sing praises of his work… By any means… So he used us to bring his work to life, to make the ultimate masterpiece… And to think… I was his last subject among countless other victims…
Researcher: Countless others? You mean there are other instances besides the five we have in containment?
SCP XXXX-1: … Yes.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: The interview with SCP XXXX-1 reveals ████ made more instances of SCP-XXXX then The Foundation estimated. It is of utmost importance to recover the other instances. Director █████ also placed Researcher Paxton in charge of uncovering any history regarding the artist in hopes of tracking down other instances of SCP-XXXX and containing them. D 86-011 passed away after the interview finished.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The area around SCP-XXXX is to be fenced off from the public, assigning security personnel to monitor the area to prevent any civilians from entering the area. Enclose the lake beneath the village by sealing the upstream and downstream openings with three thick slabs of stainless steel. It is recommended to divert the water flow around the affected area through digging a tunnel by using D-Class Personel as manual labor, so as to not disrupt the water supply to settlements downstream.
Picture of SCP-XXXX-4: Codename Huá
Description; SCP-XXXX is a village located in the Eastern Guizhou province of the People's Republic of China. Devoid of any organic life form, the only inhabitants of the village and surrounding area are what appeared to porcelain dolls of people and various animals, both of the domestic and wild variety in a 15km radius. It is determined after extensive testing that the porcelain figures are in fact biologically living beings, likely people and animals, that had their eyes and external skin down to the dermis turn into porcelain glass, with the only remnants of their internal structure being the skeletal structure and remnants of internal organs.
It was decided that in order to understand what was occurring in the vicinity.
1. Executioner Paintings
—
The second idea is that these paintings hold the souls of the subjects in the paintings; the artist literally executed his objects as he was painting them to achieve perfection.
Expand on the executioner paintings outside of them being anomalous murder devices.
Remember what I said about putting them in a circular room that allows for eye contact from all corners? And when one discovers another painting they need to bring two more so that it will have eye contact with them? I was thinking that if there's only one painting in the room, then just by looking at it will get you killed.
I'm thinking that the reason they shouldn't be in a box is that without any form of light, be it artificial or natural sunlight, these paintings would basically disintegrate and allow the spirit to escape. That's why they should not be destroyed either.
2. Porcelain Village
An abandoned village located in a remote area of Southwestern China (likely Eastern Guizhou province) entirely composed of 400 life-sized porcelain dolls. When a subject stays in the village for a month, they become a porcelain doll themselves. Testing has shown that the skeleton has is mostly the same; while the skin, fat, internal organs and muscle tissue have transformed into ceramic. The cause of the transformation is a special type of bacteria found in a small underground aquifer that provides drinking water to the village. Ingesting this water allows the bacteria to enter the body and change the genetic structure of any large living organism that ingests the water.
Groups involved:
Phi-14 (The Hoarders)- in the gathering of the dolls and other items that are deemed to be of important information for the organization. They are known as hoarders because they would be involved with SCP's that have multiple instances of it, thus they would collect them like hoarders.
Ministry of State Security Bureau № 74: The Celestial and Unworldly Division (CUD)- a highly secret unit of the PRC's Ministry of State Security whose task is to investigate paranormal activities and anomalies within the People's Republic as well as other countries within their influence (under the guise of benevolent programs like Confucius Institutes and the Belt and Road Initiative), and to see how they can be used to advanced the goals of the party and the nation, would generally be in opposition to SCP.
