During Ziegler's party, Bill is summoned to the bathroom to deal with an apparent overdose, as he climbs the spiral staircase he passes [[Giulio Bergonzoli|Giulio Bergonzoli's]] sculpture ''Gli amori degli angeli'' (The Loves of Angels) which is at the foot of the staircase.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut - An Analysis, Part One |url=http://idyllopuspress.com/idyllopus/film/ews_one.htm |access-date=2023-12-21 |website=idyllopuspress.com}}</ref> This sculpture is said to be inspired by a poem titled ''The Loves of the Angels'' by 19th-century poet [[Thomas Moore]]; the poem itself describes the story of three angels who fall in love with mortal women and share the password to heaven with them resulting in their banishment.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Project Gutenberg eBook of Thomas Moore, by Stephen Gwynn. |url=https://www.gutenberg.org/files/34930/34930-h/34930-h.htm |access-date=2023-12-21 |website=www.gutenberg.org}}</ref> At the time of the poem's release, it was received with controversy due to the open eroticism throughout.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hawthorne |first=Mark D. |date=1975 |title=Thomas Moore's "The Epicurean": The Anacreontic Poet in Search of Eternity |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/25599975 |journal=Studies in Romanticism |volume=14 |issue=3 |pages=249–272 |doi=10.2307/25599975 |jstor=25599975 |issn=0039-3762}}</ref> During the same party sequence, Bill is talking with the two models as they walk past a small reproduction of [[Gian Lorenzo Bernini|Gian Lorenzo Bernini's]] sculpture ''[[Apollo and Daphne (Bernini)|Apollo and Daphne]]'' sitting on a table.<ref>{{Cite web |title=After Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) Apollo and Daphne… |website=Drouot.com |url=https://drouot.com/en/l/19878309-dapres-gian-lorenzo-bernini-di |access-date=2024-01-02}}</ref>

When Bill enters a cafe towards the end of the film, two [[Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood|Pre-Raphaelite]] paintings can be seen hanging on parallel walls, [[Ophelia (John William Waterhouse)|''Ophelia'' by John William Waterhouse]] and ''Astarte Syriaca'' by [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]].<ref name="Wilkes">{{Cite web |last=Wilkes |first=Robert |date=2015-09-08 |title=The Kubrick Connection: some Pre-Raphaelite references in 'Eyes Wide Shut' |url=https://dantisamor.wordpress.com/2015/09/08/the-kubrick-connection-some-pre-raphaelite-references-in-eyes-wide-shut/ |access-date=2023-12-21 |website=Pre-Raphaelite Reflections}}</ref> Waterhouse's ''Ophelia'' depicts the [[Ophelia|character by the same name]] in Shakespeare's tragedy [[Hamlet]] moments before her death.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Waterhouse's Versions of Ophelia |url=https://www.victorianweb.org/painting/jww/paintings/moore1.html |access-date=2023-12-21 |website=www.victorianweb.org}}</ref> ''Astarte Syriaca'' depicts [[Astarte]], the ancient Syrian goddess of love, as well as two symmetrical angels holding torches directly behind her.<ref name="Wilkes"/> Both paintings mirror events within the film and, as Robert Wilkes writes, reflect its "mood of sensuality, ritualism, and exoticism".<ref name="Wilkes"/> In the same cafe scene, a [[crystoleum]] print of [[Maude Goodman|Maude Goodman's]] ''Hush!'' (or, ''A Moment of Idleness'') is seen behind Bill as he sits down with a newspaper; in the following shot the print is replaced with what Wilkes describes as a "more chaotic, nightmarish image" as Bill reads about the ex-beauty queen's apparent overdose.<ref name="Wilkes"/>

When Bill is walking through a hospital hallway towards the end of the film, he walks past [[Jann Haworth|Jann Haworth's]] painting ''Aunt Gurdi Burning'' (1995).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut - An Analysis, Part Seven |url=http://idyllopuspress.com/idyllopus/film/ews_seven.htm |access-date=2024-01-02 |website=idyllopuspress.com}}</ref> The painting is oil on canvas and mounted on a screen; it is in the permanent collection of the [[Chelsea and Westminster Hospital]] where the scenes were filmed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Aunt Gurdi Burning {{!}} Art UK |url=https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/aunt-gurdi-burning-178555 |access-date=2024-01-02 |website=artuk.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Eyes Wide Shut Film Locations |url=https://onthesetofnewyork.com/eyeswideshut.html |access-date=2024-01-02 |website=onthesetofnewyork.com}}</ref>
