Did Fuseli work for Marvel?

Odysseus in front of Scylla and Charybdis, by Henry Fuseli

Is it just me, or does Henry Fuseli’s Odysseus in front of Scylla and Charybdis look like a prototype of Marvel’s Silver Surfer? Facing the choice between two monsters, the Silver Surfer would have zapped them both. Look at Silver Surfer #3. Really, the only thing missing is the shield (and the only addition is a pair of silver underpants).
