The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

Some extra tips and tricks to make this a little easier.
1. Dont destroy the painting while in combat, it could bug out the NPC and the ghost lady will do nothing.
2. Sneak onto the roof outside. Either by jumping up roof by roof or misty step from outside the building.
3. Use invis while on the balcony outside (or on the ground below the building), be careful of the vines on the ground on the balcony, as they'll knock you out of invis.
4. Open the door while invis and misty step across the upstairs into the painting room.
This should avoid all contact and keep you out of combat, that way you can just destroy the painting and the NPC should talk to you and her ghosts/skulls wont spawn.
Hope this helps.
@Kataleptyk
If you have any problems with this mission, here's the full tip without any fight:
1. Talk to Jonnath in her residence (optional, getting to Jonnath requires defeating some Poltergeists but you don`t need to do this to finish this quest).
2. Obtain The Torch of Revocation from Carrion (complete the Thrumbo rescue quest, obtain Carrion's liver, heart, brain and lungs or rob him - any method)
2. Jump as a magician equipped with The Torch of Revocation onto the balcony in front of the door to the room with the painting (e.g. use the flight spell or mysthic step)
3. Summon any elemental squire, e.g. water element.
4. Disconnect the squire from the magician (remove the link in the chain connecting him to the magician).
5. Open the door with the magician, but do not go inside.
6. Go inside with the Elemental itself, it will turn into turn-based mode and it will probably be thrown down the stairs by the Skull to the level below, where it will be dealt with by the Poltergeist.
7. Enter the mage, the mage is not in combat mode and can move freely. Go to the easel and place a painting with the painter's self-portrait in it. A secret chamber will open.
8. In the secret room interact with the girl's image and destroy it.
9. Congratulations! You completed the quest without any fight, the poltergesists are dead, the skulls are also gone and as a reward, take the things from the chest and go to talk to the painter's wife.

Yeah my first playthrough I ended up in the sewers early cuz The Emperor had me go through his handmedown gear at the Elfsong Tavern and that kickstarted the whole Orin kidnap thing in the sewers.
I figured the kidnapping was an imminent timed thing so I "accidentally" found The Iron Throne, Temple of Bhaal, Mystic Carrion's jarred up body parts, the location of the elder brain under the city, and Minsc'd hideout before the bank scene trying to find Orin's hideout.
Later on many times my character was talking about stuff I had no idea about. None of it made sense, and people were even talking to me as if I killed Gortash (like Karlach's weapon trader friend) when I didn't. Felt like I spoiled myself of so many questlines so I restricted myself of the sewers completely.
Was so confused and immersion-broken that I decided to restart the whole game. This time I avoided the sewers completely until explicitly told to go somewhere in them. All the quests actually made sense now, but exploring the lower city too much is the same as exploring the sewers too much. Now, other quests were spoiled for me early because I explored too much.
Act 3 is so bad, I just did House of Hope, Iron Throne, and Shadowheart and Astarion's quests and stopped playing. What a fucking mess of an act. It's like I needed meta knowledge to properly enjoy it.
Act 1 and 2 were so good. The pacing and natural order of doing quests felt polished for the most part. I wish Act 3 felt the same.
@rodrigorubio8545
For those having issues, here's some help:
1. The skulls are a cursed object, if you have a cleric, well lets say they can take care of the skulls with one spell, get into turn base mode before approaching the skulls to avoid being blown away.
before 2: SPOILER ALERT

2. If you have issues with the poltergeist: if you saved Volo in act 1, let him operate on you, he will give you a uh, nice " counter" to invisible enemies.
@stratecheese1302
There isn't a single battle in bg3 that was as deadly as this one where the cursed skulls nearly killed my 4 full leveled characters.

How, the roof is hidden for me :(
@footvantage06
@@mmh708 I used enhanced leap to jump to the roof of the building to its side. Then you can jump across to the mansions roof.
@Vagran
Tried invisibility still got knocked by the skulls. On the plus side once you get to the top floor a slashing weapon can take down pretty much any door. If you're a heavy weapon master, wooden doors will quake at the sight of you.
@MOTat18
For number 9, you can also get Mystic Carrion's heart from the servant after telling him it's in him. After he pukes it out, you can take it back to the Mystic Carrion for the reward.

@leon6257
If you already completed Carior quest,you propably have the Torch of Revocation in your chest,if you killed him ,same deal. check your box ,its an (orange icon) torch.
@okbye7382
once your done with the quest remember to steal stuff from the house, there is an office downstairs with a safe and inside is some arrows of fiend slaying and one arrow of aberration slaying worth 480.
most paitings around the house are worth about 30 but i got like 1000 from stuff i stole from the house (the npc's didnt say anything) and the 1000 worth painting.
@jchang1985
I stumbled into Jannath's just clicking a point on the map really far away, and somehow I aggroed the entire haunted house and all the flaming fist within 3 blocks. 😢
