The Isle of the Dead (1883) by Arnold Bocklin. The painting is partly based on the English Cemetery in Florence, near where Bocklin had a studio and where his daughter is buried. (Bocklin lost eight of his 14 children). The painting may have also been inspired by Pontikonisi, a lush islet near Corfu boasting a cypress grove and chapel. Other possible sources of inspiration include the forbidding volcanic islet of Strombolicchio off Sicily and St George Island off the coast of Montenegro. Fans of the painting included Sigmund Freud, Lenin and Hitler. Vladimir Nabokov wrote that every Berlin home had a print of the picture. #PhantomsFriday #art #arthistory #folklore #mythology #death #weird #symbolism #graveyard #gothic #history
