"Island of the Dead (Version 5)"

Arnold Bocklin (i) - Oil On Panel (i) - 80 x 150 cm - 1886 - (Museum der bildenden Künste (Leipzig, Germany)) (i)
Isle of the Dead (German: Die Toteninsel) is the best-known painting of Swiss Symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901). Prints were very popular in central Europe in the early 20th century Vladimir Nabokov observed in his novel Despair that they could be "found in every Berlin home". Böcklin produced several different versions of the mysterious painting between 1880 and 1886. The fifth version was commissioned in 1886 by the Museum of Fine Arts, Leipzig, where it still hangs.
