THE GARDEN OF DEATH (1896) by HUGO SIMBERG

This death is depicted with unusual affection. The rather naive painting style, which is highly simplified, also takes away the figure's menace.

The garden is tended to by three skeletons, none of them the same as the others. The one to the left is watering small flowers in a green watering can. The one in the center is gently pressing a blue flower against his chest. Another figure can be seen in the background as a back view.

In addition to the three figures are in black and white, the entire artwork is covered in a bright ochre yellow hue, which acts as a colour filter. Tree trunks and a pathway leading into the unknown can be seen in the background. To the left of the figures, a white towel is hung, symbolizing the daily occurrence of the moment.

The Garden of Death is believed to be the final resting place of the deceased before they ascend to heaven. In other words, it is an intermediate stage in the afterlife. When the flowers die, they are transplanted to the heavenly realm. Each flower symbolizes a human, unique soul.

The placement of the skeletons is not accidental; the relationship to the human life-cycle is evident. Additionally, they are aesthetically appealing.

This work of art encourages the viewer to contemplate their own mortality, to appreciate the uniqueness of each individual, and to not be afraid of what will come next. Death is not depicted as a threat to life, but rather as the protector of the human spirit.

Just saw Neil Gaiman talking about Hugo Simberg’s painting “Haavoittunut enkeli” aka “The Wounded Angel”

Absolutely stunning art, but let me tell you, there is more gorgeous art by Simberg

My favourite is The Garden of Death. Also known as Kuoleman puutarha.

I could give a lecture series about how incredible Simberg’s works are, how much of symbolism there is✨
