Arnold Bocklin: Colour Plates
No Customer Reviews
Arnold Bocklin (1827 - 1901) was a Swiss symbolist painter. Influenced by Romanticism his painting is symbolist with mythological subjects often overlapping with the Pre-Raphaelites. His pictures portray mythological, fantastical figures along classical architecture constructions, often revealing an obsession with death, creating a strange, fantasy world.Bocklin is best known for his five versions (1880-1886) of Isle of the Dead, which partly evokes the English Cemetery, Florence, close to his studio and where his baby daughter Maria had been buried. An early version of the painting was commissioned by a Madame Berna, a widow who wanted a painting with a dream-like atmosphere.Clement Greenberg wrote in 1947 that Bocklin's work "is one of the most consummate expressions of all that was now disliked about the latter half of the nineteenth century".
