Like many of Simberg's paintings, it depicts a gloomy, otherworldly scene. The central figures are reminiscent of the classic black-clad Grim Reaper, but paradoxically are tending to gardens; traditionally symbols of birth or renewal. The Garden of Death is one of the few paintings whose symbolism Simberg explained; typically he preferred to let viewers come to their own conclusions. In a note on one sketch he described the garden as "the place where the dead end up before going to Heaven". [1][2] Simberg's juxtaposition of the traditionally frightening imagery of death with the tenderness and humor of his portrayal invite the viewer to consider mortality in a new light. [3]The painting was a favourite subject of Simberg's and he made several versions using different techniques, including larger fresco version of the painting in the Tampere Cathedral, which also contains other works by Simberg. {{clear}}References1. ^{{fi icon}} Hugo Simberg at YLE.fi {{DEFAULTSORT:Garden of Death, The}}{{19C-painting-stub}}2. ^The Garden of Death at New York University's Art, Literature and Medicine Database 3. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20160428075354/http://www15.uta.fi/FAST/FIN/REL/ev-cathe.html The History, Art and Architecture of Tampere Cathedral] 6 : 1896 paintings|Symbolist paintings|Paintings about death|Paintings in Finland|Paintings by Hugo Simberg|Skulls in art |
