Arnold Bocklin (1827 – 1901) was a symbolist artist influenced by Romanticism movement. Bocklin’s works are Symbolist by style with mythological themes frequently relating with the painters Pre-Raphaelites. He portrays fantastical heroes from mythology standing next to classical Greek or Roman building architecture, frequently exposing a fixation toward fatality, raising one world of eccentric, daydream land.He is most famous for his 5 variants of the painting named “Isle of the Dead”, which to a certain extent suggests the English Cemetery in Florence, near to his mansion and where his litle baby had been buried. A first prototype of the picture was ordered by one widow who desired an artwork with a daydream impression. His painting is one of the most complete appearances of all that was hated about the end of 19th century.
