Hugo Simberg: The Garden of Death, 1986
Hugo Simberg’s beloved classic The Garden of Death is one of the most popular subjects in Museoshop’s selection. In this painting, the Death is portrayed as a gentle character, which likely contributes to the artwork’s appeal. "A place where souls end up before reaching heaven," the artist wrote on the back of one version of the artwork. In The Garden of Death, souls await resurrection. Death gives them comfort and tends to their needs.
