''The Garden of Death'' ((フィンランド語:Kuoleman puutarha)) (1896) is a painting by Finnish symbolist painter Hugo Simberg. 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". 〔 (Hugo Simberg ) at YLE.fi〕〔(The Garden of Death ) at New York University's Art, Literature and Medicine Database〕 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. 〔(The History, Art and Architecture of Tampere Cathedral )〕 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. ==References==
