Isle of the Dead by Arnold Bocklin, Symbolism Art Rectangular Sticker

Isle of the Dead by Arnold Bocklin, Symbolism Art Rectangular Sticker

Isle of the Dead, third version (German: Die Toteninsel) (1883) by Arnold Bocklin is a vintage Victorian Era Symbolism fine art macabre mythology painting. A human ghost in a boat moving towards an island with cypress trees and tall cliffs of rock surrounded by the calm sea ocean. All versions of Isle (Island) of the Dead depict a desolate and rocky islet seen across an expanse of dark water. A small rowboat is just arriving at a water gate and seawall on shore. An oarsman manoeuvres the boat from the stern. In the bow, facing the gate, is a standing figure clad entirely in white. Just behind the figure is a white, festooned object commonly interpreted as a coffin. The tiny islet is dominated by a dense grove of tall, dark cypress trees — associated by long-standing tradition with cemeteries and mourning — which is closely hemmed in by precipitous cliffs. Furthering the funerary theme are what appear to be sepulchral portals and windows penetrating the rock faces. The overall impression conveyed by the imagery is one of both hopeless desolation and tense expectation. About the artist: Arnold Böcklin (1827-1901) was a painter specialising in Symbolism and influenced by Romanticism overlapping with the Pre-Raphaelites. They often portray mythological, fantasy figures along classical architecture constructions (revealing often an obsession with death) and creating a strange, fantasy world.

Love this sticker! Really good quality paper, excellent adhesive so it stick’s perfectly onto my packaging. I’ve already re-ordered it in a different shape. My uploaded design turned out exactly as I wanted, the colours are nice and vibrant!

Very good quality and good finish, I would recommend double checking the size of the products as I ordered circle stickers and were smaller than expected . Colours are extremely vibrant

Good packing with cardboard envelope. Shipping with UPS tracking is cool watching it travel around the globe to my door. Gloss finish really good, good adhesive used on the sticker, used it to cover a strange apple logo on my tablet and fairy dust the case. Also have a spare sticker to slap on my car. {;-)
