Arnold Böcklin

Encyclopedia Article

Arnold Böcklin (1827-1901), Swiss painter, whose allegorical and fantastical paintings, many based on mythical creatures, anticipated Surrealism. His early style consisted of idealized classical landscapes. In the 1870s, he turned to fantastic scenes from German legends, paralleling the use by Richard Wagner of similar subjects in opera. His later works, such as The Island of the Dead (in five versions, from 1880, one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), became increasingly dreamlike and nightmarish.
