The Garden of Death: Reflections

Written By Miles Gloetzner

The Garden of Death painting by Hugo Simberg (19th Century)

Take a close look at this painting. Let its beauty and message sink in a bit…

Here are some questions to support your personal reflection:

  • What’s the first thing that stands out to you and why?

  • Notice the flowers and plants. What’s unique about them? What do they signify?

  • Who are the dead (or the dying) in this painting? Why do you think so?

  • What do you feel about “death” personified as a gardener?

  • How does this stimulate a different way of looking at death?
