About "Arnold Böcklin, The Plague, 1898"

by Atelier Liesjes

About the artwork

Plague is an 1898 painting in tempera by the Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, held in the Kunstmuseum Basel. It exemplifies the artist's obsession with nightmares of war, pestilence and death. The painting shows Death riding on a bat-like winged creature, who travels through the street of a medieval European town.

Plague is rendered mostly using shades of pale green, a colour often associated with decomposition. The other predominant tones are black and dull browns; for example, in the clothes worn by the figures shown in the mid and background as they dive for safety before Death's path. The red cloth of the woman shown in the mid-foreground is the only vivid colour seen; she lies across the corpse of a woman who was cut down also.

Arnold Böcklin (Basel, 16 October 1827 - San Domenico near Fiesole, Florence province, 16 January 1901) was a Swiss painter. He is considered one of the most important visual artists of the 19th century in Europe. His work is considered symbolism.
