The Power of Death (1889-90)
by William Holbrook Beard (United States, 1825-1900)

In William Holbrook Beard’s painting “The Power of Death,” the embodiment of Death is depicted in a powerful struggle, firmly clasping the neck of a fiercely struggling tiger. Unlike the typical portrayals of Death’s serene approach to claim a life, this scene mirrors the tiger’s intense turmoil. The foot of Death is triumphantly placed upon an elephant, symbolizing an absolute conquest over the colossal creature. In the backdrop, the carcasses of other formidable predators lay defeated, illustrating the inevitable supremacy of Death over all, regardless of their strength or ferocity.
