The German Tango (Lady Dances with Death) (1916)
by Louis Raemaekers

Death is a pitiless partner: when called to the dance, it claims eternal possession. This is a merciless verdict of the symbolic cartoon “German Tango” by the Dutch painter Louis Raemaekers. The painter delivered about 1,000 works on World War I and is one of the most prominent cartoonists of this war who largely contributed to the anti-German war propaganda. The persuasive, symbolic, straightforward, courageous, shocking and grotesque works of Raemaekers even after 100 years continue to mesmerize the viewers.

The Lady of Shalott (1888)
Painting by John William Waterhouse (English, 1849-1917)

The Lady of Shalott is a poem by Alfred Tennyson, written 50 years before Waterhouse painted this picture. The Lady of Shalott is cursed and forced to stay in a tower. She is only allowed to look at the world through a reflection in the mirror. One day, she sees a knight, Sir Lancelot, and falls in love with him. She ignores the curse and leaves the tower to find him, which results in her death. Lady of Shalott’s story can be read as a warning about female desire. Victorian society had strict rules and expectations for women that defined ‘acceptable’ behavior.

The Nightmare (1781)
by Henry Fuseli (Switzerland, 1741-1825)

"The Nightmare" is a 1781 oil painting by Swiss artist Henry Fuseli. It shows a woman in deep sleep with her arms thrown below her, and with an apelike demonic creature crouched on her chest. The painting's dreamlike and haunting evocation of infatuation and obsession was a huge popular success. For contemporary viewers, "The Nightmare" invoked the relationship of the creature and the horse (mare) to nightmares. The work was likely inspired by the waking dreams experienced by Fuseli and his contemporaries, who found that these experiences related to folkloric beliefs like the Germanic tales about demons and witches that possessed people who slept alone.

The etymology of the word "nightmare" does not relate to horses. Rather, the word is derived from mara, a Scandinavian mythological term referring to a spirit sent to torment or suffocate sleepers. The early meaning of "nightmare" included the sleeper's experience of weight on the chest combined with sleep paralysis, dyspnea, or a feeling of dread. The painting incorporates a variety of imagery associated with these ideas, depicting a mare's head and a demon crouched atop the woman. Fuseli may have added the horse as an afterthought, since a preliminary chalk sketch did not include it. Its presence in the painting has been viewed as a visual pun on the word "nightmare" and a self-conscious reference to folklore—the horse destabilizes the painting's conceit and contributes to its Gothic tone.

The Plague (1900)
by Arnold Böcklin
Swiss, 1827-1901 

Arnold Böcklin was a Swiss Symbolist painter whose work is known for its powerful imagery of fantasy, mythology, and allegory. 

“The Plague” depicts a grim scene of Death, personified as a spectral figure, riding a bat-like creature through the streets of a medieval town. The painting is rendered in shades of pale green, often associated with decay, against a backdrop of black and dull browns. This color palette enhances the macabre atmosphere of the scene. The only vivid color is the red cloth of a woman in the mid-foreground, who lies across another victim of the plague, emphasizing the sudden and indiscriminate nature of death.

Böcklin’s fascination with themes of war, pestilence, and death is evident in this work, which reflects the anxieties of the late 19th century. His paintings often explore the darker aspects of the human psyche, presaging the Symbolism movement that would influence artists well into the 20th century.

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.

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

The figure of Death tightly grips the neck of the thrashing tiger in its arms. Images of Death calmly walking in and taking a life are common, but here Death has the same dynamic pose as the writhing tiger. Death’s foot mounts an elephant, indicating its total victory over the giant beast. We see other large predators slain in the background; Death overcomes even the mightiest in the end.

The Satyr Family (1505)
Engraving by Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471-1528)

Dürer’s interest in mythological imagery stemmed from his familiarity with the Italian Renaissance. In this ambiguous engraving, Dürer depicted a satyr - a hybrid woodland creature typically associated with debauchery - in the role of father and family man. Instead of carousing in the forest, he plays music to his newborn child. Dürer’s play on the mother and child theme and the satyr’s unconventional fatherly behavior draws attention to a primal and simplified way of life.

The Souls of Acheron (1898)
by Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl
Hungarian, 1860-1933

Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl was a Hungarian artist renowned for his historical and mythological paintings, particularly those related to ancient Rome. His work “The Souls of Acheron,” painted in 1898, is a vivid portrayal of the Greek mythological concept of the afterlife.

In this painting, Hirémy-Hirschl depicts the god Hermes, identifiable by his winged hat and dark blue robes, as he leads the recently deceased to the lower world. The scene is set on the banks of the River Acheron, known in mythology as the river of woe, one of the five rivers of the Greek underworld. The dead are shown pleading with Hermes to allow them to return to the upper world, but he ignores their cries as he strides through the bodies to meet Charon at the shore, who will ferry these souls across the river into the underworld.

Hirémy-Hirschl’s painting captures the essence of this mythology with a dramatic composition that emphasizes the contrast between the divine figure of Hermes and the despairing souls. The use of light and shadow, along with the somber color palette, evokes the emotional weight of the scene and reflects the artist’s skill in conveying narrative through visual art.

The Truth Lies in Old Books (1910)
by Marian Wawrzeniecki
Polish, 1863-1943

Marian Wawrzeniecki was a Polish archaeologist, ethnographer, painter, draughtsman, and art historian from Warsaw, Poland. Wawrzeniecki’s paintings are known for their evocative imagery and often feature mystical and allegorical subjects.

The painting The Truth Lies in Old Books is a striking work that depicts a woman’s fleshy body with a skull for a head, collapsed upon an open book and gripping a bloody root. The painting’s title suggests a commentary on the search for knowledge and truth through literature and the written word, with the visual elements adding a layer of depth to this interpretation. It reflects the symbolism movement, which often explored themes of life, death, and the human condition through allegorical and sometimes macabre imagery.

The Unicorn is in Captivity and No Longer Dead (1495-1505)
Woven in South Netherlands by unknown artisans

The Unicorn Tapestries, particularly “The Unicorn is in Captivity and No Longer Dead,” are rich in symbolism and steeped in historical context. Created in the South Netherlands around 1495–1505, these tapestries are thought to have been designed in Paris and depict a hunt for the unicorn through an idyllic French landscape.

Historically, the tapestries reflect the late medieval era’s fascination with allegorical and narrative art. The “millefleurs” background style, featuring a variety of small botanical elements, was popular during this period and is prominently featured in the tapestries. The enclosed garden, or “Hortus conclusus,” where the hunt takes place, is not only a representation of a secular, physical garden but also connects with the Annunciation.

The tapestries have sparked scholarly debate regarding their meaning, with some suggesting they were commissioned to celebrate a marriage, as medieval poets often linked the taming of the unicorn to themes of love and devotion, enriching the tapestries’ narrative with layers of both secular and religious significance.
