To person
The art of the Swiss symbolist Arnold Böcklin (1827-1901) is something special among the old masters. Last but not least, he himself was influenced by Peter Paul Rubens and, through his work, also embodied the romantic heritage of landscape painting.

Although he is one of the most successful members of his guild during his lifetime, he was constantly plagued by financial problems.

They should give the viewer ideas, make him think beyond reality and what he has just seen. Often - especially in landscape drawings - was drawn out of memory, where one welcomed the deviating from reality memory almost with open arms.
