Arnold Böcklin (1827 – 1901) was a Swiss symbolist painter. His most famous work, “Isle of the Dead”, was purchased by Adolf Hitler, who adored Böcklin’s work, owning eleven of his paintings in total. Other artists such as Salvador Dali, Sergi Rachmaninoff, Marcel Duchamp and H. R. Giger, were inspired by Böcklin’s mystical and fantastical pieces.
