ABOVE IS PROBABLY BOCKLIN'S MOST FAMOUS PAINTING, of which he made several verions. The first one, which he did for a patron, he liked so much he kept it for himself and painted another.
Trivia point - the font below which became wildly popular in the late 60s and early 70s is called the Arnold Bocklin font in his honour but was not actually designed by him. For a while it was to be seen everywhere on fantasy book and record covers; so much so that it became a cliche and is now only used as a quick pointer to those heady days.
