"L'isola dei Morti" (Isle of the Dead) is a series of five paintings by Swiss Symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, created between 1880 and 1886. The paintings depict a desolate and rocky islet topped with dense, dark cypress trees, under a gloomy sky. A small rowboat carrying a white, shrouded figure and a standing ferryman approaches the island, which is characterized by tall, foreboding cliffs and a series of tomb portals and funerary architecture.

The first version of this iconic work was completed in 1880, reportedly inspired by a dream or vision Böcklin had, although other sources suggest the inspiration came from the English Cemetery in Florence, Italy, which Böcklin was familiar with. The series captures themes of death, finality, and the afterlife, which resonated deeply during the Symbolist movement. Each version, while maintaining the same basic composition, varies in certain details, dimensions, and mood, reflecting either the artist's evolving vision or specific requests from patrons.

"L'isola dei Morti" became one of Böcklin's most famous works, influencing a wide range of cultural and artistic outputs, from music to literature, and continues to be a subject of fascination and study in art history circles. The paintings are held in various museums, including the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Kunstmuseum Basel. The enduring allure of these works lies in their mysterious, almost theatrical portrayal of death and the afterlife, inviting myriad interpretations and continuing to captivate viewers with their somber beauty and enigmatic symbolism.
