"Kuoleman Puutarha" (English: "The Garden of Death") is a notable work by Finnish symbolist painter Hugo Simberg (1873–1917). Created in 1896, this painting is one of Simberg's most famous works and exemplifies his fascination with themes of death and the supernatural, which are recurrent motifs in his oeuvre. The painting depicts a somber, ethereal scene that is characteristic of Simberg's style, blending realism with fantasy to evoke an emotional response from the viewer.

In "Kuoleman Puutarha," Simberg presents a hauntingly serene garden, which serves as a metaphorical space between life and death. The garden is tended by the figure of Death, portrayed not as a fearsome reaper but as a gentle gardener who nurtures the plants within this liminal space. This representation of Death is a departure from traditional depictions, suggesting a more compassionate role in the natural cycle of life and decay.

The artwork is imbued with a sense of melancholy and introspection, inviting interpretations that delve into the human condition and our relationship with mortality. The muted color palette and the delicate handling of light and shadow contribute to the painting's dreamlike quality, while the inclusion of wilted flowers and skeletal figures subtly underscores the theme of transience.

"Kuoleman Puutarha" is held in high regard within the Finnish art canon and is considered a masterpiece of national symbolism. It is often analyzed in the context of Finland's cultural identity at the turn of the 20th century, a time when the country was seeking to establish its own artistic and national narratives separate from Russian influence.

The painting is part of the collection of the Ateneum, the Finnish National Gallery in Helsinki, where it continues to captivate audiences with its enigmatic beauty and profound symbolism. Simberg's work, particularly "Kuoleman Puutarha," has left a lasting impact on Finnish art and continues to be a subject of study for its rich symbolic content and its contribution to the symbolist movement in Nordic art.
