    English: "The Garden of Death" painting exposed at Tampere Cathedral - Finland

    Author Rafael Vargas

    The Garden of Death is one of the few paintings whose symbolism Simberg explained. Typically he preferred to let viewers come to their own conclusions. In a note on one sketch he described the garden as "the place where the dead end up before going to Heaven". Simberg's juxtaposition of the traditionally frightening imagery of death with the tenderness and humor of his portrayal invite the viewer to consider mortality in a new light.
