Arnold Böcklin (16 October 1827 – 16 January 1901) was a Swiss Symbolist painter. His five versions of the Isle of the Dead inspired works by several late-Romantic composers. Arnold Böcklin was born in Basel. His father, Christian Frederick Böcklin (b. 1802), was descended from an old family of Schaffhausen, and engaged in the silk trade. His mother, Ursula Lippe, was a native of the same city. Arnold studied at the Düsseldorf academy under Schirmer,  and became a friend of Anselm Feuerbach. He is associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting. Schirmer, who recognized in him a student of exceptional promise, sent him to Antwerp and Brussels, where he copied the works of Flemish and Dutch masters. Böcklin then went to Paris, worked at the Louvre, and painted several landscapes.\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDuring his lifetime, Böcklin achieved considerable recognition, especially in central Europe, and influenced younger artists such as Hans Thoma. After his death in 1901 his reputation declined rapidly as modern art styles made the literary character of his paintings seem old-fashioned. Despite this, his work was a significant influence on Giorgio de Chirico – who said \"Each of Böcklin's works is a shock\" – and was admired by Surrealist painters such as Max Ernst and Salvador Dalí. A general revival of interest in Böcklin began only in the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\nText is in German.\n\nBlack and white drawings and photos are included.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Very Fine Minus. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe book has soft bumped corners.","brand":"Hessisches Landesmuseum, Edition Braus im Wachter Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59643761688862,"sku":"RB7361","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/RB7361-arnold-bocklin-1.jpg?v=1784518038","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/arnold-bocklin-zeichnungen","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
