Throughout history, Death has been personified in art. But Hugo Simberg's painting, The Garden of Death, shows Death as a gardener and caretaker. Simberg said that the garden is "the place where the dead go before they go to heaven". Then, when they wither, the flowers, (each of which stands for a human, individual soul), are finally transplanted to paradise.
It's a much lovelier depiction than the usually scary image of Death, don't you think?
