Death the Raftsman | Franz Lippisch | 1897

A skeletal raftsman braces a long pole against a broad stretch of water, his dark clothing rising above a crowded mass of drifting bodies. The low horizon and distant hills give the scene a measured spaciousness at odds with the density of the foreground. Small areas of pale light catch faces, limbs and ripples between the figures. Lippisch turns the familiar labour of navigating a raft into a sombre image of passage and collective mortality.
