Death The Lover | William Strang | 1901

In this haunting allegorical engraving, William Strang portrays Death not as a destroyer but as a seducer. A skeletal figure, cloaked in shadow, crowns a contemplative nude woman with a wreath of flowers—symbols of both beauty and mortality. The intimate yet chilling encounter blurs the line between desire and demise, reflecting Strang’s fascination with the eternal tension between life’s sensual vitality and its inevitable decay. Rendered with meticulous linework and tonal restraint, the scene evokes the macabre lyricism characteristic of the Symbolist movement.
