About this artwork

An original pencil drawing depicting the angel of death - taking a poor soul, based on…

The Kiss of Death (El petó de la mort in Catalan and El beso de la muerte in Spanish) is a marble sculpture found in Poblenou Cemetery in Barcelona. The sculpture is thought to have been created by Jaume Barba, although others have claimed that its idea was conceived by Joan Fontbernat. The sculpture depicts death, in the form of a winged skeleton, planting a kiss on the forehead of a handsome young man. The sculpture elicits varying responses from the people that view it: is it ecstasy on the face of the young man, or resignation?

The drawing measures 40 cm wide × 50 cm tall and is available framed or unframed.
