A lone island. A coffin. A figure in white. Arnold Böcklin’s Isle of the Dead was never meant to be political or famous. Yet it became an obsession for some of history’s most powerful men: Adolf Hitler, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, & Vladimir Lenin. What did they see in this silent, haunted place? And why does it still call to something buried deep within us? This is the true story of the painting that mirrors death and how the world's most evil man misunderstood it.
