« Revenge. 1 88 Art Principles How simply one may avoid the introduction of a skeleton in a design concerned with death, is shown by an example where three artists deal with the same motive — Death, the Friend. The first composition shows an old man sitting dead in a chair while a skeleton costumed as a monk, tolls a bell*: in the second there is also an old man in a chair, but an Angel with a scythe is substituted for the skeleton'' in the third an Angel with huge folded wings form- ing an ova...l framework for her figure, leans over the body of a child which has its face hidden.'^ The second design is a vast improvement over the first, but the third is incomparably the best of the three. It may be remarked that a scythe is too trivial an emblem for the Angel of Death, for whom indeed an emblem of any kind is only admis- sible when Death is represented as the result of eternal justice, in which case a flaming sword is appropriate. Very rarely indeed can a good picture be made out of a funeral scene.
