Provonsha, and was from a wonderful book from 1950 entitled Drama Of The Ages by William Henry Branson. The book is a religious treatise filled with wacko paintings by Provonsha and others, explaining what life is going to be like in heaven and how we're all going to be judged. I found it in a used bookstore many years ago.David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-57841384558045544592007-08-11T11:34:00.000-04:002007-08-11T11:34:00.000-04:00Hi,do you have any information about that first il...Hi,<BR/><BR/>do you have any information about that first illustration, with the man and girl waving to the zombie girl?<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-51104668813000980512007-07-18T23:07:00.000-04:002007-07-18T23:07:00.000-04:00Yeah, that Bocklin was pretty spooky alright.

That Bocklin pic is both majestic and a bit creepy, but you can see that his depiction fortells a clean, well-ordered isolation, so you get an insight into his mind. I thought that was the whole idea. Cool image though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-77512589245493763772007-07-17T11:49:00.000-04:002007-07-17T11:49:00.000-04:00Great images!Great images!Malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384967326207041211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-3487263353649449832007-07-16T22:49:00.000-04:002007-07-16T22:49:00.000-04:00Bocklin vacillated about how to depict the afterwo...Bocklin vacillated about how to depict the afterworld, and he made several versions of this painting.
