-Hugo Simberg dealt with the subject of death in many different ways. This oil painting The Entrance to Tuonela depicts figures of skeletons, which Simberg often used as the heralds of death or, here also as ferrymen to the Underworld. The River of Tuonela (the Underworld in Finnish mythology) has been crossed, and departed persons of various ages are being escorted to the realm of the dead. Some make the journey on their own, reconciled to their fate. A dog, too, is being taken to the other side in the arms of a skeleton. In Simberg’s work, death is often portrayed as friendly and sympathetic – sometimes even pathetic. Death is an integral, natural part of life. Even so, here the artist has painted the way to Tuonela as bare and barren.
