The Graphic Arts Cabinet exhibition, whose name is derived from the Eclogues of Virgil, explores a subject that is frequently avoided out of fear but remains an integral aspect of every individual’s existence. Death and the rituals associated with it have been the subject of many works of art since time immemorial. The Graphic Arts Cabinet will present artworks from the 16th to the 18th century, depicting the fear and pain associated with the final moments of human life, or conversely, showcasing the artist’s equanimity and humour
